As we were driving through the city, we passed a car on the other side.

The car following it was flashing it up.

I did the same.

It had no lights on.

We were going under the railway station at the time where there is little light and so it could hardly be seen.

It was a police traffic car.

I accept the Private Eye spelling "Grauniad" as the definitive version.

So do they, it seems

You've just reminded of a story from my bother-in-law. When his kids were toddlers he didn't worry about where the went or what they saw in the house.

One day he takes me to one side and whispers:

"If you do have kids, don't let them watch you dress. Junior asked 'wossat?' and before I could react he reached up, grabbed my scrotum and pulled it down to his eye level. Sadly, I went upwards toward the ceiling which did not help matters."

DD1 said to me at the weekend as I was getting ready for bed "You've got a willy, daddy".

I said "Yes, I know"

She then proceeded to have a fit of the giggles for ages, just laughing and occasionally saying "willy".

She's not the first female to laugh at my genitalia.

Do you really expect us to believe that?

I feel that I almost earned my daily rate today. I don't think I'll ever do enough work to make me think "yes, I really did earn that money today"

I've had that feeling.

Being involved in supplier management makes it possible.

Cancelling an 8 days-a-week on-site consultancy contract (that was 4 bodies, two days each, every week) out of sheer bloody-mindedness because one of them upset me saved my client about £102K. That felt good.

"You can't do that!"
"I can and I did. Goodbye."

I can't be bothered giving the details in writing (it's a 2 pint story) but it WAS the right decision and nobody else had the experience to see it or the balls to make it.


Negotiating a load of free software in exchange for the purchase of some hardware to get a project re-started was a big win. In one 3 hour meeting I paid for my entire 15 month contract 3 times over. That felt good.

(The bit I shouldn't mention is that took months of planning, preparation and research.)

Indeed.

Thanks for the hint

That was not an instruction!!!

That's more expensive than some cars I've bought

But what do you spend more time in shoes or cars.



Like the buy a really good pair of shoes and bed saying. Technically if you're a porn star and get *****d in the bed wearing shoes then you're getting extreme value for money there.

Bloody newbies! I hate the lot of them!

According to Sawn, since you've not been here 2 years ... you're one too!

Electrician?

Did I imagine that you were getting an electrician in today?

No - he did say he was seeing an electrician.

For just 78 seconds of you time in a post office raid you too could keep 5 contractors off the streets.
