Behold I bring you a health and safety notice for the office geek generation! Or at least that's what it looked like to me when Mr Bove thrust his latest artistic effort under my large, but distinguished schnozz.
A quivering lip and a moist eye were his only reply, and when I generously took my feet off his back and allowed him to stand, I magnanimously let him off with a cuff round the ear. Times are hard, the grueling, office workaday grind has descended like an ethereal wine-press, slowly squeezing the creative juices out of my poor already overtaxed staff, and they have been unable to produce the once glorious and lengthy works that bedizened these electronic pages like the all the regal colours of the mighty peacock.
But have no fear, pencils have been sharpened, pens have been refilled and fresh sheets of foolscap laid out in readiness. I feel a tingle in my ample loins that tells me that great works will soon be birthed in these very annals. But until then, oh faithful and loyal Gindyfans, here is a splendid Ministry of Information-style poster from the pen and the Corel Paint Shop Pro of Mr Bove. Click and print and press to your office wall and look at it when the Monday mornings bite and the weekend hangover squeezes you; and find for yourself some relief in the thought that it's not just me, oh no, there are others out there who share my terrible existential plight - as well as my headache!

'But where is all the work of great magnitude?', I enquired, 'you know, the stories, the fine art, the laughs, the thrill and spills, the something-to-fill-the-empty-pages-of-this-blog-with?'
