    Back when I first started working abroad I would get home to a lawn at least 18 inches high. The only thing for it was to buy a rotary petrol driven mower with some oomph. For the first cut or two, I'd push the handle down to that the mower was on its back wheels.

    Rake up, then mow again. Repeat as necessary.

    By the end of a long sunny afternoon I'd have a nice pile of grass cum weeds, most of which was getting nicely dry. At around 7pm I'd light the thing and shove spuds in it.

    Evening meal, some wine, then down to the pub for the last hour or so.

    Back home, usually with some mates, to enjoy the spuds.

    I used to really enjoy that. I'd sleep well too.

        I've been quite busy of late.
        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 Johnson

          Can't say that I'd ever get that excited about cutting the lawn. A big pile of grass and cum and weeds! Dirty bugger! Not to mention what you and your mates get up to with your spuds!
          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!
