Re: Isms

Well, accreditation bodies already exist (e.g. UKAS in the U.K.). But it's not a legal requirement for a certification body to be accredited in order to provide certification for a voluntary standard, and lots of companies don't know what accreditation means or why it matters. Sorry, you've awoken m...

Re: To be a Boy

Made me smile :)

Though girls play those games too. Maybe without the lynching :) - but I remember pretending all the neighbours were undercover Nazis whose plots we had to foil before dinner time :)

Re: It only takes one weasel

Good point. The honest truth is, it's one of those dialogues I have in my head. And for some reason I tell people things they already know when I'm talking to myself. I guess it's by way of reminder. If I ever ever said any of these things, I'd probably phrase it as, "do you remember when..."
