....a few years ago there was a certain female who worked for me,very attractive and we got on like a house on fire,but I have always kept in mind a piece of good advice given to me many years ago by a very good friend who I have long since lost touch with. The advice was " don,t screw around with the payroll" for all sorts of good reasons.Well she started to have a few relationship/life problems connected with her ex to such an extent that her performance was putting the business at risk and I very reluctantly had to sack her.She was not best pleased to say the least and in fact would not even respond to my hello,s socially on the rare ocassions that we met. Then quite recently I was in a bar,drinking tilalaugh (not tequila,ok?)and she followed me all around the bar with her eyes.So I went over to ask how she was and she was quite civilised.The thing is a)I still feel a bit bad about sacking her and b)I still quite fancy her.Here,s the rub,do I ask her out for a date (and risk being told where to get off,or even worse she agrees but only to exact some sort of revenge)Oh what webs we weave when first we practice to believe,or summat like that.also,my female business partner,who was in agreement to the sacking and who herself is a truly wonderful person to whom I owe my life,may or may not be best pleased.Please advisedunno

You're getting ahead of yourself. Life is simple. Just suggest a casual meet for coffee on Sat afternoon or a quick apero after work one day and see how it goes... Your colleague can have nothing to say about such a simple straightforward thing. Why should your ex-employee say no to such an invitation? If you amuse her over coffee, she might even go see a flick with you another time... and time will tell whether you have anything in common.

I agree - a big one isn't necessarily better because it's quality that counts, not quantity. But if you can get your hands on a big one which is also good quality! Well, that's worth grabbing, non?

Here, have a glass of rosie. I'm orf to beddy byes.

Elley ... Try to begin each day new. So what about what a colleague thinks of what you do in your private life?

Tulefel: I have even googled it. And still I don’t know what it is. I gave up.
Tule, girl ... a RASTA is short for RASTAFARIAN. They have their own religion called Rastafarians ........ they wear hats and jerseys knitted (or crocheted) in the colours of Red/Green/Yellow.

The Red is for the colour of their eyes, the Yellow is for the colour of their hands .........cause they been mashing out the seeds from the Green grass that they smoke.

Get the story now....?

Bob Marley, Peter Tosh ..... Google them, and see what a Rasta is.

Oh yes, they don`t comb their hair .. its against their religion .... and they dont cut it ......so it grows into Dreadlocks.........smoking listen to music smoking batting

No. But what for do you need such a person? To chase lice in his dreads?

Chimpanzees help each other with that, if you can trust TV.

My hands, fingers and feet I need myself, haven’t got any excess for sale… Perhaps, It’s not cool not to know slang, or jargon, of fenya... Then well, I’ll remain uncool.
