Anyone and everyone who are humans has a soft spot for morbidly obese people

Yes, many people have a soft spot for watching documentaries of emergency rescue teams struggling to carry morbidly obese people down flights of stairs on stretchers.

The security guards/receptionist is probably grateful for the company.

(I was going to say janitor but realised that we weren't still in the 1970's...)

or in the USA

30 minutes later, I'm in a large quiet open plan office sponsored by the local council, key pass, free coffee machines, free stationary, free printers, two meetings rooms, large monitors & keyboards if required for just £10 per day. As I came down at lunchtime, they've only charged me £5!!!! for today.

I'm also the only person here! Is this normal, seems rather cheap to me.

Which town, out of curiosity?

I have a key to a council-owned reading room in Dulverton, should I ever need to hot desk.

(although technically that is in Somerset)

So headed down to Devon

You are probably still getting that discount for being on the Devon Vulnerable Adults Register. Best keep shtoom and only inform them you have "made progress" once you get north of Taunton again.

HTH

I was going to PM you to see if you fancied lunch tomorrow. I won't bother now - I doubt that even my scintillating company is worth a 400 mile round trip.

At least you won't go hungry now as he would have gobbled up your salad after making his deep fried pizza (with large chips) disappear in double quick time

So headed down to Devon with kids, dog, wife in tow to visit my elderly mother for Xmas and her 80th Birthday in a couple of days.

I hope you flew first class?

There is no way this place makes any money.

Here is the clue "I'm in a large quiet open plan office sponsored by the local council".

They don't have to.

How much is someone willing to bid on 12 monitors and 6 mince pies?

Does it mean you have already eaten 6 pies?

Heading down that way on Wednesday. Dog + The Wife (tm) in tow. Going to visit mad mother in law.


Have told The Wife (tm) that I am off over Christmas.


Told ClientCo that I am available for work and they just need to call me.

I've counted just 8 spaces in this rooms and 4 next door excluding the meeting rooms. That's 120 quid a day?!?! I've been told that normally there is a full-time receptionist here. There is no way this place makes any money.

They've also said I can pay at the end of the week once I've finished. They haven't even taken my details beyond my mobile number.
