    Last time I was on the bench it ended up with me getting a restraining order to keep away from the parks.

    I won’t worry about the bills when I get a new gig, its funny how I only economise when my income is under threat.

    I’d better ring the wife to stop her cancelling sky sports!

    I have not been on the bench since I was an employee and sitting on the bench on salary is not so bad

    Am currently on bench (fairly long term - 3 months) but the initial bench attraction has worn thin and I'm resolutely determined to be off it in the next four weeks.
