Don't forget Diagnosis Murder!Originally posted by minestrone View PostI'm now on 6 months in a year, bloody brilliant. I now have an encyclopaedic knowledge of murder she wrote and quincy.
I might do a 9 month stint this time that will take me up to the end of April, my 6 months have become out of step with the summer.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.”Comment

You aren't meant to just watch daytime telly though are you?
Treat it like a hol for a few weeks then gradually start to implement plan Bs and do some dev projects to keep you sharp and add strings to your bow.
Just as you start to get into this you can guarantee that a gig will come along and you'll never finish it.Comment

It's a conspiracy I tell you
I've learnt to accept that the market is what is is and enjoy the time off.Comment
