Homemade sandwiches FFS?!!!!
Which 2-bit tulip-hole firms do you lot work for that don't have attached restaurants (and no I don't mean crappy "canteens ") with good chefs to provide excellent 3 course meals at lunch time?
And if you don't have that there must be some decent restaurants around unless you live in some tulip-hole area.
Sandwiches, my arse.Hard Brexit now!

He should give up work, he'd be loaded.Originally posted by jmo21 View PostA manager in an old workplace of mine always seemed the same, mega tight, I eventually found out he had 6 kids and that was the reason he was so skint.
Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

what, because I love cheese so much? I am only as God made me.Originally posted by Tingles View PostThis post disturbs me.
For clarity, "spunking a pony" is merely Londonese for "frivolously spending £25". I really can't imagine what you all thought it meant.
Standard contractor economics. If you're filling in hourly timesheets, you want to get back to billing ASAP.Originally posted by sasguru View PostHomemade sandwiches FFS?!!!!
On £50/hour, spend your lunch hour at the local steakhouse and you're down the price of 1 steak. Spend it eating a sandwich for 15 minutes and working for 45, and you're up the price of 2 steaks.Comment

Aaah yes the bap jokes and references are a plenty round at ours.

I was wondering the other day about the origin of the phrases grand, monkey, score and so on. Although I am from London, I've always thought pony meant crap (pony and trap).Originally posted by thunderlizard View PostFor clarity, "spunking a pony" is merely Londonese for "frivolously spending £25". I really can't imagine what you all thought it meant.
Anyway, the best that google can turn up is that grand is actually an Americanism that was introduced during WWII and monkey allegedly comes from an old 500 rupee banknote that had a picture of a monkey on.
I also learned that Ridley Scott directed the hovis advert. It's brilliant this internet thing.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment
