The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.” -

Originally posted by To BI or not to BI?Everybody knows that the combination of socks and washing machines creates a disturbance in the space-time relationship, with consequent openings of wormholes, the disappearance of (usually) one sock for each pair you put in and the occasional ticklish feeling to the back of your head (or is it just me?)The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

Originally posted by BagpussIt seems reasonable, but raises the question, do these parallel universe theives have one leg, or is it just fashionable to wear odd socks, or possibly it's all part of a blackmail plot?Carpe Pactum

I'd say that you were best out of it. I would never work for them again. Glad I'm out of it.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1!Comment

SallyAnne: nearly all telecoms is like that now. When I were a lad, telecoms was a proper engineering job with guys who had beards wore tanktops and sandals. Who knew how to joint a 1000 quad cable, smoke a pipe and listen to the cricket on radio 4 whilst discussing the finer points of todays page 3 girl, all at the same time. Now it is full of spotty hair gelled monkies who would find fitting a wall socket a challenge, if they knew what one was.
I always ask for a much higher rate on telecoms jobs, 'cause they invariably are an utter pain in the arris.Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.
