          It also offers the opportunity to have a little nap using a spare loo roll as a pillow.

          I once got phoned by a PM while sat on the throne, I answered it and said "you can't phone me when I'm having a tulip" although actually I was playing chess on my phone.
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            It seems that hand tools generally are neglected, power tools get all the attention. Bit of a shame really although I do find gear hobbing machines quite hypnotic to watch. Most CNC machines as well actually.

                  I used to do that when I first went back to work after having baby. Might start doing it again.

                    Back in my permie days as a support bod, I used to take the occasional nap in the server room.
