Guess thats why Germany gone down the tubes - all those workers getting paid for sitting in BeerGardens.

I happen to be currently living in a resort town and wokring just 5 mins from the sea - Oh I do like to be beside the seaside !

Very nice.

..... This contract is a holiday.' Remember I already live in a foreign land so its like being on holiday all the time. During the summer it is pretty damn hot here so I can get up, slowly, go into town, sit in a cafe in the centre drinking Eis Cafe watching all the pretty girls go by then off to the Biergarten. Why sit on a beach or look at all the touristy things with loads of other people the same as you?

Wow - they pay you for that? Those crazy Germans.

For some obscure reasons a long weekend in England is turning into a overly long stay.

I think I shall escape in the next day or so and go watch the Tour de France in person, rather than over the net.

if it gets too bad, you could always watch TV

Butlins in Minehead is looking favourite this year.

Contractor - don't do holidays. Let all the permies go on holiday so I can sit around the office with nothing to do and rake it in then take time off and do spontaneous things. My last contract the manager told me to take a holiday otherwise I'd burn out, I replied 'how? Doing what? This contract is a holiday.'

Still reasonably high, but Air Greenland still fly in January so I'm not too bothered!

That sounds so flipping great. 'Oh I was up in greenland for new years and we got snowed in for a week'

brilliant

[Menelaus]

wow. and the chances of getting snowed or iced in are ?....
