Posted on September 18, 2015 by thepogblog

Posted on September 11, 2015 by thepogblog

“Don’t go postal!” That’s what someone told me on email today.  I had no idea what they meant.  I had to Google it, and I found this: To be fair, I had just sent a slightly very frustrated email to her, and … Continue reading →

Disorganisation, leading to a suspected urine sample and a jumper that may well not have matching sleeves.

Posted on September 1, 2015 by thepogblog

Posted on August 21, 2015 by thepogblog
