I see the problem. And I feel your pain. Maybe we should do some verbal pictures then, in purple prose

.

I suspect that would be even 'worse'.

::Staggers in::

Right. Another crust duly earned. Now for the real work of the day.

Good to see that Small has been diligent in her analysis of the latest research material to enter the Academy. Am I permitted a shameful little ::preen:: that the term sex on a stick has entered the Academy lexicon?

For new students - Oxford English Dictionary definition of sex on a stick.

@ Small's work-friendly post.

OED sex on a stick definition number 2

Sorry, Spiro

I've just received a note from the Department of Linguistics, which points out that further exposition of the etymology and derivation of the popular saying sex on a stick is available here, here and here.

::Sends fire blanket to Spiro::

It's all good - I finish work at 2pm, then fit in some ogling around school run & tea time.

Zumba tonight - am so tired but won't be able to go next week. Any encouragement gratefully received - zzzzz!

Perhaps a personal trainer would keep you motivated, Spiro?

Yes sorry about my rather short post earlier, I was place marking!

And sorry to steal your test sentence Maud but it seemed so apt in the circumstances. Your subsequent illustrations have left me feeling rather warm, but that may be the swimming pool air also. .

Well if that doesn't get Spiro motivated I don't know what will. That almost rivals the better known shots from that particular source.

You could always jump into the pool, Small!

OMG! Maud I think you may have done the trick there

Oh no! Another medical crisis chez Massive! The crash team is on its way.

If that had been in colour I'd have been passed out on the kitchen floor by now!

Checking for vital signs now

I'm not getting in that pool with the wee of a thousand children in it .

Can you send that dr this way next, I'm feeling a little faint myself. Actually sitting here bythe poolside I wouldn't mind Spiros personal trainer turning up.

Thanks doc, but I'm sorry to tell you you only make matters worse. Check my pupils...

Bet you'd ignore the wee if he told you to ''jump in with the other ladies'', Small

Now, Small, what is the problem?. Tell me about the symptoms you are experiencing.

Someone bring the crash cart!

. Where did everyone go?

Oh, Small. Thank goodness you're OK. Was the good doctor able toprovide comfort and support?
