It's true, Dave. I remember one particular chat where MrM and Stevie were voted "best chatters" 🤭

And I don't mean just chattering of the teeth

Without MrM's attention, I'm cry

🙊

No crying during The New Abnormal!

🤠🤠🤠

Unfortunately I'm kinda working this morning. Otherwise, I'd be chatting my damfool head off

Crying from laughing!?!

Just grim stoicism

You know, I'm something of a grim stoic myself.

Work has kept many of us out of the chat 😔

Final Fifteen Mins!?! 😨🤢🤬
