I think not.
I'd just play games and post on here all day and steal the stationery.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment

Probably not. I am just waiting to be found out as a fraud, I'm sure I should be on the check out at Tesco. Although I did get sacked from Morrisons after two shifts on the till many moons ago, so perhaps not.Originally posted by EternalOptimist View PostImagine you were interviewing for a role, and one of the applicants was yourself.
Well, nobody knows you better than you do, so would you employ yourself ?

Nor, you can't make a cuppa? That both shocks and saddens me. Don't reboil water (EVER), pour as soon as boiled, only use Yorkshire Tea, and if using bags, give them chance to make friends with the water for a while, without interfering. Add milk and Voila.Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

I only drink Barry's tea and Mr Norr makes a great cuppa, so He always makes them for me.Originally posted by MaryPoppins View PostNor, you can't make a cuppa? That both shocks and saddens me.

I can make a decent cuppa, but I prefer his.Comment

That's in the recipe for practically anything. Pasta? Don't stir it. Barbecue? Don't turn it too soon, it'll only stick. Rarely does interfering help.Originally posted by MaryPoppins View PostDon't reboil water (EVER), pour as soon as boiled, only use Yorkshire Tea, and if using bags, give them chance to make friends with the water for a while, without interfering.
