      Real contractors have done their days work by 11am and are working on plan b and posting on cuk the rest of the day and being paid handsomely doing it.

          Again, not really. I am complimented for my straight talking. I have had to lay it on the line for some senior mngmt types and this has involved so fairly robust and frank discussions.
          Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

            I wonder how many of those were served by suity?
            Yeah, I'm somewhere in that league probably slightly higher, the problem of having a Starbucks in the actual office.

            Not having time to post just means that you aren't managing your time properly Suity.
            Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

              I worked out that nuova simonelli oscar would pay for itself in three months. Of course this leads one to the conclusion that a la cimbali M21 is actually good value, but it's difficult to persuade ms doodab when it needs it's own plumbing.
              While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                I do remember another poster started a thread like this. The less said about them the better.

                  I don't trust people who drink latte's.
                  Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

                      Why not? I'm about 99% powered by them.
