    The telly here defaults to showing one not television, but an enticement to pay for "all services" for a fairly minimal sum (£19.99) - the enticement being that this will apear on one's bill as "Communication Services"

    I'm tempted to go down to Reception and ask very loudly if the "Adult" content can be shown on my bill as "Pot Noodle and a wank Services"

    FFS... just to go with the swanky room, you understand - let's see if the naughtiness RegExp copes with that

      swanky room, obviously - as in "s" followed by "wink" followed by "y"

      You see what I mean... [looks for :headinhands: smiley]

        Sorry, false alarm

        My final note of the day: I've been quite surprised by the number of erstwhile (it means "former", to save you the trouble of looking it up) colleagues who've asked "When did you leave Yahoo?" or "How come I haven't seen you in the office this week?"

        They then ask where I'm working now

        When I explain that, for the past eleven months, I've spent four nights a week in a Premier Inn , they all say "WHAT??!!!?" and look utterly gobsmacked -> like that

        When I then add that I shall be staying at home and going absolutely nowhere, they all say "I'm not surprised!"

        Clearly not contractor material

          OH NO!


          Apparently I have one unread message at the Halifax - and they sent the email twice so it must be important

          Oh hang on, I don't have any accounts with them...

          Surely it can't be the case that somebody is trying to use the Internet to deceive me

                  They're knocking the Civic Centre down today.

                  It won an award in 1966.

                  Good riddance.
