    Rough.

    Like a badger's arse.

      I can't remember if I did get to bang her senseless later, but I would assume that I did.

      Must have been some time in spring 1992 after the clocks had gone forward.

      Or was it a Saturday?


      We have seen one like that - the toilet cistern had broken and leaked water resulting in an overwhelming damp and rotten smell all through the house. The residents had clearly made no effort to clear anything up. The whole place was a dump. At least most people make more of an effort than that!

      I think we both felt sick from the various odours after leaving that one.

        Yes. The way some people live is incredible.

        As I well remember from the dim & distant past when I used to fix tellies for what passed for a living.

        Sticky carpets.

        Uchafi.

            25 minutes wasted on a phone interview which turned out to be a completely different role to the one I'd been briefed.

            At least I clicked with the interviewer and he might need someone with my skillset soonish, but the immediate contract is a washout.

              Least it wasn't a 100% waste of time just a 98% one.

                  Sausages (2) in wholemeal bap for lunch

                  Got asked to do something which was tedious but not challenging - the worst combination. Luckily, after a couple of minutes looking into it, I realised I’d abstracted away what was needed into a general solution about a year ago, so it took minimal time and effort to sort it out

                    Hot pork and wholegrain mustard. And yet another glass of water. Might need a piss at some point this afternoon.

                      Showoff.

                      I hope you've hidden somewhere to fester for a while so they think it's really really really difficult.

                      Otherwise: rooky mistake.

                      We seem to have "lost" an esteemed customer, hopefully not "permanently" if you get my drift.
