    Very much job jobbed, and one of those rare occasions where you get to see something from start to finish.

    What's the market looking like? I'm getting a lot of emails from pimps with comedy day rates.
    You are just trying to entice MF back aren't you?

    General Melchett: You look surprised, Blackadder.
    Captain Blackadder: I certainly am, sir. I didn't realise we had any battle plans.
    General Melchett: Well, of course we have! How else do you think the battles are directed?
    Captain Blackadder: Our battles are directed, sir?
    General Melchett: Well, of course they are, Blackadder, directed according to the Grand Plan.
    Captain Blackadder: Would that be the plan to continue with total slaughter until everyone's dead except Field Marshal Haig, Lady Haig and their tortoise, Alan?
    General Melchett: Great Scott! Even you know it!

    Yes I am getting kicked out after finishing my tasks. It's really strange here, they only want to pay you when you have stuff to do.
