The picture was taken on a mobile phone and the little girl you see crying refused to go into the group as she said the little boy was scaring her, thinking very little of her tantrum the little girls mum(who took the picture) later discovered what the little girl was crying for.
Look closely at about Knee high between the 2nd and 3rd girl in from the left. That I suspect is the reason the little girl was crying

RE: Christmas Party
I'm happy to inform you that the company Christmas Party will take place on December 23rd, starting at noon in the private function room at the Grill House. There will be a cash bar and plenty of drinks! We'll have a small band playing traditional carols...please feel free to sing along.
And don't be surprised if the MD shows up dressed as Santa Claus! A Christmas tree will be lit at 1.00p.m.. Exchange of gifts among employees can be done at that time, however, no gift should be over £10.00 to make the giving of gifts easy for everyone's pockets.
This gathering is only for employees!
The MD will make a special announcement at the Party.
Merry Christmas to you and your Family.
Pauline

RE: Holiday Party
In no way was yesterday's memo intended to exclude our Jewish employees. We recognise that Chanukah is an important holiday, which often coincides with Christmas, though unfortunately not this year. However, from now on we're calling it our 'Holiday Party'.
The same policy applies to any other employees who are not Christians. There will be no Christmas tree or Christmas carols sung. We will have other types of music for your enjoyment.
Happy now?
Happy Holidays to you and your family,
Pauline.

RE: Holiday Party
Regarding the note I received from a member of Alcoholics Anonymous requesting a non-drinking table...you didn't sign your name. I'm happy to accommodate this request, but if I put a sign on a table that reads, 'AA Only', you wouldn't be anonymous anymore!!!!How am I supposed to handle this?
Somebody?
Forget about the gift exchange, no gift exchange allowed now since the Union Officials feel that £10.00 is too much money and Management believe £10.00 is a little cheap. NO GIFT EXCHANGE WILL BE ALLOWED.
Pauline.

RE: Holiday Part
What a diverse group we are!
I had no idea that December 20th begins the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which forbids eating and drinking during daylight hours. There goes the party! Seriously, we can appreciate how a luncheon at this time of year does not accommodate our Muslim employees' beliefs, perhaps the Grill House can hold off on serving your meal until the end of the party - or else package everything up for you to take home in a little foil doggy bag.
Will that work?
Meanwhile, I've arranged for members of Weight Watchers to sit farthest from the dessert buffet and pregnant women will get the table closest to the toilets, Gays are allowed to sit with each other, Lesbians do not have to sit with gay men, each will have their own table.
Yes, there will be flower arrangements for the gay men's table too.
To the person asking permission to cross dress - no cross dressing allowed.
We will have booster seats for short people.
Low fat food will be available for those on a diet.
We cannot control the salt used in the food we suggest those people with high blood pressure taste the food first.
There will be fresh fruits as dessert for Diabetics, the restaurant cannot supply 'No Sugar' desserts. Sorry!
Did I miss anything?!?!?!?!?! Pauline.

RE: The ******** Holiday Party.
Vegetarian *****s I've had it with you people !!!
We're going to keep this party at the Grill House whether you like it or not, so you can sit quietly at the table furthest from the 'grill of death', as you so quaintly put it, you'll get your f****** salad bar, including organic tomatoes, But you know tomatoes have feeling too, They scream when you slice them. I've heard them scream.
I'm hearing the scream right NOW!!
I hope you all have a rotten holiday, drink drive and die.
The ***** from HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: Pauline Lewis and Holiday Party
I'm sure I speak for all of us in wishing Pauline Lewis a speedy recovery, and I'll continue to forward your cards to her. In the meantime, the Management has decided to cancel our Holiday Party and instead, give everyone the afternoon of the 23rd December off with full pay.

Biggest airlift brings home 22,000 tourists
Sunday, September 14 2008
An airlift unparalleled in peacetime swung into operation over the weekend to start bringing home 85,000 tourists stranded abroad by the collapse of travel operator XL Leisure. A total of 94 repatriation flights brought back 22,090 holidaymakers from Europe, North Africa, the Caribbean and Florida in the US. The Civil Aviation Authority, which arranged the £20million operation, described the task as its 'biggest repatriation exercise' to date. 'Our immediate challenge has been to repatriate holidaymakers due home in the days following the company's collapse,' said Richard Jackson, of the CAA.'We are also working to ensure the timely return of those who are continuing their holidays over the next couple of weeks.'
Passengers were brought home on aircraft provided by airlines including BA, bmi British Midland, First Choice Airways and Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Atlantic. Bruce Dickinson, frontman for rock band Iron Maiden and a pilot for Astraeus, was one of those who stepped in to fly the stranded back. Some 30,000 passengers still abroad will continue with their holiday and their return flights will be covered by Atol, which gives protection to those that have booked through a tour operator.The remaining 35,000 holidaymakers will either return with the help of their travel operators or on CAA flights after paying a fee. Meanwhile, scores of holidaymakers in the Caribbean were reportedly faced with hotel bills of almost £1,000 - despite having already paid for their XL package holidays.Holidaymaker Martin Skillings, visiting St Lucia with his wife, told the BBC he had refused to pay the hotel, and that 34 other guests were in a similar position.As well as those stranded, XL's demise has dashed the holiday plans of about 200,000 people who were expecting to fly off to the sun.
Iron Maiden Singer Airlifts 200 Beirut Evacuees
July 21st, 2006
Iron Maiden singer and qualified pilot Bruce Dickinson airlifted 200 British citizens who had fled war torn Beirut, Lebanon, back to the United Kingdom yesterday. The 47-year-old flew a Boeing 757 to Cyprus where he picked up the evacuees and flew them back to London's Gatwick Airport.
A colleague says, "He was only too keen to get involved and help. He has a strong interest in the welfare of people caught up in international conflicts and cares about what is going on."

Its saturday at 1.40pm and Im sat outside our weekend retreat in the glorious Worcestershire countryside (Caravan) supping copious amounts of lager, sizzling in the sun like a hog on a roast, and pushing the kids out of the way so I can take a dip in their paddling pool. If this is global warming then sod the Polar Bears, go out and buy yourself Range Rovers like mine and spew out a few more greenhouse gasses. Lets have glorious hot days like these every day and piss the tree huggers right off at the same time. Sun, Beer, Rock music played out loud and a pool to fall into when you get too hot. My idea of a relaxing weekend. Then a bit more beer. Ah, the bacon sarnies are on the way and AC/DC just started on the CD player. Can it get much better than this? "Im on a highway to hell ....!"

World famous Whitesnake guitarist Mel Galley has died of cancer. The 60-year-old musician from Cannock broke the news of his illness in February and pledged to spend the last months of his life saying goodbye to friends.
His illness came a month before the star was due to take to the stage again with a new band. He died at home in Heath Hayes last night after succumbing to cancer of the oesophagus.
Earlier this year, he said: “It happens, but I’ve had a fantastic life. I have been very lucky. I have seen some great bands, and played with many great musicians. I am thankful that I can say a proper goodbye to all the friends I have made, who are now rallying round me.”
Radio Two presenter Chris Evans was among those at Galley’s 60th birthday celebration in March.
Figures in the music industry today paid tribute to the musician, who made his name with Whitesnake, Trapeze and Finders Keepers.
Mel was a local lad to us and will be missed by all. Check out the video below of Mel in his heyday in the early 80's with Whitesnake.

I tend to keep myself to myself when it comes to politics and religion. Im not a supporter of any particuar political party, and although I class myself a Christian (church of england) I can't pretend to be a regular visitor to church (wedings, funerals and christenings are about it). So I dont tend to push my own opinions on anyone, except to convert them to the god of rock music maybe. But a member sent me this link that gave me a bit of food for thought, so i though I'd post it here to let you all make up your own minds. It makes interesting reading all right. Is anywhere safe these days? http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/
