It was so distressing and is affecting my work output so much thinking of the poor helpless and defenceless worm. I am unable to get it out of my mindand need some time off work to cope.
I might even take the Starling to court on grounds of cruelty and harrassment to worms and see if I can get a five figure sum ;-)
Sorry, but I cannot see how a poorly cat can be seen in the same light as a child, I really cannot and I have pets of my own.

As it turns out my employer is very sympathic to personal issues and I would not want to work for an employer who is not. Tell your wife to find a new job with a better employer.

The Royal Navy's your family Rosina and you must have realised by now that male matelots never really grow up properly. Have you learned nowt from RR? So you have the PO Stoker. Look after him well. Water him daily and talk gently to him and once he's gone through adolencence (ie jealousy of the felines) he'll be at right as rain. :lol:
Always_a_Civvy said:A bucket of water over a stoker! How cruel! Surely you don't want to extinguish him so soon in his young life Rosina?

Young life??!! Are you on drugs? He is 43 going on 75. He is never happy than when whining about something! its too hot ... its too cold ... I've stolen the duvet ... why have you covered me in the duvet? ... why is the freezer full of food, there is no room? ... why is there nothing in the freezer .... why have you moved the butter from its designated place, you know it stays there for when I go blind in 30 years ... why are the windows open, the bugs get in .... its too hot ... etc
Always_a_Civvy said:43, he's the same age as me. What do you mean OLD Rosina? Anyone born around 1963 is in their PRIME at this time!!!As for the drugs, well I do like my beer, rum and malts, in reverse order of preference. 8) And the moaning? All sounds quite reasonable to me! Why do you keep relocating the butter in the fridge? What has the PO Stoker ever done to you that you should treat him so badly. Poor fellow youngster!
