An insensitive prick? Me? I did try not to laugh!Early in the New Year we were having a discussion at work, about Christmas and the accompanying gluttony within hearing range of the tubby office cake magnet, who we'll call M. One of my colleagues turned to me and said "Well M had a big tin of biscuits she said she'd bring in... although she's probably munched them all by now!"
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and in the end had to settle for a sort of middle ground compromise- a loud snorting noise as I choked on my tea, which only served to underline the previous blunder.
