      Or just live in the supermarket bin. Just remember to set your alarm to wake you before the binwagon turns up!
      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!

        Was there anything significant about yesterday?

        Some planetary alignment?
        Change in the atmosphere?


        M3 fooked all day because of two accidents
        M4 fooked London bound because of rubber necking a Westbound accident & everyone using it to get around the M3 problem
        M25 fooked & 3 lanes shut because some idiot decided to drive his or her car on its roof at junction 8 turn off
        Dived off at the M25 @ J10 A3 to avoid the delays and fook me there was a multiple pile up on the A3 London bound

        WTF was going on yesterday?

        How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

            I once worked at MOD site where someone camped in the grounds. Took them 6 months to find him! Proves how seriously they took security.

              friend of mine is a kitchen fitter and he more or less lives in his van all week, little bed built in the back, flat panel TV cooker, van heater, its no different to being a lorry driver sleeping in their cab and its your own space and you can wake up to a different car park every morning

                  OK then, but in Chef terms, it's like someone incorerctly describing sparkling wine as Champagne.

                    What about shaving and not ponging after a few days? Electric shaver and plenty of deodorant?

                      I doubt it's a problem for him. Working class people often smell.
