Hi Michael!

Is this becomming a feminists topic?

No, no - not a bit. Don't worry ;)

I suppose that a good few (or maybe the lion's share? :D ) of the above choice phrases were contributed by men, by very clever and witty men. (Oddish and sensitive, as well :lol:)

the business-man/wife

:shock:

OK… To restore (the?) equity (at least, in this topic :) ) just a little bit:

She…
… has a maggot in her head
… is a queer fish

P.S. Yesterday here were also up to 36-37 degrees… Quite good conditions to fuse (melt?) all those little grey cells - in a useless mess.

Wishing you a bit cooler weather and hoping to see you in good health (in all senses :) ) Mr. Feminist-Hater :)
(sometimes slightly displaced in phase) Tamara :)

"Sorry about the delay - our secretary is on holiday - back on 22nd but, no doubt, a backlog."

Hi

Just to close the case :)

At 10.20 this morning (24.07, Monday) I received a quite adequate and exactly-on-my-business e-mail from the secretary. In re and ad rem :)
All right.

So, as a matter of fact, the area manager, who e-mailed me in a hurry, had used a backlog as a quite informal notice and ‘a lame excuse’-in-advance for possible future delay.

Thanks to all for comments. They helped me to be patient enough :)
