    UD again:

    To be socked. The act of surprising unsuspecting prey by suddenly appearing wearing a sock to covers one's genitalia. The act of socking is restricted to males only. It is especially effective when used to wake a sleeping victim.

    ...and whilst all other animated gifs on the page continue to work fine.

    I'm using Google Chrome, and I can't easily repro it after shutting browser and trying again.

    After what has been a 5 month contract turning into 18 months (), I am back on the bench as of today.

    Have been so looking forward to this and getting back into the home routine, having aleady done the school run this morning etc. Also looking forward to staying benched for the rest of the year, good time to finish contract leading into Dec/Xmas etc etc.

    Work hard, relax hard is my adopted motto...Will be in touch !
    Well done for managing 18 months through the worst financial times in living memory (at least for me).

    However, I would have thought you would keep applying from now as it might take a while to find something in the current climate. If you take time off now, then it might take you months to find the next gig which will make it even harder as you would have been out of work for several months...
