    and quick if you are already falling!
    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!

      Due to an IT cockup 18 years ago, I have two different driving licences under two different driver IDs with two different addresses. One is almost up to full points now.


      At least that's what I tell the idiots who serve up the kind of bobbins the OP experiences, and they usually believe me too ...

        Once upon a time I got stopped for looking too young to drive that kind of car.

        Another time got stopped for slowing down because I knew there was a zebra crossing over the crest of the hill and it was school emptying time, so there would be children crossing, which they were.
        Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

          Is it the 'Go Ape' thing? Did that once and it was good fun. Would do it again. The harnesses do most unflattering things to the men - take a camera!

          Just been gatsoed for first time - 35 in a 30, so have been offered 'speed awareness' course - which is actually more expensive than the fine, but at least I won't get points...

              I got the dreaded double flash at the end of Sheffield Parkway overtaking a nutter who couldn't decide what lane to be in. So I zipped past cut back in front and prayed the second flash didn't get me.

              It did, 47mph in a 40.....

              They let me off tho, dunno why, maybe the second flash wasn't good enough for court....

                I just love that. Never heard it before, and literally spilled my pint. Off to get a tea towel.

                Can I use it? I love baby talk above profanity.

                Terms and conditions of use - Some times profanity will only do though. Wurzel will find out when he cuts his skirting with a coping saw.

                  Nah. A similar sort of thing though. Do the course, bet it's hilarious.

                    I always use that word when profanity isn't an option. Take it, it's yours.
