    Yeah she is used to me taking a bit longer than the 1.3 seconds you lasted!

    I at least get it out of my pants, she mentioned this fat guy came to the door then looked a bit embarrassed when she said hello, he then ran off grabbing his groin.

    That's why I don't use the whoosh smilie often! The wife calls me slowhand!

    As long as it's not enforced economy travel, and you can fly Business class, I'd probably have a go at it for 300k a year :/ maybe...

    Best one I saw - laptop and mobile phone as a benefit. WTF. You want to give me as a business tool but its a perk. Thank you I can afford my own mobile and lappie.

    If you take it, remember to hand in your username on the way out. And your prefect badge.

    The only perks I've ever had in Permiedom were health insurance, the main effect of which was to flip up my tax code as they tried to recover the BIK, and death in service insurance which does me no good at all.

    That used to be so common .... offering a laptop as a "benefit". It's not like it was your laptop and you could do what you wanted with it!

    As for the mobile phone .... well I doubt they'd be too happy if you were making excessive personal calls on it either!.
