    Probably would be to be honest, I never did it. I never needed to go to the doctor whilst I was at that client and have not been to the dentist in years. My chiropractor has late evening appointments so I winged that one.

      Sometimes I think I'd actually prefer a gig that was only 3 days a week or something. Better to have half decent money for 3 days than work your nuts off and kill yourself doing 5 days.

      I actually did that in Swansea purely for the free prescriptions! Had to claw something back because despite stocking up with plastic bags in England I always left them in the car and bam - another 5p down the drain....

        Dr NLUK says this appears to be a severe case of YANCOTBAC and prescribes either a large dose of 'grow some' or a course of 'get a permie job'

              Don't need a picture. I know if it is anyway related to size of your cojones it is tiny and no cure for that I am afraid. Sorry

                    I used to commute from Poole to Wimbledon, via Waterloo everyday.

                    3 hours door to door each way -
                    Up at 5:00am, home by 9:00. Used to stay in a B&B 5 minute walk away for the first 6 months of the contract, but the demands of the wife meant I had to come back to Poole to do that killer commute everyday.

                    A broken man I was. Now I ditched her and have a permanent place in London and life is good again!

                      That is nuts....

                      Seriously, the Mrs made you come home every night? Sod that. I would have told her if she was that bothered to get on the train and stay in the B&B in Poole with me.

                      Mind you. Depends what was on offer from the Mrs for the 3 hr trek home. I would have expected some great services provided every night in exchange :-)

                      (Mind you might be too knackered after 6 hours travelling a day!)
