    Only went to stockley twice. So were you on the GSN project? What did you do? I made a mint out of selling their smoking patches. I could get them for 4.79 and Tesco sold them for 17
    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!

      Vintners Place in London has a swimming pool and a gym. Some afternoons when you are tired its brilliant to just pop down and sit in the steam room for a while.

                  Communal spaghetti at lunch time.

                  Big table, monster big bowl of spaghetti in the middle. Everyone turns up at the same time and tucks in.

                  Weird bunch that lot.

                      Beer, wine, strawberries, biscuits, crisps, frisbees, games of rounders - although this wasn't in the office; once a month the team used to head down to St James' Park for the afternoon

                      In the office we had this tool for enforcing coding standards, though
