Are you complaining about the government making affordable housing for people down on their luck?

Allotments rock. You turn up every couple of weeks, lean on a shovel, drink a can of Old Speckled Hen, then order loads of fruit and vegetables from Ocado. It really makes you feel at one with the earth.

Having Fresh herbs on tap is excellent. Being able to pull a sprig of rosemary out of your garden is and chucking it straight in a pan is brilliant. Like dogs.
Buying herbs (unless you're talking about some red light dirty with a TMO sauce pot) is rubbish. Like cats.

Absolutely. There's nothing like pulling a dog out of your garden and chucking it straight in a pan. Better to shave it first, but it doesn't matter too much.

When I move to the country I am going to grow dogs.

I think she probably needs another dog.

Technically, it's my mother's dog, so I will need my own dog when I move to the country. And a Barbour. And probably a gun. Serendipitously, I already have the green wellies.

I was assuming it was a boy dog so you could just borrow it for a bit, hence the "you're a woman" thing. That would work wouldn't it?

You'll also need goats. And bees. Definitely bees.

And llamas.
It's a girl dog, Cherry. TCL named it, remember?

Work safe and completely pointless as it's in Spanish. My first wife used to sing this song, that's all. And I just remembered it. So I looked it up.
My incredibly sexy ex-girlfriend Raquel used to sing it as well, now I think about it. Maybe I'm naturally attracted to llama fans.

Excellent. My entire department HAS to go to an emergency meeting at three. People are being pulled out of important meetings and training to attend. Nobody knows what this is about, but considering my company has been making cutbacks recently and none of us are customer facing, there is obvious speculation.

It wasn't very exciting. Apparently there are changes to reporting lines or something. I'm not quite sure what the urgency was.

You missed a trick there, Cherry, you should have fabricated some dire news then sat back and smiled as the sympathy and love poured in.

In my experience, it's not the all-hands emergency department meetings you need to be worried about.
The first-thing-in-the-morning meetings with no advance notice, on the other hand...

lol. They used to do that at DMG all the time. Work everyone up into a tiz, and then announce something either banal - like they were changing the server over and if you'd been wanting to come in on Sunday to work, then you couldn't - or something that was actively good news, usually that a publisher had been sacked.
It seems a bit crass to call an emergency meeting to announce something that isn't mass redundancy, as that's what everyone's going to assume it is anyway. It's like saying to your partner "Can you come down to the living room because you and I have to have a serious talk" and then announcing that you're thinking of arranging the DVDs by year rather than alphabetically
