    1/. Oh dear, never mind.
    2/. Worse things happen at sea - I always wonder if anyonesaid that as the Titanic was sinking.
    3/. Don't panic. - guarentees that everyone will.
    4/. It's your fault  - as if blaming someone solves the crisis

    I know you are feeling suicidal at the moment but did you know that the typical blue whale produces over 400 gallons of sperm when it ejaculates?

        kirstenblogposted 13 years agoin reply to this

        I think it is one of those untrue facts hmm
        The sort that is commonly believed but if you dig a little you find out it is not true (I wish I had not done the research now!, I kinda liked that supposed fact)

    This is a crisis. A large crisis. In fact, if you got a moment, it's a twelve-story crisis with a magnificent entrance hall, carpeting throughout, 24-hour portage, and an enormous sign on the roof, saying 'This Is a Large Crisis'. A large crisis requires a large plan. Get me two pencils and a pair of underpants.

    I have a few:

    That's not hiding. That's hoping. Completely different

    Look I've got a pile of ironing waiting and six kids that think McDonalds grow on trees. Can we hurry this along?

    Cut to the chase. How much?

    It could be worse. No - really. At least you've got a date of death coming up. The rest of us just have to keep hoping that today's not THAT day. God I hate surprises
