Noooo, like I say I have this ex-student who has ended up in Sydney. It'd be nice if I could somehow help him get a local job, but until then I'm happy to have him working remotely for me

OK not all Australians, just those that work in HR in Sydney.

I have an ex-work mate down there and he's still working remotely for me cause no one else has offered him a job.

He really is quite useful.

Ha ha, stoopid Australians.

I am too hungover to take the bait. Can I just call u a stupid pomme bast*ard instead? Give me a few days and I'll have a more witty retort. But you are right in one respect HR people are stupid. Really stupid.

I have to say, the current Bentley is a nicer car to drive.

Threaded Old Boy, we could soon be neighbours!

My father-in-law has recently become deceased and we've inherited his stately pile!

Also, a piece of advice, should I start using his Bentley rather than my RR as my work hack?
