sort of a like a side dish?


You have the Yorkshire pudding on the same plate as the roast beef. As for buying it in the supermarket, you may be able to buy it from certain stores, Howard. If not you can make it yourself with this recipe:

Don't you hate it when...

...your Yorkshires never come out 'just right'?

I used to have terrible trouble cooking these (my gran was the undisputed expert), so I just use the ready-made ones out of the box nowdays - haven't let me down yet...

You can eat these things either savoury or sweet (see link), but I've never known anyone these days doing the latter...same with dumplings...

Tch! Getting hungry now...better put the dinner on...!

....you're trapped in a lift for an hour, you phone the emergency call centre back to find out how much longer the mechanic will be, only to find that he'd been despatched to another lift entirely ! :o Half an hour later....  ::) >:( :\'(

My grandma used to make extra Yorkshires to serve as pudding with a blob of jam or golden syrup in the middle.

You get mosquitoes in the UK? When Rush first came here and encountered one, he'd never seen one before. (It's really quite a funny story!) :) So, I was under the impression you didn't have them. I don't remember seeing them there either!

Absolutely Vile

Yeah, more than likely. I hope your itches go away, Karen.  :)

My Dad was a lift operator in Pittsburgh in the 1930's in a 5-story building.

He said he was running the elevator when the cable snapped TWICE.  Back then there was a big spring at the bottom of the lift shaft.

The first time it happened he "stiffed up" and he said his knees hurt like heck.  The SECOND time, he flexed his knees.

Soon after he got a different job.  Did not want to try for three!

DYHIW you wake up at 2:00 in the morning with a cold and can't get back to sleep? and you can't really enjoy yourself very much the next few days?

You see someone struggling at a Freecell puzzle, and you attempt to do it yourself, only to find out that it's impossible. (11982, if you're wondering).

Oh yeah. I've heard that #11982 is impossible to solve, but I haven't tried it yet. I've been playing Freecell for about six years now, and I've won every deal that I've played. Sometimes I'll see my mom playing a game of Freecell, and if I see that she's stuck, I'll help her. But I don't wanna give her too many hints because I don't want to steer her in the wrong direction.

In Microsoft's online help, they claim that all 32000 are possible. So a guy I have talked to in the past wrote a code to check whether this was true, and it turns out that all but one are possible. (11982). Personally, I'm not all that good at it, but I do see the odd winning move.

Tell "em to "shove it"

I am VERY close to doing that. I have decided I am not going to put in my resignation tomorrow but that doesn't mean that I won't do it on Thursday. I will see how tomorrow goes. They have really p!ssed me off this time. When I told people that I am THIS close to quitting, no one said ANYTHING-except that something that tells me that they WANT me to quit. I am waiting (which I'm sure will never come) for just ONE person to ask me not to quit, to stay.

Cat,

I can tell you that when an employee threatens to quit, the VAST MAJORITY of managers will simply sit back and call the employee's bluff.

If it gets to the point of a worker threatening to quit, things are so out of hand that the manager often will see that as a valid way to clear the controversy/issue.  Or, they simply take it as a personal affront and say to themselves "Yeah, go ahead and quit!  He/she won't have the 'nads to do it!"

I've had 5 employees threaten to quit over the period of 24 years, and none of them ever went through with it.  And I never reacted to their threats.  It's bad policy.  If an issue has festered for that long, a manager who has been acting in good faith has already made a decision based on what he/she thinks is best for the company.  To change that decision to keep a threatening employee from quitting would be to put the cart before the horse.  And if the manager has been acting in "bad faith" all along, he won't care about the threat anyway.  Either way, the threat is of little use.

Above is my $0.02 on threats to quit.  Never seen it work in my lifetime.
