Splendid!
I want to bid for the right to sit in the garden and read the paper, though. Why don't you do the Greavsie bits, cos your obviously so good at them, and I'll do the garden bit, huh, huh?
I could be persuaded to make a small offer for the love-life Greavsie franchise, I suppose.
Can I bid for "Work-Greavsie"?
I've always wanted two desks. I promise not to shout at any (important) colleagues.
Plus your job must be more interesting than mine. What's the pension like?
I want to bid for love-life Greasvie. I promise to keep your blog entertained with *painfully* honest tales of past failures & successes...
crisis - well I could make a gardening greavsie franchise I suppose.
Mr A - pension? stakeholder I'm afraid but the company do match my contributions.
shouting and glowering are part of the remit.
elaine - How painful? Free Willy type painful or Cold Mountain (the book) type painful?
There's a spiritual and intellectual Greavsie?....have I missed something...?
*off to look at archives*
I'd like to bid for Social Greavsie. Liquid pub lunch each Friday and the occasional outings to Folkestone with colourful descriptions of roundabouts.
Um, what's the remuneration?
PS. nice advert. Where'd you get it?
wendy - you probably blinked but there is indeed Ms Wendy
alda - I'm sure you'd bring a bit more refinement to social greavsie but we'd have to negotiate remuneration.
I'm not actually sure where the advert came from. It 'appeared' in my adverts box that comes with the list of referrers.
I'd like to tender for Family Greavsie please. I would undertake to compost, gather greywater and distribute appropriately, speak to you Dad about Citreon's v. The Rest Of The World and put the cat out at night.
In return, I would like your daughter to teach me to play the trumpet.
Howzat?
ally - that's a fantastic case and now 'lead bid' for Family Greavsie.
Have you discussed tendering out Love Life Greavsie to Barbarella, and if so, does she have right of veto?
nf girl - well there would be a specific set of performance criteria and she would have the right of veto.
There would be bonus clauses of course if service was enhanced during my sabbatical.
Dear Mr Greavsie
I hereby submit my tender for the Spiritual/Intellectual Greavsie side of life...bearing in mind that I tend to lean towards to the Calvin and Hobbes philosophy...for example...
"A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day...."
and...
"I'm learning real skills that I can apply throughout the rest of my life ... Procrastinating and rationalizing. "
Looking forward to...blah blah blah
Yours etc etc
wendy - I think that's a challenging proposal and one that is quite clearly a 'lead bid' for spiritual and intellectual greavsie.
I believe I have an uncontestable claim for Work Greavsie.
Did I not understand that you have recently been elevated to the sacred brotherhood of healers as Dr Greavsie? I am more than willing to undertake a locum for my usual fee. Maybe less if the Labiaoratory turns out to be as much fun as it sounds.
Dr J - Work Greavsie's Labiaoratory would be in good hands.
Sounds like nuttersville to me.
Sounds like nuttersville to me.
As opposed to what, normally? 
.
Under which category does Count Greavsie fall? I've always fancied a stint with a title, but if it's Work Greavsie forget it.
*Scratches Head*
TheBoy Inc may be inclined to bid for the Social Greavsie and Spiritual Greavsie protocals, but could we request more in terms of SLAs?
Our health and safety guidelines may disbar us from tendering if there's not enough in terms of alchohol consumption or too much in terms of knee crawling or back flagellation.
BOT - (ooh look it spells BOT) - the spiritual Greavsie is mine...and what the bloomin' heck are SLA's...is that Exec. Speak?
Well, as Calvin would say....
"I'm not dumb. I just have a command of thoroughly useless information..."
Exactement.
Caveats? An excellent word, but I'm afraid that the In Word in the blogs that matter (Dr Jest and Little Red Boat) is schnozzle.
If you had had a category for veg-growing greavsie, I'd have certainly tendered, but I think that, in the areas given, I'm beaten before I start.
*Sigh* not for the first time.
*Brighten up* that's not all bad though.
I take exception to that Z...pffft..blogs that matter...well of course Dr J is a humdinger (those GP's....whaddya know, eh!)....and Anna.....go Anna.....but we are more than that, we bloggers...
Pffft!
Greavsie...you HAVE to agree...n'est ce pass?
I mean 'pas' not 'pass'....blame the French and their jolly old wines...
wendy/ally - a jolly bunch of nutters.
ellie - You just want to be a Countess don't you?
boyontop - as wendy butted in with several bottles of plonk inside her, she has the spiritual side but I think social greavsie is still up for grabs.
z - I still prefer caveat
wendy - we all matter my schnozzled blogging lioness.
*Grrrr...Rooooaaaar*
*hic*
Good point Ally...
Dear Mr Greavsie,
I wish to apply for the position of Spiritual Greavsie. In this capacity I believe I will make excellent progress in expressing your feminine side. Also, your inner child. Chocolate! Now!
I have also had extensive experience with a number of religions and believe I could turn any away that may knock on your front door.
Yours,
Miss Tickle
Interesting.
Perhaps I could hire someone to do all of my boring stuff, freeing me up to do lolling in the park and stuff.
Katy: you mean a husband?
I think I not only meet the Greavsie Family criteria, but am living it already....it is the 12 year old daughter syndrome that is SO horribly familiar.
*blushing*
I never realized one schnozz reference would get me in to trouble. And did Wendy just blow a raspberry at me?
Think I'm going to have to hide now for a bit to recover.
Still it's rather nice being surrounded by a Rose miasma
Oh No Dr J - no raspberries...that was a *compliment*...
You can come out of hiding...
*glowing scarlet*
Sorry. Here in the NHS we don't do complements-- balme culture and all that.
Not sure what to do now.
Think I'll hide some more.
Carry on, and on with the motley!
