Birthday wishes

I sent the last of the Evil Mag Of Doom today and gave the editor in chief the Five-Point Plan for Seizing Control, of which one point is negotiable and the rest will need to be met or I will just run away and do something less exhausting.
The nice thing was everyone else saying what a dream production it had been. Alas, it has come at the expense of my sanity and ability to speak English. My Italian is doomed.
Due to aforementioned exhaustion, I am unable to properly send felicitations on the anniversary of the birth of three of the loveliest flistees in the world:
marguerite_26 ,
acromantular and
phoenixacid .
Instead, I share with you a great truth. When people are being complete gibbons and common decency seems lost: I plaster a polite expression on my face and sing this song quietly inside my head. It has helped, every time, and I hope it will help each of you should you ever need it.
(On the rare occasions the lunacy cannot be overcome, I find flinging one's arms in the air and doing an Animal impersonation works admirably.)

If you can sing that song in your head without at *least* bopping a long a little as well, then you're a stronger woman than most, and entirely deserving of All The Control!

Love the interchange at the end
Question is, what does Manamanah mean - no, question is who cares, this will be infinitely useful at work!
