    "On the raft, the situation deteriorated rapidly. Among the provisions were casks of wine instead of water. Fights broke out between the developers and BAs on one hand, and the testers and front line support on the other. "

        "I was immediately forced to suggest descoping the rescue mission. The team had commended me on my documentation but on receipt the rescue ship the HMS Bob was unable to find our location due to some dodgy PL SQL GPS queries I had provided"

            "I was forced to consult the ship's doctor, he provided me with a doctor's note for stress & told me to take a lie down. I cycled to the other end of the raft before knocking up some homebrew of seaweed and bilge water. One of the BA's started to get a bit over friendly, banging on about 1992. I said I wasn't that old and when pressed I wet myself. The systems analyst threw me overboard"

                  "I muttered something unintelligible as I bobbed up and down in the water. The raft & team where now out of site & I became more feverish. I knew that last pint was a badun. I started to become delirious. I dreamt that Tottenham where no longer 3rd in the league & a new fawning lickspittle bedwetter had taken my place on ContractorUK. I could feel my life ebbing away. A warm feeling came through in my groin again and a feeling of trapped wind, I tried to push it out & tulip myself. It was then that I awoke from my dream and realised that I was still at my desk in the office, the stench was awful. I looked up and the offshore team was visiting, Bob shook his head in disgust while Bobina sobbed. Time to find another contract methinks"

                    The programme manager lost all faith in me once my lack of education shone through when I uttered fourth the phrase "For all intense purposes" in one of my weeky status reports. Having to can at least one of their projects to satisfy the stakeholders, my project which involved clip art and jigsaw pieces was shelved saving the company £14.50.

                    I am now busking outside Farnborough East, which I call "The office".
