    Isn't circumventing the profanity filter a bannable offense?

      I used to reward myself with a new suit each time. That's right, I dressed to impress when I contracted.

      Now my wardrobe looks like a rack at Burtons with sizes all they way up for somebody no longer my size.

          I bought a set of these once to celebrate an extension. Although I probably would have bought them anyway because they are beautiful!

            No.

            If your contract gets canned early, are you going to smash the reward that you've bought?

              I do
              because an extension is like a pay rise because you don't have to spend bench time looking for a job.

              I normally splash out on an extra big piece of stinky blue cheese to go with my cheese and crackers, as opposed to a normal sized piece

                That monitor looks very nice. 2 reviews on Amazon, a 5* and a 1*, what to make of that

                  To answer the question - yes, I have a LOT of handbags, and shoes
                  I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this
