          No. But it means your chance of being sacked by a grumpy, anti-social, miserable, short-tempered, probably-pointy-haired-boss for being caught posting on CUK is very, very small.

          Not that anyone would sack someone for posting on CUK, would they ... ?

            I've told this story before but...


            Many years ago, at my first job at a software house, I pinned a packet of Rizlas to the kitchen noticeboard and labelled it "Program Spec Forms. Please Help Yourself."

            A little while later I returned and saw someone had crossed out "Program" and written "System".

            And most of the fag papers had been taken.

              Yeah before all these new-fangled health warnings took up the space. Now you've only got room for the Phase 1 spec.

                Well when you lot all posting away tonight I'm off for a curry with a group of people I got into contracting over the years.

                Obviously I don't expect to
                pay but in a group of 5 contractors on £500 per day it will be interesting to see who puts their hand in their pocket last!

                    Do have a lovely evening at the chip shop, although I hadn't realised it was your shift again

                      Other people have 'friends'.

                      And maybe that's why you don't.

                      You need some soft skills, matey boy.
