Well done matey!

After 8 weeks on the bench (self imposed) I'm glad to be back in the game now.

Cripes, I'm starting to realize how lucky I am to be on the field (? opposite of on the bench) until at least may. Sounds quiet out there now. But fear not, things usually pick up in april.

Ouch!

Well I've had enough of leisure time now, so time to start looking for me on Monday. I hope I'm not on the bench that long though, christ I'll get bottom blisters!

That sounds like one hell of a cruise.

If it weren't for the CUK loonybin I don't think I could stand 16 days.

I've been on the bench for whole days. Not even had a response from the one vacancy I've applied for so far. It's probably a CV trawling teaser fake advert.

He said some c*** with hair like a badger slipped in.

They told me it was the smell of fish they didn't like
