Years ago I stuck a Bristol Stool chart on the back of one of the bog doors at work. 3 days in, people were ticking off what they'd had. You find out your colleagues are more fun than you'd thought in a variety of different ways.

R18 has managed to secure a place helping out on a local archaeological dig (Roman villa) - she's been asked to bring a trowel if she's got one and I'm hoping I know someone who could advise if either of these would do? Both blades 13cm long, pointy one 6cm wide, rounded one 7cm wide.

Gosport local, Dave sounds like he might need to join a union. Best kick him in the goolies BEFORE the membership goes through.
