Why do we put ourselves through this tulipe?

Ought to buy a Mac & have done with it...

I'm still trying to get my replacement USB WiFi adaptor to work.

My desktop PC is now being restored from its image for the umpteenth time.

I'm off to bed. The builders will be going <thump> <thump> <thump> <thump> <thump> on our bedroom wall at 08:01 and I want to be awake before that happens.

Well played. That's some good contracting right there.

I thank you

I like to maintain standards

Whilst standing around in the car park, I joked to one of the permies who originally interviewed me that I was only waiting to see if the place burnt down, meaning there was no point coming in in the morning.

He said "But surely, as a professional contractor, you'll turn up even if the building is a smoking ruin?"

"True," I replied; "Even if there's nowhere to work, I'll be there if I can invoice for it!"

He looked quite taken aback. I'm not sure I correctly understood his original point

I'm waiting for the <thump> <thump> <thump> of the builders to say they've arrived.

Morning

Tomorrow we apply the same process to the other barrel of wine.

But not backwards. It's not a palindrome!

This is Scourer's world famous impression of him pretending to be a builder, bashing against the wall of our home:

Morning! <bash!> <bash!> <bash!>

Good morning, Ye Bearer of the Steel Wire Balls. How fares thee?

[RichardCranium]

I was so cross reading about thieving Bliar I hadn't noticed it had begun: <thump> <thump> <thump> <thump> <thump>.

Oh, so predictable.

Hopefully the neighbours will go out again today so we can get some peace.

[RichardCranium]

The <thumping> has stopped. Must be breakfast, or tea-break or fag-break.

Scourer's gone away again. It looks like another day on the trading floor for him.
