I find out my jobs by text - so the text might say "Go to Amex Manchester and fix their phones" ... or "Go to B&Q Coventry their video conferencing is knackered" or ...RedeyesUK wrote:WTF is all this Karen business?
if you don't mind me asking? (just curious!)
"No jobs, stand by..."
Karen sent me the job ... I have no job...
hence, "Standby; love karen"
except she doesn't love me <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://i6.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

ah, it all makes sense now!
i've had jobs like that, there's nothing better than the phrase 'you're on call tomorrow'
(literal meaning: go to the office, get breakfast from the wagon over the road, spend the morning surfing the net and playing Doom, while working out how much you're getting paid for doing this )

spot on - have a gold star!
the City of London is actually what we refer to as the Square Mile, and, being just 1 mile square, is not verybig at all. what we usually think of a London (Big Ben, Trafalgar Square etc) is actually in the City of Westminster - next time you're there, take a look at the street signs, you'll see what i mean.
another interesting fact:
the Queen is not allowed to travel through the City of London without formal permission from the Mayor!

Hi, my name's Garry, and I'm a lazy B**tard. i first started being lazy when i was a teenager, you know, to escape pressure from school exams and stuff. i guess it really got to be a problem when i got into my 20's........

random musings:
why do jars of honey have a best before date?
honey is a substance that just doesn't go off - archaeologists have found 3,000 year old pots of honey in Egyptian tombs that are still perfectly edible. (although whether you'd want to eat it is another matter )
similarly, why does mineral water have a BB date? this is stuff that's been trickling through rocks for thousands of years, and yet as soon as it's put in a (sealed) bottle, it has to be drunk within a year.....

I'm happy with mine mostly, but there are a few very Anoying problems!!
1. The remote is really fussy - you have to point it right at the TV and sometimes press the buttons umpteen times...
2. I paid extra for this one for Picture-In-Picture, but you can't do certain combinations!!!
For example, I can do PC-in-TV and TV-in-Scart but not TV-in-Scart. I really want to have the FreeView full screen and the news in the little window! I don't undrstand it, Why would they do that!?
But... Nice picture, sounds good - and Zero dead Pixels that I can find <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://i6.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
?500 i a hell of a lot for a TV... but look at it this way, that's 100 packets of fags... or about 6 Months at the rate I used to smoke! All I have to do is not smoke, then I can pay for it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://i6.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I just hope it's still working in 6 months <!--emo&:huh:--><img src='http://i6.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/huh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='huh.gif' /><!--endemo-->

yeah, it's paid for, it's an old one i've got - it's still round my ex's house <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://i6.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
she's also got my video, DVD and VCR, as well as my cordless drill
it's not that good a telly really, (about 10 years old!) so i'm thinking about getting a new one anyway.
but i'm gonna get me a new car first! <!--emo&B)--><img src='http://i6.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/cool.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='cool.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I'm lucky there too, I got a company Mondeo. It's not my 1st choice, or even my 2nd... or 3rd... but the price is right, and when it needs a service / new tyres / tax - some one else gets the bill <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://i6.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Kinda makes up a bit for the crap wage... if it wasn't for the tax <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://i6.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

i had company mondeo once, it was great - had a fuel card too, and the company even paid for all my private miles! unfortunately, after spending 4hrs+ in the thing every day, i ended up hating it....
