    When I worked in Den Haag briefly in 2000/2001, one of the English guys was given a leaving pressie on his last day. He opened it amongst a throng of fellow workmates to find it was a plastic vagina. To much merriment he responded "That's nice............Two Lips from Amsterdam!"
    Boom boom!!

    They've found three people, who all turned them down, now they've found another one who wants 80k per year, they made him an offer last week and he hasn't called back.

    Not really my problem.

    Mind you, I could manage a very athletic sprint to the touchline, hurdle the fence, sidestep the fat bloke at the clubhouse door and swerve to the bar for a quick pint while the rest get the tulip kicked out of them.
    I like the cut of your jib!
