    Tip: the fuel hose is long enough to reach over the car. Most cars these days are foreign and have filler caps on the right (except Japanese cars).
    simply fill up at the usually empty left hand side pumps.
    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.”

      I know driving a tanker full of petrol is dangerous, but £41k for a lorry driver seems a bit steep to me.
      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!

          Hmmm

          My two AMCs are American but have the filler on the left.
          My Chevy is American and has the filler on the left (behind the rear light actually)
          My Impreza (Jap car) had the filler on the right.

          I think I detect bulltulip here

                What do you disagree with? The fact that people were queing up for a pump on the filler side at the last fuel protest (circa 2000), because I can assure you most were.

                Or the fact that most filler caps are now on the drivers side (the wrong side!)

                  I disagree with almost everything you post. You know **** all about anything. To make matters worse, you try and sound authoritative which makes you out to be an even bigger tit when you're proven wrong.

                  Next question.

                    Well sir you are wrong, Watch at any petrol station, people will queue up for a filler side pump even if other pumps are empty. Perhaps you don't pay attention.

                    Anyway, you just disagree because you are bolshy sh1t, if I didn't know better I'd think you had permanent PMT. But we have come to love your attention seeking ways.

                      That's what I was thinking. Don't think they'll get much sympathy for turning down an offer that brings their pay to 41k for driving around and sitting in traffic.

                      It's not far off what I would get as a permie doing this ridiculous IT crap in an office of freaks.

                      Worth considering as an alternative when the contracts dry up. Im not reskilling in some other IT discipline when mine goes tits up, bugger this shyte.

                      Rubber Duck 10-4 etc.



                      What are the barriers to entry sock puppet?
