      Next best thing, he's doing a peer review.

        Valid response, certainly better than mine.

        Don't forget to add standard contract terms and conditions and a place for signature, date and witnesses to sign it off.
        What about a substitution clause?

          On the one hand Brillo, statutory congrats are in order. On the other, I think you must be barking. No offence.

                I wouldn't guarentee he even heard that. After a while you get to know the cadence of the other person when they are talking and automatically insert appropriate but non commital noises at the right points. Once you get into the rythym it takes very little effort at all. Comes in very handy when watching the Footie/F1/Rugby/Other Televised Event of your choosing.

                As long as you keep an ear out for suspicious noises like "Are you actually listening to me?" and respond appropriately "Yes darling, of course I am. Any chance of a cuppa?" you'll be fine.
