Yes - An oppo who I travelled out with was approaching Passport Control in Jeddah when he went white as a sheet and whispered "Tulip!! I think I've bought the wrong passport!!!!........"Originally posted by Zippy View PostI think that little problem gives you one of the few legitimate reasons for having two passports.
Seems a bit of a hassle just for a bacon butty though.

Fortunately (for him) he was wrong and he did have the right one.......

Lucky sod. Here in Holland all the big companies are using Sodexho, Eurest or Albron with their bloody condescending ‘healthy choice’ selections, including half fat yoghurt, fruit salads, muesli bars etc. Basically, not enough calories or protein for someone who keeps themselves fit.Originally posted by k2p2 View PostSpent the day at Clientco.
Cycled in, so arrived ravenous. Clientco got new cafeteria - hadn't tried it before. Wandered down around 9am to grab a bag of crisps.
Approached to smell of bacon wafting down the corridor. Mmmm. Lovely hot bacon roll, and only 80p!!! Will be spending a lot more time in the office over the next couple of weeks. May not be as bad as I feared....
I f**king hate being told what to eat by overweight bureaucrats who think they know what's good for me. I can make my own choices, thankyou.
Good job for me that there’s an Italian restaurant nextdoor.
