Just how long is 'The Bench'?

[PinkPoshRat]

I have just taken the measurements of my rump - 40cm

I did have a larger rump when I first took my seat on this bench, so when we calculate the length on the bench we will have to factor in 'shrinkage'.

This is a bit like earned value management in reverse!!!!

You've been there waaaay to long

He's now actually sleeping on it. I mean, take a look at his updated photo!

yup I'm on the bench too - cold innit?

Was hoping to do something productive, not got around to it yet due to distractions from OH (arguments - which are very demotivating - looks like separation and Divorce are going to be on the cards for this year).

I want to find a plan B - was looking at Oliver Goehler Ebay Auktion Kommando stuff - has anyone tried it?

In the meantime I am selling shares, ISAs, PEPs and other investment funds to pay our way and was trying to do 08/09 Tax Return - I missed the 30 Dec deadline (to have any tax payment collected through next years PAYE) due to not having all dividend statements to hand - there is one fund which I had lost touch with having not notified them of a change of address 6 years ago and now I have 6 years worth of trust accumulations to 'declare' so that will make my tax bill bigger just at the time when I can't afford to pay it as the warchest is not only depleted but we have debts now.

Still, I'm hoping I won't be benched for long - permie jobs are on option now as well.

I'm happy to say I have vacated my place on the bench now.

Bravo that man!

I have been whittling at my part of the bench - FiveTimes sat 'ere

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

How so?... It tasted good to start with, then became a real pain in the ass afterwards? (a fiery hot one at that)

This after-the-fact realisation that outsourcing wasn't such a good idea should be dubbed 'Vindaloo Syndrome' or something

Where! Where have you done this? Bloody vandal! I will have to get the filler out and redo that whole section of the bench.

Take note FiveTimes of the condition MPwannadecentincome left his spot in. Decent fellow. Hope he has many a benchless year.

Eh? That doesn't make sense. If MPwannadecentincome leaves the bench in good nick, and 5* has previous for unauthorised wittling, then surely you should wish 5* gigs and MPwannadecentincome remain benched?

I couldn't be that cruel or selfish.
