How can we help you?

Any connection that you see with KY may reveal..............

And now it's KY.

Any connection that you see with snip may reveal something about your thought process or experience of surgical procedures.

:-)

I think you need to go and sit on the naughty step.

But I did smile.

😂

😀

Your poor wife! 🤣

Ah woman, thy name is misery!🤣

I can't see what you're supposed to have done wrong, Kenny.

You are lucky GG. The time between my daughter’s appointment for measuring and having the first lens done was 4 months and a week. The second one 4 months later. I had mine done in December 2011 and January 2012. Once they had decided what my problem was, hardly any wait at all.

Hope all goes well GG.

You were very lucky to get seen so soon. I had to wait 2 years and 4 months for my first cataract lens replacement to be done and another 4 months for the second. Luckily they sent me to the same private clinic in Gloucester so the new lenses were a perfect match. The result is brilliant. After having to wear glasses all day every day for 57 years I can now manage without. I had forgotten how clear colours were.

Good luck GG

My dad had both his done (about 12 weeks apart) last year and it has made so much difference. He was happy both times when I collected him from the centre but was glad of my dark glasses on the drive home to stop the light hurting his eyes.

Took a few weeks to settle to get new lenses for his glasses but each time we just took the old lens out on one side. He doesn’t regret it at all

Great news. Here’s hoping it all goes to plan and wishing you a speedy recovery

Good luck GG.

Poor Gg, Everyone is wishing you well and hoping it all goes well on Thursday, even you I guess. I hope it does too, but in my vast experience it's not always that easy to have an appointment arranged and for them to stick to it. We've had appointments moved so many times, or cancelled and rearranged later. Always "unexpected circumstances". In my book the consultant playing golf is rarely unexpected. We've even had letters rearranging an appointment to the same day but 15 mins difference in the appointment time. Do they really think you'll be seen on time???

All that Damsel has just said, no high speed driving for a while then Gg ;-)

Hope your op goes well GG. Sorry to hear that your eye still isn't right Kat, hope it gets better soon so you can thread those needles easily. Lol, your laser surgery sounds horrible!

GG, the op is painless & straightforward. You can see the lens being washed away & the worst part is worrying if the water will run into your ear.

I'm still not right after my op but that's unusual, eventually all will be well. I'm a slow mender is all. Worst part now is not being able to thread my over locker needles! Still making clothes but can't wait to get this eye sorted out so the second one can be done. Oh, & so I can read a book rather than audiobooks! Good luck, be patient, patient!🤞

Wishing you well, Grumpy G.

About 20 years ago I had laser eyesight correction.

(Alert for the squeamish, don't read the rest of this.)

I didn't have the lens replaced, but the process was to first numb the eye with loads and loads and loads of drops - the surgeon was almost pouring them in - then with a special tool, he sliced off the very top layer of the lens just a few microns thick. Then I had to stare at a red dot inside a machine while a computer guided laser went click click click and I smelled burnt flesh. The flap of skin was then put back over the lens, and then with a soft plastic brush he smoothed the flap of skin back into place, making sure to get any tiny air bubbles out from underneath. All the time I could see what was happening because I was fully concious and my eyelid was held open by some contraption so that I wasn't able to blink.

Immediately, the whole procedure was repeated on the other eye.

Now you'd think that with all those anaesthetic drops that it wouldn't be painful. But by the time it was all finished, I had cramp in the backs of both calves, and my toes had all but ripped the soles off my shoes.

Just how our NHS should work. 😍

Hope all goes well Gg. 🤞

Good stuff GG hope it goes alright 👍

I was on the way to the optician the other day and bumped into my mate. "What you doing after getting your new glasses?" He asked.

"I'll see" I said!!😜😜

Great news. Hope everything goes smoothly and you recover quickly.

That's wonderful. Hope the op goes well.

Hope your arm recovers soon.

One visit to have bloods taken the nurse had trouble finding somewhere to get blood from my arm. She then said "this will hurt" and tried between my thumb and forefinger. She wasn't wrong about the pain. Next she tried between my forefinger and middle finger saying this would really hurt. She wasn't wrong again.

My next door neighbour was a haematologist at Southampton General Hospital, but they decided to move him to Bournemouth and close his department at Southampton. He refused to do the much longer, more stressful drive every day and either took early retirement or was made redundant. What a waste of a senior consultant. As far as I know there is a department still running at Southampton General Hospital - definitely the blood samples go there, not to Bournemouth.

When I worked in a hospital in Romford I used to run bloods to the pathology lab & bring back the result slips, there was just one wee pink top bottle with a label on it & a form request.

Nowadays they take several unmarked bottles, each twice that size (8x the amount of blood), green, yellow, lilac, & blue top, one for each test.

When I was in hospital in Dublin, Plebs took blood twice daily, & every patients arms were black & blue after a week.

Phlebotomists! My wife was one and often goes on about the incompetence. She went recently for some bloods but due to two different problems they actually arranged two separate appointments for bloods. The nurse was pretty unwilling to do the second lot as she'd have to write or print out a second form. Fortunately she was persuaded to do so. My wife was such a nice person when we first met but being together so long I'm guessing a good slap and the nurse agreed to do both lots together. In fact two lots shouldn't really be needed as it can be passed on for the further tests but the lab would need half a brain to do that.

An exciting day for you then Cakey ;-)

Hope your bruising goes down soon Cakey.

Well, I hope the troublemaker was pleased with himself!🤣🤣🤣, putting you out like that! Humph! Seriously though, what a blooming day. Hope your war wounds are soon gone! 🤞

@ Anonymous, good tip!

What a day, Cakey! I hope the bruising goes down soon.

Make sure you drink lots of water before having your blood taken it help the vein inflate and blood letting easier

It might have been "normal" when he was at home, but you'd think he'd at least be more considerate in somebody else's home! At least you told him, Beth.

When my friend invited herself, husband, son and dog to stay for a few days (had come from Scotland to see other son and his partner’s new baby, then wondered why the partner didn’t feel up to having them all stay in the small flat with them!) I had to put their son (aged 20) on a Z-bed in the dining end of the kitchen. He asked to have a shower, so I said yes, of course, but he was in there 2 hrs! I banged on the door in the end, said Come on, other people want the bathroom, but it was still nearly an hour for him to come out. His mother just shrugged and said Yes, it was quite normal. Not here, I said, we won’t have any hot water now if he’s had it running all that time. What the blue blazes can you do in a shower for 2 hrs? He also stayed in bed till lunchtime every day, despite me asking him to get up, as I wanted to use the dining table, but I was just ignored - his mother said he stayed up playing online games with his mates until about 3am most nights. Eventually I had enough, marched in, said, I’ve asked you three times now, I’m not asking any more. I ripped back the duvet, threw it on the floor and said, You have 10 minutes or you get a jug of cold water over you. He got up. I told my friend that if she came again, he could stay home, or stay at his mate’s house.

@Happy. Hope you son's eye problem is soon resolved.

I hope you aren't on a water meter at that rate. If it's a combi boiler the gas bill won't be helped either! My ex DIL only got out of the shower when she'd used the whole systern of hot water. Gone & unlamented! 👋

Happy, an hour in the shower !!!!!!!!!!, Good grief, I hope they are on a water meter!

Peonies and daffodils never stand a chance - they always seem to get flattened. Hope your son’s eyes go on OK Happy.

Happy, have they tried pressure-reducing drops for your son? That's what I've been on for some time - Monoprost in my case. My husband has Latanoprost/Timolol eye drops for his glaucoma. We both had tests earlier this week. My eye pressure is increasing a bit again in one eye and the opthalmologist recommended eating oily fish regularly (as well as continuing with the drops of course). So we're both going to try to eat more sardines, etc. Hope your son can get his eyes sorted without having to have an op.

Ditto. 🙏🏻

Hope your boy gets sorted out, eye sight is precious...

Shyboy, they had done exactly the same to my peonies last weekend.

In Havant this morning, raining on and off. Gol had just got back into the car and it was an absolute deluge. Waited a while then set off, still chucking it down. Over the bridge to Hayling and the sun was out and everywhere dry. Happy, you can share your forecast storms with us, the garden still needs lots of water. The strong winds have blown the petals off all the peony flowers.

I agree with Marie , they should have contacted you to let you know that the menu was limited . Glad you found somewhere else to go . Good luck to your son 🤞x

Hopefully you are over the bad things and from now on will get better.

Let’s hope your curry makes up for yesterday.Dont work too hard!

How frustrating, Happy. They should have at least contacted you to let you know that options were limited before you arrived.

Sorry to hear about your son's health issues. I hope his appointment goes well tomorrow.

Semper fidelis.

& to think some kids are school struggled with Latin! At least it's consistent!

GHOTI spells fish.

Don't believe me?

Take the word Enough. GH makes the F sound.

Women. The letter o sounds like "i"

Station, The ti sounds like "sh"

So GHOTI spells fish.

Saphicat, your reply made me laugh 😃

WE have a local shop called City Cobbler.

Why isn't it pronounced Kitty Sobler?

@ Fusby - it always has been in our house 😂😂

I bet you're fun at parties Anonymous 😂

English isn't my first language, so I often struggle with these sayings

You all made me laugh.

No wonder they say English is a hard language to learn.

Or Sloo, or Slow...

And shouldn't Slough be pronounced Sluff?

Agreed Kenny b

Should "room" really be "romb" too?

Domb? Lomb?

Don'tcha love English!

That was very good 👍

It definitely should !

Ditto that!

A win well deserved in that case.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

🥳🥳🥳

Congratz Flossy on both achievements.

Congratulations Flossy , and well done with what you do for your local maternity 😊

Well done flossy on all counts.

Well done flossy...

Congratulations flossy and well done knitting for a lovely cause

We crochet bedspreads using wool and have from time to time put requests on Freegle and done reasonably well from it. You need to check it as the last time it smelled really bad of smoking and had moths in it. Every other time had been great.

Congratulations 🧶🧶 🧶

FORGIVE CAPS PMP.

FLOSSY,

DEFI’KNIT’ELY A WELL DESERVED WIN FOR A GREAT CAUSE 🎉

🎉 Congrats 🎉

Well done. Keep knitting xx

Well done Flossy, both on your win & your generous knitting 😃 I'm sure the babies, parents & nurses appreciate your kindness 🤱🏼🩷🩵

You're very welcome. I'm glad the money is going towards something for such a worthy cause.

Doesn’t anyone tell these morons that having a knife means they must be cowards because they need a weapon to force their will on someone. I compare it to the old Victorian explorers who shot a tiger while safely seated ten feet above it on an elephant, and holding a rifle. Not exactly brave, were they.

I can think of a million other ways I would want my name to become famous.

Where on earth do they get all these weapons from?

Agreed ANN. Back in the day we wanted a job but now they want to be famous & carry a knife because it will get them a name.

I haven't won, but I've lost numerous times. I'm old school where I don't see everyone as a winner even though they didn't win. Doesn't set kids up well for later life. No wonder so many kids don't want to work and expect it all on a plate.

We've had many members win multiple times. Having won previously has no impact on your chances of winning again. The system completes the draws from a database of active account ID numbers using a random number generator and the parameters of the smallest ID number to the largest. It then displays the postcode on the chosen account number as the winner of the draw. All it ‘sees’ is the account numbers of active members, it is not influenced by any other data or outside factors and is as random as a computer can be.

Quite a few have won twice, a few three times. The biggest winner on here, just once, won on the Stackpot.

Definitely no more smart lanes being built. I don’t know if they will keep them as additional lanes and just put in safety lay-bys or go back to using them as hard shoulder lanes. I know which I would want if I was trapped in a car in an accident.

Hi Beth, not heard anything about doing away with smart lanes although I think there's been a slow down in the rush to create more. Hope so. I always think of my late BIL & his wife & what could have been their fate if they had to 'Go left!' how could two severely mobility challenged old folk get over the barrier to safety as expected! OK, maybe there has to be a way of reducing pensioner numbers but squished on a smart lane seems a bit .....🤬

They’re already doing away with smart lanes on motorways, so it may not be long before smart meters go the same way. Maybe appliances will be sold with a reading that ‘max setting uses x amount electricity’

They always say they are smets2 smart meters but they are not, they have to use up the old smets1 meters first.

My smart meters never connect to my new suppliers, so each time I switch the engineer has to change both for some other smart meters, & I have to give manual readings till it is done..

We found out that power bills for one of the many staircases in another block in our estate was never billed (for 15yrs) since built. We were submitting all the communal meter readings in each block monthly, & our factoring Co was recieving & paying the bills & charging owners accordingly. We changed Factoring Co, & someone queried the "extra" readings.

Lol 63. I agree. "Smart Aleck"

Recently had a new smart meter (there was one when we moved in last December) it shows on the website that daily amounts are being notified yet we haven't had a bill since it was installed. Puzzles me, but now under investigation.

Pretty much anything with "Smart" in the title has got major design flaws. Smart motorways with no emergency hard shoulders come immediately to mind.

I had that survey - I avoided putting Smart Meter as long as possible, just to be bloody-minded, but had to say at the end why I won't request one. It was a coincidence that I had a recording of Martin Lewis on TV at the time, saying that our electricity bills are all higher than they need to be, to cover the cost of rolling out all the SMs, so effectively we are paying more in order to get a reduction.

It would! 😈

The idea of sellotaping a cat to the widow tickled me! 🤣🤣🤣

We often get unconscious birds on the conservatory roof after they've flown into into our bedroom window which is the only one in the room, luckily not many dead ones.

It’s not me with the problem - we do get lots of birds hitting the window when they fly up from the bird table, but only one fatality in 47 years - we must have soft glass!, 😊

Try sellotaping a cat to your window.

FORGIVE CAPS PMP.

I WONDER WHAT PLANS, IF ANY, HE HAS FOR THE GARDEN - OR SHOULD I SAY ACRE PLUS? ❤️ 🪴 🌺 🌳

Beth, you could put the outline of a sparrowhawk or similar on the window. Saves the bother of cleaning off pigeon residue.

@Beth8It, my house was built with a through lounge/dining area with a window front and back, and the back one (which is one large pane with no designs or fake lead frames on it) nearly always has the outline of a pigeon on it where they crash into it. The pigeon always leaves an outline because they're such filthy creatures, rats with wings.

Still, it only ever seems to be pigeons, so never mind eh?

I can understand the majority of Omaze house winners choosing to sell up. The upkeep must be horrendous - swimming pools, pool houses, outside kitchens, games rooms to name but a few. The council tax, property tax, fuel bills, insurances, and general household bills must be eye watering.

However, do I feel a smidgin of jealousy of these winners shown happily toasting their good fortune on their win....too right I do!

When you see the photos with all the light streaming out of the huge glass windows, you realise what it will cost to put up curtains or blinds, get the windows cleaned inside and out... there is a new house just being built near us, and he has lots of very big windows, including one as an angle where two panes meet at right-angles. This is high up, with trees all round. I was speaking to him recently and asked how many bird-strikes he had already had, as I can see them trying to fly straight across the corner through the glass. Has anyone noticed how there seems to be a trend for people to put windows directly opposite each other, at the end of say a lounge/dining room, or kitchen/diner? Kirsty Allsopp is a great one for advocating this, and architects keep saying that it will let the light in, you will be able to see right down the room etc - they don't realise that everyone outside will have a perfect view into your room, too, whereas offset windows prevent this.

Don't mind me - not much sleep last night, so having a grouch day today.

It worked out very well for one couple and their three kids - they won a 4-bed house that was only minutes from their rented property, along with £100k cash: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/apr/04/too-good-to-be-true-what-it-is-really-like-to-win-a-3m-dream-home

But the competition has never attracted me. Looking after an absurdly huge house - even via a property management company - would be just too much hassle! And the odds of winning are high - at least one in a million.

I know one family who kept for 2 years, using as a holiday home for friends and family. Then sold it.

I also heard about a family who’ve decided to let the house via Sykes holiday rentals.

With the £250,000 cash that winners also get, you do have several choices. 😊

Don't think that many winners actually occupy their winning properties, just sell them.

Thanks for this info Happy. Perhaps we'll get down there again one day to re-live some very happy memories.

Titchy... Bernard's in Denmead is still going strong, as just looked it up.

My nan and Pop had a general store at Purbrook, near Waterlooville.

Happy, I hope your anniversary meal together was all you wished for. Congratulations.

You've brought back some lovely memories for me by mentioning Waterlooville. It's where my dearly loved (and missed) Godmother moved to, after living next door to us in Shropshire. We always took her to Barnards in Denmead when visiting her. I wonder if it's still open?

Happy Anniversary to you all

Not bored at all, that was lovely. Happy anniversary!

🥂Happy Anniversary to you both🥂

Not even half that time for me.

Happy anniversary from someone who hasn't been married as long as you.

Happy anniversary to you both. 🎊

Happy anniversary and enjoy your meal.

HA 2 U both, he might be annoying at times but you know you love him. Stay Happy...

Happy anniversary to you both

Happy anniversary!

🎉🎊 Happy Anniversary, Mr and Mrs Happy 🎊🎉

Happy Anniversary from me too , enjoy your meal . How lovely that you miss each other even after one day 🥰 x

Happy Anniversary, enjoy your celebratory lunch. I liked your post on the ups and downs of family life and how sweet you both feel the same after 52 years.

Yes, happy anniversary to you both and to daughter and SIL. It’s nice to be missed, but at least you will be back together soon.

Happy Anniversary.🍾🥂

Happy Anniversary, Mr and Mrs Happy! Enjoy your meal together. How lovely that he is already missing you and it's only been a day.

Yes, it’s just on now - too late to send any in.

Beth. Yes, I used to be middle-aged but that's a long time ago.😄 If it wasn't for the Government changing the goalposts I'd now be retired.

Nick, by all means buy a bike but ride it sensibly. No need 'for high-volume endurance exercise'

A friend at work became ill when cycling and died - it was tragic - he was only in his 40s and the kind of person who would do anything for you. A Nick Name, a friend has an electric bike and they do take a bit of strength to get on them. Don't think they are the answer.

Cycle with your eyes shut, Nick, so you can’t read the report, and your eyes can persuade your heart that you’re asleep. By the way - middle-aged?

So did Lol Loled.

I LOLed.

It took me ages to read that as wok-ing (to wok) rather than Woking as in Woking. Now I'm giggling.

Worth a giggle.

:-)

🤣🤣

How can we help you?

Well done to all the jokesters!

Has anyone seen a KFC chicken, in particular? 😟

:-)

😂

Reminded me of the guy who turned up at a farm, car had broken down or something. Came across their three legged pig, and asked the farmer about it, who said "When we had a fire only the pig knew and he managed to save us all." The guy said but why has he only three legs. Again the farmer told him about the pig seeing the big storm coming and it dragged us all out to the storm cellar, if it weren't for that pig we'd all be dead. Yes but why does he have three legs? I remember the time, continued the farmer when my youngest son got stuck up a tree and I was too far away to hear his cries and the pig found me and led me to him. Well, that's a miracle said the guy, getting annoyed but why does he have three legs?

Well, said the farmer, when you've got a pig that good you don't eat him all at once.

I know an old farmer who has 4 acres & sells free range turkeys near Xmas, ... you have to catch your own.

Enver, you just reminded me of the tale of the four-legged chicken.

A scientific journalist was taken, with many security measures, to a research site where experimental chicken had been developed.

He asked various questions about their methods before asking how it tasted. "We don't know as we haven't caught one yet"

It amuses me that they usually sell odd numbers of chicken🍗🍗🍗 drumsticks, ... imagine there must be a chicken somewhere hopping around on one leg. 🐔🦵

🤣🤣

You should never apologise to a vegan, they'll start to believe their own hype.

I like the pre-apology

🤣🤣

😊

Exactly the way to look at it.😀

And from me as well.

Belated birthday wishes csikijanos.

Blimey, Rosy, sheltering under a machine with munitions on it? 💥💥💥

🎂Happy Birthday csikijanos.🎂

My Mum was 18 at the start of WW2.She worked in a munitions factory, and talked a lot about the Blitz and sheltering under her machine during air raids.

Happy birthday csikijanos! Hope you’re having a good day 🎂🍾🥂

Husband was aged 6 in 1944, said he remembers seeing all the tanks and troops heading down through Gosport, and being picked up and given a lift and some chocolate by the Americans (could be Canadians). Can you imagine finding your 6-yr-old being swept up and carted off nowadays?

Mum had been engaged to a Canadian pilot in the war, but he didn’t make it back. I found a little photo of him with his name on the back in with their family tree records. Dad was never jealous - he was badly injured in 1941 and they met while he was recuperating in 1943, and his other three brothers came home too - very lucky.

Happy Birthday csikijanos! Hope you're having a lovely day 🥳🎂🎁

@csikijanos - Happy 71st birthday !

My dad was wiring ships on the Clyde, mum was a midwife & sister tutor in Royal Infirmary, & her brother - my uncle was a chief pharmacist in Western General. Gran was a nurse, all in Glasgow.

My dad too, Barrie. Born 1909, government scientist involved with food preservation. Got call-up papers, boss made a call: 'He stays here'. Was in home guard. Mum was 16 in 1939, was expected to go into domestic service. Trained to nurse, became a midwife.

I recall the date of D-day, I was born on the 11th anniversary.

My grandfather was there but never talked about much other than talking about the French children being disappointed he had no chocolate.His medals were never taken out of the box.

Dad never fought because he left school at 13 in 1939 to work along side his dad on the farm which became a protected job.

Lovely piece CS.

My Grandfather went to war with his 11 Brothers.

All Twelve came home !

Forever Thankful to them and those who never came back.

Buttercup2, it's so sad that your dad could never speak of his experiences at Dunkirk, but not surprising, of course. I can't imagine how it felt when you read his obituary. It must have been hell on earth for the men trapped on that beach, and just the fact that your father survived, along with more than 300,000 of his compatriots, is a huge testament to those brave souls who took to the Channel in their small boats to save as many as they could. 🤗

My father was in a reserved occupation during the war so not involved in battle. His younger brother on the other hand seemed to have been everywhere. Dunkirk, D-Day landings and later Malaya. The two of them were like peas in a pod and often mistaken for each other.

I well remember my mum telling me about going down to the local US army base with her friend on the morning of the 6th after hearing planes flying over all night. They were both dating GIs from the 101st Airborne and were worried. When they arrived, they were brought inside the barracks and told they couldn't leave - the guards were very kind, giving them food and drink, but it was obvious they needed to keep them from saying anything until after they received confirmation that the invasion has been launched.

I have a photo of mum's boyfriend standing on a pile of rubble, on the back of which it says "Belgium, July 1944" so I know he survived the first month until at least Operation Market Garden. He'd given her his signet ring (which my eldest brother wears to this day), a set of duplicate dog tags with an extra tag saying "To Jeannie, my little timber queen" (she was in the Timber Corp, part of the Forestry Commission during the war), plus his uniform insignia patch, the famous Screaming Eagle, and a beautiful Spanish guitar, so he obviously cared for her, but he never came back, making me think he didn't survive - the 101st Airborne were amongst the first ones dropped into Normandy and lost so many men.

If you haven't seen it, I recommend the TV series Band of Brothers, produced by Tom Hanks and Stephen Spielberg.

My dad was at Dunkirk and never spoke about it, I didn't find out until his obituary was in local paper when he died at 75 ... it explained a few things though...

I heard today that some schoolchildren have walked across Omaha beach at the same time of day that their great-grandparents would have done. I bet they will really remember and appreciate the facts of history for having shared this experience.

Nicely said.

After two days of Storm’s aquatic adventures last week I did put the hose on him, but quite honestly it’s nicer for me too to use the shower - just not the cleaning up afterwards.

I'd use the garden hose on any dirty dog so I didn't have to clean the shower.

Don't stop posting your puppy tails Beth, they are so entertaining.

Your tails are very amusing Beth (to me, not necessarily you). I don't remember having all that fun with my dogs growing up.

Especially On 3-4 hrs sleep every day.

I take them all out in the garden last thing at night - Storm and Indi reluctantly wandered out last night, Shadow made it just out of his bed, then fell asleep on the floor again. I heaved him up, and started him moving, he got another yard and collapsed again. Lifted him up, with much scolding, and he managed to get to the back door before curling up on the mat. Picked him up (won’t be doing that much longer!), carted him out into the rain, steered him over to the bushes and he reluctantly de-tanked before trotting back to his nice warm bed.

Following their health check on Wednesday (both doing great, teeth, skin etc fine, weight in the right range) I compared their weight with previous weigh-in at 12 weeks : Storm was 12.85kg, now 17.85; Shadow was 13.10, now 18.35kg. I think they are about 22weeks? 24 wks? Born 19th January. Both getting very heavy to lift, anyway. Poppy is much lighter - I think she was about 13.5kg last week? Not sure, as I wasn’t there, but it’s not surprising she is so much faster than the boys. Anyway, all doing well, not too fat, and not underweight thank goodness - can’t afford any extra food!

I do love reading about the pups and can imagine that you would be exhausted by the end of the day.

No change with you then.

We wait long enough for any hot food, ... how much longer do we wait for one which must be cooked then served cold?

I wonder what it's called when served hot?

Had to read that twice before the penny dropped and then I laughed out loud. Very good.
