WEEKLY FIX PAGES

Here's to silent simon!

With critical Sunday rapidly approaching I thought it would be fitting to offer a toast to those whom we mingle amongst that add so much value to our lives yet never attract the accolades. You know who I'm talking about, the quiet achievers of this world, those that are responsible not for making/generating the major advancements or revelations in life but contribute more valuably by making all the small steps in between. I'm talking about the average joe's; the person who fills the photocopier with A4 so that you never have to work out which tray the darn paper feeds from; those who push the bell just before your bustop ensuring that you don't have to worry about lifting a finger; and those who keep rotating the kegs in the cool room of our local pub so that we can enjoy our non-stop lager/ale fix. We never get to see them, but we appreciate their work. So join me in raising a glass and thanking all the silent Simon's out there. They are really what makes this world go around!!
