    Of course there is my abilty as a time served butcher to consider, probably best for you suity that you give your rations to me in a dash for help than hold me in the jungle with the group waiting for hunger to override humanity.

    The programme manager lost all faith in me once my lack of education shone through when I uttered fourth the phrase "For all intense purposes" in one of my weeky status reports. Having to can at least one of their projects to satisfy the stakeholders, my project which involved clip art and jigsaw pieces was shelved saving the company £14.50.

    I am now busking outside Farnborough East, which I call "The office".

    "I muttered something unintelligible as I bobbed up and down in the water. The raft & team where now out of site & I became more feverish. I knew that last pint was a badun. I started to become delirious. I dreamt that Tottenham where no longer 3rd in the league & a new fawning lickspittle bedwetter had taken my place on ContractorUK. I could feel my life ebbing away. A warm feeling came through in my groin again and a feeling of trapped wind, I tried to push it out & tulip myself. It was then that I awoke from my dream and realised that I was still at my desk in the office, the stench was awful. I looked up and the offshore team was visiting, Bob shook his head in disgust while Bobina sobbed. Time to find another contract methinks"
