    What, being on the bench?

    Certainly not the first time in 17 years or so.

    As stated in my first post, I haven't been doing anything about it, no shame there whatsoever

      Possibly so.

      Although that particular one isn't totally dead in the water yet

      Still, I now have a viable alternative as a man of leisure, seeing as the Mrs is sorted with a new contract

        What sort of roles are you applying for, and are the rates comparable worldwide?

        Servicing sheep may get you high rates in the Home Counties, but it's a saturated market in Unzed.

            When stating a rate, it's important to know what you're up against.

              That's it career over. You're fecked. Time to call it a day & potter around the garden, posting crap about your travels which you'll never take.

                    Why aren't you finding us interesting news stories to read like poo girl?

                    You are on the bench after all.

                    As I said you are a lazy fecker!
