Lake I care.

The fact that the lake is entirely unnatural having been excavated a few months ago by mechanical diggers seems not to bother our glorious leaders and although what little H2O was in there has been emptying at steady rate, as the water mark on the shore indicates, they are steadfast in their view that it will "start to fill up soon."

Also, in a coup reminiscent of that which took place on certain pond in Ormskirks premier 3AM Champagne binge spot, Coronation park several ducks of the species Anas Platyrhynchos have moved on to our ever decreasing mere. Despite the claims of Lake planners that the "Lake was not designed with ducks in mind," the birds seem quite happy. But seriously people WHAT DID YOU EXPECT its a FUCKING LAKE.

Expect a coalition of Ormskirk Model Boat Club and Edgehill topdogs, to "liberate" Ormskirks waterways from the waterbird menace, I can see Martin Mere staff as human shields, with the Wildfowl and Wetlands trust as a sort of fowl based UN. What next? Suicide Grebes? Lets hope so.

Anyway back to why Edgey has a tear in his eye, as I glance out towards our flag pole I notice the "Investor in People" flag that usually flys proudly in the breeze, is today at half mast. I can only imagine that one our brave staff trainers has fallen in the line of duty. Cut down perhaps by a flying ECDL training manual, or perhaps a felled in a team building exercise gone horribly wrong, who knows?

So folks when you’re using your team skills, Ms Word knowledge or assertiveness training please spare a thought for those brave men and women without whom there would be no 1 day courses on team building, no CBT, no “Time management” sessions. In fact no way of bunking off for a day with tea and biscuits provided at all.

Thanks for listening, oh you didn't? Well that doesn't matter just tick this box to say you "Found the session usefull" and fuck off, it makes no difference to me.
