Lawyers and Estate Agents

Who earns the most money? Actuaries, lawyers and estate agents? 

As a teenager starting uni I thought lawyers and estate agents were dull. I liked philosophers and artists. When I look at them now, how they have all changed. The lawyers have become far more interesting. About the philosophers and artists, the least said the better. 

My biggest mistake as a teenager, not marrying a lawyer or an estate agent.

Hospital appointments

The NHS is complaining that it is losing millions of pounds (sterling) in missed appointments. I'm not surprised.
    If you could get through on the phone there would not be such a problem. I expect half the people have died before the appointment comes around.

   My beloved uncle Ronnie had died. My local hospital sent outpatient appointments for eye tests to my uncle who had died in the hospital. I went to the morgue to get him. And show them. But he was too heavy to lift - so I had to leave him there.

Keep The Comma: Great Grammar and Great Granddad and Let's Eat ...And woman and man

Drop the comma - this week's silly suggestion.  What would happen?
Let's eat Grandma. Not the same as
Let's eat, Grandma.

Another old favourite is:

Woman, without her, man is nothing. Different meaning with different commas:
Woman, without her man, is nothing.

Hazel Nuts Humour

I was born Hazel. But I always wanted to be blonde. At school I was called Hazel nut. So I adopted my middle name Angela. I tried to register the name Hazel Nut Publications but all the Hazel Nut and Cashew Nut and Almonds and Macadamia Nut factories had already got the websites. So I settled for hazel nutter. Nobody takes you seriously if you call yourself hazel nutter. You just say your name and they grin. So I had to go into comedy. They say if you have lemons make lemonade. If people alight you when you try to be serious go into comedy.
