Agent wants to go for a pint, worth going?
The agent who got me the current (2 month) gig is going for a pint with the Clientco manager who is the client contact for my role, and has invited me along. I've barely spoken to the manager in question due to the nature of my role and I have much better things to do with my spare time than...- Robster

MP's That You Respect
The only one I can think of (an ex-MP since may) is George Galloway, purely because he's a straight talker who says what he thinks and doesn't take tulip off anyone, even the US Senate. PS MPs is plural, so your possessive apostrophe is not needed.- Robster

Glastonbury 2011
I've been to Glasto 5 times, the last time was 2008. I've always enjoyed it, and I only didn't go this year because a friend got married that weekend, but I'm coming to the conclusion that its a bit of a rip off. I went to a couple of smaller festivals this year, and actually had more fun... -

Fickle clientco
In this case I don't think anyone was being dishonest, neither of the people telling me they intended to renew - manager of the team I was working with, and HR minion - were the the ones making the decision. Yes I am, I think there was an element of head in sand involved You're pretty spot...- Robster

Fickle clientco
I've just come to the end of my first contract role (3 years 3 months) for a global outsourcer based in Aldershot. They had signalled their intention to renew in July, and informed me this was still the case a couple of times since. After being told last week that they still intended to renew...- Robster

An Englishman, Irishman and A Scotsman
....walk in to a pub. "Why does the welshman never join in our jokes" said the scotsman. "because he's already in the pub" said the englishman "Hello boyo" said the welshman from the other side of the pub, and took no further part in the joke -

Motorists face £250-a-year tax to park at work
I love the way this (and many other) article is written as if they are cleverly uncovering some kind of secret. Despite what one minister said about ending "the war on motorists" (I wasn't aware one had been declared in the first place) as far as I know its within the remit of councils, not... -

The classic example of this is when you get scissors packaged this way. "If i only had a pair of scissors I could open this packet" -

The little things that annoy you
When cycling, car drivers who overtake me then stop in front of me to turn right/pop in the shop/beat their children When driving, cyclists who can't make up their mind if they are cycling on the pavement or road, or otherwise don't follow the rules. When going by bus, traffic caused by people...
