Benched in London!

[NickFitz]

My contract was officially due to end this Thursday (the original launch date, now pushed back to next Monday) but, mainly due to us having worked stupid hours over the weekend, it was decided at 7pm last night that I was no longer required.

I thus find myself in London with a hotel room and all the time in the world - an unexpected holiday!

Having slept until 9:30, I shall now amble up to the Tube station and travel down to Covent Garden for a lazy brunch at a little cafe I like. After that, I think I may stroll across the river and have a wander round Tate Modern, or perhaps take a look in the National Gallery.

Then it's back to the hotel to follow up on a potential gig in Cambridge before deciding on a restaurant for dinner

See you later

(P.S. If we hadn't worked the two days over the weekend, then presumably I would have been kept on for the remaining two days... but the weekend time is invoiced at time-and-a-half )

You are Richard Cranium and I claim my five benches.

Hope you punched someone on the way out.

When leaving a contract on short notice

And a 1, 2 ,3

Friends all tried to warn me
But I held my head up high
All the time they warned me
But I only passed them by
They all tried to tell me
But I guess I didn't care
I turned my back and
Left them standing there

All the burning bridges that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door
Burning bridges lost forevermore

Joey tried to help me find a job
A while ago
When I finally got it I didn't want to go
The party Mary gave for me
When I just walked away
Now there's nothing left for me to say

All the burning bridges that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door
Burning bridges lost forevermore

Years have passed and I keep thinking
What a fool I've been
I look back into the past and
Think of way back then
I know that I lost everything I thought that I could win
I guess I should have listened to my friends

All the burning bridges that have fallen after me
All the lonely feelings and the burning memories
Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door
Burning bridges lost forevermore

I'd forgotten just how good the fried bread here is

I might go for a ride on the DLR - I've never been on that one

I wouldn't bother if I were you.

Head to the NG - they've got a very nice (free) alterpiece exhibition. Lots of interesting science stuff about how they work out what goes where.

If you do ride at the very front. They could do the same on the Victoria line as well but they still feel the need to have a driver for reassurance.

Make sure you sit at the front and pretend to drive.

I tried but some gits were nearer the door and beat me to it

I'll go to the terminus and try again

Wonder if Mudchute is as pretty as it sounds?
