    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!

      I bought £6000 worth of shares in Dixons in 1998. Do you know how much they're worth now?

        Let's see, a house bought in 1998 would be worth double now at least, so £12,000?

                Although technically not an air raid siren, we have tests a couple of times of the year of a siren as there is a rather large chemical company (Merck) here. You can hear it for miles and the first time I heard it I tulip myself: DarmstadtNews.de | Probealarm

                    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                      We live not far for a particular Secure Hospital, they have one of those sirens and others in the villages in the immediate area. They can be heard from a couple of miles off when they test them every month.
