The email was sent a couple of weeks ago so I assumed he was going to brush it under the carpet, but no.

He said I am now a Senior Graphic Designer and he'll be in touch with HR next week to sort out my new pay.

So that was nice.

Excellent! And what timing with my birthday coming up.

I am currently in post op from getting my balls put back together. It all went well but more importantly morphine is the bomb.

All being well I can make some more offspring soon

This should be in the Nay thread based on the above. Sorry world.

The first line of that made it sound very dramatic. The second line made me realise what was going on.

Good luck with the recovery!

Morphine is awesome.

Make sure you have a constant supply, Gramps x

The one and only time I had that was 3 years ago when I had some bulging discs dealt with in my spine.

When I came around the nurse said I could press the button as much as I wanted as the morphine would knock me out before I could do any harm to myself.

Whilst I wasn't in pain that much I found it was useful to knock me out and get some rest.

Later on the nurse came back and said I needed to have a pee. I was still flat on my back and couldn't get any pressure built up

So I figured gravity would help and asked them to help me stand and do one.

Later that night the pain kicked in and the morphine was doing nothing, it was only in the morning that I found out during my standing to pee, the morphine pipe had become disconnected and I had been squirting morphine all over my leg and bed all night.

Bit shabby for private care as I did raise my pain issues but they just said that the computer said I had consumed loads of morphine, they should have checked the pipe really. I never raised it as it wasn't like they were going to send me home with a bottle to make up for it!!

What are Teasters?

Mr Russell · **Joined:** 6th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 12243

Maltesers?

Findus Fop · **Joined:** 14th May, 2009 **Posts:** 4299

Or it could be Tasters. Which are better than Maltesers.

Squirt · **Joined:** 31st Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 6515

Or Tasers, if Cras works in a genuinely scary office.

Teasers! It's malteasers in bar form. And each segment looks like a bum farting in the bath.

We have a new starter in the office who's from Malta. My opening gambit was "Would I be ok to refer to a group of people from Malta as Maltesers?"

Smooth, I'm sure you'll agree.

Ok, let's try this!

It is nice. It is like you've got lots of teeny tiny mslteasers all mooshed together.

Or I found it better to imagine I was 190ft tall and they were all normal sized Malteasers that had become embedded in a melty chocolate lake (like in Willy Wonka) that had burst it's bank when I stamped on the chocolate factory (it was an accident... I tripped

) and which later solidified.

Works out that they've given me a 15.4% rise.

Child number 2 will arrive around 28th of April next year

Had a 13 week scan Friday and all was good

My wife is having a rough time with morning sickness though, but hopefully that should pass soon.

Does this continue? Is having 8 kids effectively no work at all?

I had been told that by a few friends with 2 and what they said made sense.

Recently my wife's friend (who has a boy our sons age and another one 6 months) has been round twice and burst into tears on the doorstep as the 2 of them are driving her nuts

So not sure now, that said will just have to get on with it!

Without wanting to put you off, and congratulations btw, but I have found its more like the Fibanici sequence:

First kid is difficulty 1,
add 2 for the second to make it difficulty 3
Add 3 for the third to make a difficulty of 6
And then add 4 for the fourth to make 10!

But then it's the same for the satisfaction and joy you get back too.

That's not the Fibonacci sequence.

The Fibonacci sequence is:
0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89 and so on and so forth.

Oh yeah,triangular numbers that's what I meant. Not a good few maths days for me

. Couldn't add 3 4 digit numbers and then take away a 4th on Friday, and now I mess up twice on Fibonacci!
