    Would that be a reference to any one of the marvellous selection of Badger Ales?

    I must admit to being very fond of their output (except for that that bloody awful Wotnot Fly, the ginger flavoured one).

      A poor confused kid desperately trying to big himself up because he doesn't know what he is.

      It's not just odd, it's sad. You'd have thought that since it's been 30 or so years since "Glad to be Gay" was in the charts that things would have got easier for such kids.

      Especially since it seems anything goes these days with that generation.
      To be perfectly honest, I found it amusing at first, and ignored is first fag! jab at me.
      Problem was, Bumfluff jumped to my defence and got rather riled, so I had to step in and do a little calming and mild retaliation to reduce collateral damage

        Typing - poor pay.
        Articles - for magazines and the like, does not pay at all well.
        Reviews - difficult to get the work.
        Reporting - typically requires qualifications to get poorly paid work.

        Sadly, there's a lot of people bidding for that kind of work.

        TPD?

        In that case, writing articles will bring in a few quid.

          I don't think it's the money so much, my son in law has a very lucrative business and they own a few BTL's as well. I think she just wants to do something and get paid for it to make it more interesting

            and now ferret's involved too.

            I'm not sure it would have ever occurred to me to jump to your defence. If I was there and saw you being attacked, I think I'd just make myself comfy and wait for the dust to settle!

              For all my involvement in conflict over the years, I still believe the pen to be mightier than the sword

                In that case, she could consider working for AQA.

                My wife did that for a few months. They money ain't great but the questions are hilarious!

                You sit at home at your PC and the questions come up in a web page. You look up the answers online, copy 'n' paste them in and they get texted back to the questioner.

                You get a few pennies per question but the questions the kids come up with have to be seen to be believed. Absolutely shocking!

                    Having sent a PM to someone who needed one; done a good deed; offered to buy a complete stranger a few beers and finished a bottle of pink champagne, I think I shall go to bed.

                    Microwaved curry meals and pink champagne to wash it down! Who'd be a permie, eh?

                    Not a bad evening at all at home on CUK.

                    And why did we have pink champagne in the house? Because I'm a contractor pulling in a few grand EVERY WEEK.

                    By God, it's great being off the bench!
