    I did some work in Bristol for Unilever back in the mid 90's when I was consulting for a software house. There was a fridge in the office with Magnums in, and you could help your self if you wanted one I liked that client

    Almost as good as when I did some work for Sharwoods and they gave me jars of curry

    Didn't get anything off Aston Martin, the tight @rses
    I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter man

      Snap, I was at Unilever in the early '00's in London, Magnums and Ben & Jerry's in the freezers in the office, plus a box of other products for a fiver every couple of months.

        I must have been there pre Ben and Jerrys as I don't recall that being an option ..... Edit, just googled and spotted Unilever acquired them in 2000, so yes after I did my stint in Bristol.

        Those were good days

          And it just goes to show that a big company like Unilever place quite a premium on the work performed even by employees as far down the corporate food chain as their security guards.

            If only the NAAFI took the same enlighted view, you wouldn't be tortured by your fantasies of military service.

                Right on cue we have the High Rectum of the Faith Militant with yet another witless pronouncement.

                Have a look and see if you can find an App that might at least help you inject some humour into your tediously dull outpourings.

                Devoid of any originality or subtlety, your rather prodigious mutterings are currently the very epitome of banal.

                  Don't be so hard on yourself. As Alexei says, you did your best. I'm sure someone somewhere must be proud of you.
