Reader, I facilitated his contribution to the gene pool

Owy has sent me a text to say that he has taken out the work Christmas party “red faces” competition with a violin recital. You remember the violin, right?
He won with a perfect score, but found a more mixed response when he announced from the stage that his cash prize was being donated to the your rights at work campaign (the negative response being the pained cries of his friends who’d thought they could persuade him to put it on the bar).
heh
PS – blogging at work is fun and easy when your boss has had to go and have a quick nana nap

Go, Owy!!
On a roll, dude. Next weekend I predict a five-fer and a double ton.

PS. The work Xmas part is on mid afternoon? That sounds like no-fun.

10 out of 10 for the act, and another 10 out of 10 for using his powers for good instead of for evil. Onya Owey! [makes devil fist]

She will give you two weeks notice! It was a stress break, and I was much nicer afterwards…

Congratulations to both of you – you don’t say what he played though … ?
(off topic Q. Are you the one who needs a replacement Mitch Miller Christmas Songs LP ?
I read one of ‘my bloggers’ say that last year and can’t think of who it was )

ahhhhh!
Prog Jazz.
and I thought my secret stash of Stephane Grappelli (in several obituaries I read, Stephanie. is there no dignity in death?) w Django Reinhardt was bad enough.
actually, it is bad enough. as I get older, my tolerance gets lower and lower. what a strange pre-teen I was.

Formal apology: sorry, it was a Poppy nap. Two weeks notice gratefully accepted.
And I don’t think I’ve ever heard Mitch Miller brownie – could it be &Duck you’re after? Speedy, you’ll be glad to hear that we have Stephane Grapelli playing with Jean-Luc Ponty on vinyl. I tried to persuade Owy to evoke it with his dad (a retired violinist) but he wouldn’t be in it. Wuss.

back away from the Mitch Miller.
seriously.
that stuff is toxic. you wouldn’t want to expose your unborn child to that stuff, Zoe. think ‘Knees Up Mother Brown’. and then think of the expense of the therapy.
but oh my! Grappelli and Prog Jazz. together at last! truly, I’ve died and gone to someone else’s vision of heaven.

I can’t help but go all tee-hee and benny hill with that post title, as in:
‘I provided the box his gift to the gene pool came in.’
Feel better now that I got that off my chest…
