Really pleased to hear that Zoe's feeling better, wholly unsurprised to hear that she had a psychotic break, as that was entirely how the whole situation struck me at the time. Really glad she's getting herself together. Wish her all the best in the future. Admire Trudy's Christmas spirit and love her for being such a damned nice person, but don't see any need to make an offer which (1) will quite definitely upset active members of the community, (2) hasn't been asked for by the lassie in question and (3) would go against previous decision. It's a kind impulse, but it's entirely needless.
Interpreting Zoe's email as a simple apology or as a hint that she'd like to be invited back onto the board is wholly a subjective interpretation. What's actually there in black and white is a very nice apology and explanation, and all power to her elbow. I hope she has a good Christmas.
all power to her elbow
Is this a Brit expression?
...er, I guess so. It means 'Go team!'
I suspect the equivalent USian translation would be "It's Miller time!"
all power to her elbow
Note to self: Add to personal lexicon.
...I
think
it's more of a 'Go Her' kind of thing than a 'Beer Now!' kind of thing. Um. If that's what 'Miller Time' means? Sort of like talking about something needing a lot of elbow grease meaning it needs a lot of work. But I don't know that I've ever thought about it before, as such. Hmm...

That is what "It's Miller Time!" means.

Fay, "It's Miller Time!" is an old advertising slogan. It means, "It's been a long, hard day, and now it's time to relax." With Miller beer, of course.
Miller time is sort of you've done a good job, now here's your reward, so yeah, not quite the same. I was thinking more of bending an elbow in celebration.
Also, HI FAY!!!!
Huh. Great phrase. I'd correlated it with "God bless the human elbow, may he bless it where it bends", which is a drinking song.
