      He's a typical agent, he hasn't got a clue!

        I would have thought he would have asked the shopper if he knew of 2 other places selling eggs
        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!

          Problem is, having a reasonably expensive suit is no guarantee of anything. You could, for example, put a Chimpanzee in a decent suit and get much the same effect.................well, as you know.

              One of the reasons the legal types continue with wigs and what-not is so they can discern who the defendant is.

                Why? What have you done wrong?
                Oh, I’m sorry….I seem to be lost. I was looking for the sane side of town. I’d ask you for directions, but I have a feeling you’ve never been there and I’d be wasting my time.

                  I surprised you resorted to the £1 shop.

                  Sainsburys and Asda had lots of cheap easter eggs in.

                    Whatever you do don't buy the 30 for £1 razor blades. They are utterly tulip. I binned mine shortly after trying a couple from the bag. They just hop along the skin without reducing the height of any hairs.

                      He probably thought you were another chav on his way back from his latest court appearance.
