I'll probably head down to Torquay or Cornwall for olympic week, and try and avoid radios and TVs
edit: DOH! I just checked, and Stanmore _is_ North London. Must have been thinking of Stanwell Moor, near HeathrowLast edited by OwlHoot; 9 March 2012, 12:47.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

I go to work early, we'll have to see how bad it is, can always WFH if necessary.Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.Comment

What a bunch of miserable kill-joys. Even if you aren't really bothered by sport, the Olympics is a huge spectacle and this is the only time it will be in our native land - might as well buy into it, easier to give in than make yourself angry since it's going to absolutely saturate the entire country for weeks.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
