It's my office party today. We're all off to Thai Square for lunch and booze. Lots of booze. If previous experience is to be any guide, lunch will finish at around five.
I'll try not to embarrass myself this year. Last year I rang the big upside down bell thingie. (What's that called, mum? Why was it such a bad thing to do?) I'm lucky Buddhists are into non-violence, I must say.
The good news is that we don't have a photocopier as such, so nobody will be fulfilling that stereotype. Errr, but we do have a scanner. So if I post a PDF of my arse this afternoon, you can tell I've had a really good time.

And that's quite enough reference to your arse thank-you. People have gone blind (or gouged their eyes out) for less you know.
It's called a bell, surprisingly enough. They are used in Buddhist ceremonial and therefore the attitude is that they are to be treated with respect, even if it's not your religion. This is not a reprimand but an explanation. You didn't know then but you do know. I am sure you have plenty of other ways to embarrass yourself in your repertoire if you are anything like your siblings and parents. Have fun! Get well soon. Mum x
