    I've seen posts in the past supposedly from travel reps with daft stuff like that.  Unfortunately it seems to be more common in the cotton wool wrapped world many seem to inhabit these days.  I saw one where somebody had apparently complained that there were fish in the sea, nobody had warned them, and they don't like fish!

    The fish probably don't much like people in the sea, but I don't suppose anyone asks them :D.

    I'm not sure if this post should be here or RTBC. I've been thinking it's Friday all day and was actually a bit miffed because Royal Mail should have delivered a package but speaking to a friend this evening I was reminded it was Thursday, mind you he had to check! The joys of getting older eh what?
    I expect my package will be here tomorrow.

    I got my birthday wrong once. I was a year younger than I thought. Put a youthful spring in my step for a while.

    You think you have problems working out what day it is.  My wife normally works Monday to Thursday but had 5 days holiday to use up.  First week she took the Thursday off, which was bad enough, but the following 2 weeks she is taking Monday and Thursday off.  I have no clue what day of the week it is.  The only consolation is that she has to think about it too.

    At least this site tells you yesterday's date. It beats sticking a pin in the calendar.

    I'm going to think today is Thurs because I took my Fri blood pressure meds yesterday so I have to take Thurs today. You see what I'm up against don't you? It's a bit rum getting older.

    I regularly think I’m a year older than I am. Because my birthday is in March, from the beginning of the year, I start thinking to myself, nearly ‘ 28’ now. Somehow, when I get to my actual birthday, I’ve got used to being 28, and it comes as a surprise that I’m not now 29.
