          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!

                    May I refer the honourable brethren to this fine tome:

                    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Potty-Fartw.../dp/075531655X

                    I actually have it, given to me by a secret santa many years ago.

                    It contains gems such as (randomly picked)

                    Curley Bush

                    Sarah Smallass

                    Lotta Rump

                    Gentle Fudge

                    Al Dente

                    Holly Berry

                    Susanna Smelly

                    William Sodoff

                    Names derived from the C-word cover a good two pages!
