Thanks all. She guessed this, but wanted ammunition against the "eccentric Brit" defense before she went to HR. Not, as everyone has said, that it should make a difference, but it is good to KNOW that it is bullshit. So again, thanks.
I've got two words that are going to make all the pain go away. Miniature Golf.

If he was gay, it would be still asinine behavior, but slightly less creepy. But still not acceptable.

In case people are wondering, we're going away today for a few days' of skiing (well, the rest of the family ski; I intend to catch up on some reading and spend lots of time dozing). But I will check in here when we return.
Signed,

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
That sounds lovely, Fiona.
And no, that can't possibly be true. He's the board baby!

Swouncing
Skipping (why, yes, even in this thread, that's how behind I am) because, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Benno's birthday.
And if I have my numbers right (I just counted on my fingers, and used both hands, but didn't have to take off any socks in order to start counting toes), this boy who was born when the board already thrived (though not yet on the Phoenix Board), has two digits in his age starting today. I can't believe it (hence the counting on said fingers), and yet, apparently, the numbers must be so.
Happy birthday, you big wonderful boy! With lots of wishes for your mom, your sister, and all your family, as well!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Happy birthday, Benno! First born of Buffista babies!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Happy Birthday, Benno, birthday twin! You chose a great day for your grand entrance. I hope your promotion to double digits is a happy one!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Happy birthday, Benno!

Happy Birthday, Benno!!!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Being Human: I have seen episode 1, and am halfway through 2.
So, how 'bout that reboot?
I like that the new boys are not at all like the old boys.
Stupid American question: Is Thomas's accent the same as Kelly's (from Misfits)?
