Whoever Alan Partridge is...  ::)

whatever ...

I hate seeing people fail. Love seeing folk succeed. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than to see the face of someone at the moment they've achieved something.

& I hate opening CD's ..  :-X

Genius huh? .. I think I need to be convinced ..  8)

I never found this "Alan Partridge" character in the least amusing either. We must be missing something Pete. I'm not too worried about it.

PS. I always have problems opening CDs - or any modern packaging. I must be getting old. If this is modern humour I think I prefer being old.

I'm sure you're not alone. It must be me.

"The Office" is very popular but I never got with that either. I did try but it leaves me cold. I can only suppose there must be some very strange offices around these days if this is how they carry on. I visited the main office in our company every single working day for something like 35 years. Never met anyone faintly resembling the boss or any other character in that programme. No company run like that would survive for more than 5 minutes.

PS. Contrary to popular belief I do have a sense of humour. I'm sure you would find my idea of humour a tad weird.

Here's a few real quotations.
