I worked on a contract 18 months ago that was seriously 'international' - workers from everywhere in the EU and a few from further beyond.

A very entertaining French guy in his mid-30s used to regale us all with his 'wh0res around the world' stories everynight....including the local 'soappy massages' he's enjoyed on his current contract....

Reminds me of Amsterdam when my jocko mate asked the Thai girl for a soapy massage, in a broad paisley accent ‘soppiemassage’ what he got was some soap up his arse

I've seen Xoggy dance circa 2005, quite energetic I have to say.

That too. I used to claim it on my expenses but don't tell HMRC.

I used to like staying in a new place in the week and used to get to know a few people at the local pub or, ahem, meet a few ladies at discos. Must be awful not having the chance to meet anyone outside of work.

Yeh. Or was it 1895?

I doubt many people are working away from home at the moment

Must be some where working from home is not an option due to security. I had a few contracts in defence.

Nah, that's where he used to find them.
