My ex once changed the safe word without telling me.

That's how to make a safeword.

So, "ouchouchouch" is invalid, but "Ouch!69" is OK.

Don't worry, many MP's have been through far worse, usually, also, involving a soft fruit.

Osborne's eyes bulge, also .

Finished my expenses anyway, bonus!

I hope you charge extra for that.

Looks like the boss might have it in for yer, trying to smear your name, snake in the grass, watch him

Depends on what you want to be. A rebel / Moral guard? or a "team player" ?

Wait until the expenses are done.
In fact it will probably work out best for the project, if no one turns up for the meeting

HTH.
