Let me just finish up here, invoice and then come home to my lovely house paid for by not being benched and then I'll give you what for.

Sounds like a plan.... unfortunately I am already booked for this evening and I am having an early night (the soup kitchen if you must know and I need to stake my claim under the bridge as it might rain tonight)

Works for me.

Sounds like you've been barred as well. Looks like you left your Webcam on and they've spotted you in your underpants covered in jam.
