    This. One thing I cannot bear is indecision.

      Bollocks; you love it because you can invoice the bastards when you sort out their mess.

        No. I recognise that the utter ineptitude of most people affords me my living, but I still cannot bear the sight of grown up people FANNYING ABOUT.

            I used to be indecisive.

              Hum. You are reminding me of the Programme Director at my last place.

              Ex public school, wearer of awful flamboyant outfits and slapper of bottoms.

              Referred to me as 'darling' until I asked him whether he actually knew my name. He was too busy looking at my cleavage to actually register my question.

                    Because as I have already pointed out it's logically impossible. They can't all have the "highest" standards, any more than 7 billion people can all be the tallest person in the world.

                    You seem to be struggling with some basic concepts like ordering and the meanings of comparatives and superlatives. They teach you that stuff at comprehensives donchaknow.

                    Parents already have lots of choices. What makes you think giving them another one will help

                    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                      To be fair most of us at least try to be more subtle about it
