      Do we really want to get too comfortable?

        After 5 months on the beach last summer, don't believe I will be going there this year.

        2009 was really the first serious time I was without work since 1986.

        Been three months at a LTSB and they actually honoured the 3-month rate review I requested at the initial negotiation - they've gone up 14% and I expect them to go another 11 in the next 48 hours or so.

        Seems this whole Indian thing has not quite worked out for them as planned

            Actually could put together some long and interesting threads on that subject!

                  Well, we just need to get the number of people and multiply by two cheeks to get an approximation of how much varnish needed.

                    The bit under my arse is polished just fine, thanks. Here, with my beer chiller, cushions, foot-warmer, under the shelter and out of the wind.
