    As for me - a fit bloke is an equestrian. Strong core body, good legs, brain, brave ....
    I've been watching the Winter Olympics - most of the them could crack walnuts with those thighs...

    And the Lycra helps...

    ClientCo is all open plan and the heating is hot, hot, hot.

    And since ClientCo is oop Norf, and as we all know, Northern lasses try harder, the crumpet is hot! HOT! HOT!

    The totty at ClientCo are all particularly fit, well dressed, armed with platform bras, revealed cleavages you could file your post in and stiletto FMBs that make your spine tingle with the thought of being walked over.

    For any benched gentlemen out there: YouPron is a very poor substitute for the brunette who does the coffee run four times a day and insists on bouncing unnecessarily as she walks. She spills more than she delivers, but nobody complains.

    And the blonde with her hair in bunches - yes, bunches! - wiggles as she walks making her latino silk skirts fly up and reveal her stocking tops... and the way she looks at you when she catches you looking... a half wink and a scowl and then a flick of a heel.

    Lordy, lordy. I can't believe they are paying me SO MUCH MONEY to sit there dribbling saliva into my lap.

    There's even a user department of civil engineers; Equal Ops legislation has seen to it half of them are coy bespectacled babes who go all soft around the limbs when you show respect for their intellect; I thought shooting fish in a barrel was supposed to get you wet... Oh to be 24 again.

    I wonder how much longer I can stay there before they point out I ought to get on with doing some work.
    Dear Mr Cranium

    Are you sure this is a gig, or have you taken to ingesting hallucinogenic substances?

    boobies indeed!

    It just so happens that the women at ClientCo seem to be, mostly, as fit as a butcher's dog.

    Then again, maybe it's because I've not been out much except to see the miserable obese crumblies behind the desk in the Job Centre or the push-chair shoving slags 'n' slappers who walk the streets by day. And I suppose I'll get used to my new colleagues and eventually be able to start looking them in the eye and even seeing what their faces look like too.

    Anyway, it doesn't change my point. I'm getting paid to interface collaboratively by constructive discourse with fit birds.

    So to all those on the bench:

    Keep searching and keep applying. In a few weeks the weather will get warmer and you NEED to be in a gig by spring or you'll miss the stripping off of the winter cardigans for the exposure of all the floral-design bras showing through tightly stretched tops.

    (Or, for the benched ladies: just think of those lean, fit blokes that cycle to work or go jogging at lunchtimes and then leap straight into the showers, sweating and panting and full of adrenaline, testosterone and excess energy...)

    You do that and I'll tell everyone on here about your "Reader's Own" column in Windows Users Monthly.
    If my old Grandad was reading this he'd say "That boy needs a bloody good bunk-up"
