The waiting game

I have been kept busy completing my final two reports - thankfully. After waiting five months for the powers-that-be m to get round to finishing off the reports, it took all of 15 minutes.

On the plus side they are both recommending 'D' cat. If the review goes past November without any progress, the probation reports will be out of date and the whole process will have to be started again.

I hope that no news is good news because there's not a dicky bird regarding my retinal scan. I continue to wait for my eyes to be tested to discover if I need new glasses.

A smile at last

Not much to laugh at in here, but this turned up the corners this week, a little joke doing the rounds of the cells.

A plane was about to crash and there were only three parachutes between the four passengers.

The first man said, 'I'm Kobe Bryant, America's most important basketballer. I MUST survive.' He grabbed a parachute and jumped from the plane.

The second man said, 'I'm Tony Blair, Britain's most intelligent ever former Prime Minister. I too MUST survive.' He grabbed a pack and jumped.

The third man told the fourth passenger, a ten-year-old lad, 'I am the Pope but I am old and my time is nearly up. You have more to offer the world so I'll give you the third parachute.'

'Thank you for your offer, sir, but there's still two parachutes left. The second man took my school backpack.'
