Bad Habits
I am in an Aberdeen hotel just now, sharing a room with the eldest.
I think I am getting on his nerves. apparently at one point last night I snored, I woke up far too soon, I used the toilet and now my second cup of coffee is attracting negative comments.
Next time, two room. He gets in my nerves too, I am just too polite to mention anything.

Just tell him he snores (doesn’t need to be true) and that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree re the rest.

Yes, you’re right.
He’s only just managed to get in the shower.
Not the best view of Aberdeen unfortunately.

You could really panic him and say you’ve just had a text to say the interview has been brought forward and is now at 9:20am.

I prefer not to be murdered today. He wouldn’t see the funny side of it. He’s got his mothers SOH.

You can tell I don’t have kids, never mind teenage kids.

What's the interview for - medicine (seem to recall something in one of your earlier posts)? Undergrad or house job?

Hi Scot, yes, undergraduate Medicine. Two hours of MMIs. Rather him than me, I suppose that why his SOH is a bit strained today. He had Glasgow last week.

SWMBO was Dep Head of Medicine at Glasgow until she got appointed as Dean of Medicine at Liverpool Uni.
Hope he gets on well at the interview - it's quite an achievement getting to the interview stage these days.

Thanks, I’ll pass on your best wishes and yes, with all the extra hoops would be Medics have to jump through, to make it to the final cut is something. He has an unconditional offer for his plan B - Biomedical, but I just hope he gets his dream. Don’t get the results of the interview until the end of March.

I shared a room with Jack, my eldest in Cheshire, night before a day long interview/assessment for him with Muller.
We were up till 12 working on his presentation, then eventually went to sleep
Woke up at 6am needing the loo, no sign of Jack
Found the bathroom door closed, pushed it open to find him fast asleep on the floor......apparently all down to my snoring
Separate rooms now, and he did get the job Iggy/Ieuan
