You sound like an "old codger" to me.
I haven't reached 60 yet, but i still pride myself as fit, i might have grey hair, but can run most of the youngsters i employ around the block and not get out of breath. _________________ TomTom Go 60

YUK!!! That sounds exactly the sort of boss I'd hate to work for - goes running round the block, comes bouncing back into the office hopping up and down, running on the spot, dripping sweat and BO all over every other poor soul who can't complain cos' it's the boss doing it. And posts Mission Statements and Stakeholder Values and Team Player Goals on the walls. And changes the name of the Personnel Department to Human Resources. _________________ Dennis

My old boss was a bit like this too...
...and, being the boss, he conveniently forgot that he was out running or at the gym whilst the rest of us were making his millions _________________ Andy

Ever since I retired and became self employed, sole proprietor, I'm always right, I'm always the boss, I never forget it and I respect myself so much it sometimes makes my eyes water. _________________ Dennis

Thanks for putting me right - I thought it was the repair bills from the deer and peasants or a trip to the dentist that brought tears to your eyes _________________ Andy

This is getting too complicated for me - it's like second cousin five times removed and all that...
...does anybody understand those geneological terms?
Second cousin is my cousin's child - right?
...but what is the five times removed?? _________________ Andy
