      Roast the goose, pan fry the duck breasts, confit the legs and make a paté with the rest.

        When my son was little he obviously didn't get the whole day night thing for a long time due to his blindness. His gran told him that he should only get up when he hears the birds. Fine in the winter but in the summer we were woken by him at 4:30 too many time.

        We have a load of birds that sit in the tree outside our house and sh1t on my car. I don't notice any on the road when the car is not there, only ever on the car. lately it looks like somebody has been squeezing them to ensure the max sh1tload gets dumped (literally) onto my car. When I find the bird I'm going to nail it to a plank and sh1t on 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!

          Sat (sorry, stood) on train this morning to clientco, muttering to self.
          Yeah, happens to me all the time, I left the MSE algorithm running just the other day - you can imagine my surprise when I got home...

            We have a load of birds that sit in the tree outside our house and tulip on my car. I don't notice any on the road when the car is not there, only ever on the car. lately it looks like somebody has been squeezing them to ensure the max tulipload gets dumped (literally) onto my car.

            I think that'd be one of the good things about being able to fly - crapping on pigeons.

                  Two years ago Mrs Numpty bought a sweat shirt. It says:

                  Some mornings I wake up grumpy.




                  But usually I just let him sleep.

                      Hmmm, perhaps I should buy that for you...
