Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

what a shit bank holiday monday. spent the whole day digging and moving about 10 millions tons of clay soil. every time it rained the soil doubled in weight. crap day.

Cheers bos I was thinking of doing a bit of reading up on the whole experience now Im back home.

I prefer Up Pompeii.
OOOhhh-eeerrrrr, No Missus. Don't titter.

definately worth a read , driver. it's about an aqueduct engineer sent to pompeii to find out why the aqua augusta has stopped flowing.

Don't want to spoil the story, but its full of magma, and the engineer ends up a pork scratching.

Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up every two hours?

Hows the currency trading going, Bos.
I've scratched around my office drawers and found 7 UAE Dirhams, $14USD, 46 Mexican Peso, and 3 eurocents. I was going to sell it all and buy Thailand Bhat, but when I phoned the broker he said something very unprofessional to me and slammed the phone down!!
I'll send 'em on to you, if they will help you.

alan, if it's good enough for tesco, it's good enough for me ...... every little helps :)) very nearly ready to start playing with real money instead of monopoly money. i just hope i have the same success cos i've now got tuns o' pretend money in me account.

ho hum , back to work. not that i'm dreading this week or anything, but, i've already started counting down the seconds 'til saturday.

Driver, I slept like a baby last night; I did indeed wake up every two hours - screaming, as it happens - but soon quietened down after a feed of breast milk.

If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?

Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

Driver: "If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?"

It could be a signing!

Hope everyone is back and refreshed after the weekend.
Just been reading the paper and noticed a girl in the navy sued the MOD because she broke her ankle during training. Is it just me or is this another pathetic example of a good law gone wrong. Whats next, during a firefight a soldier twists his ankle and sues because the MOD did not make sure the ground was even before launching the attack?

The worlds gone mad ,,policeman suing for trauma and a gay policeman suing because he can't wear an earing ,says they are discriminating against him because he's gay ,they all need a good kicking .

jimmy make my day.

Soldiers in enemy armed forces engaged by our boys will be suing our ammunition manufacturers next, for making the bangs too loud and scary.

Can't believe the earring thing - I mean I do, but I'm having difficulty. Either you wear the uniform and wear it properly, or you don't join the uniformed services.

People should definitely be better at putting up and shutting up.

End of rant, is there any tea in the pot?

If a planes crashes into my office building can I then sue the airline company for not placing a warning sign that this could happen?

I think not. What pisses me off more is that stupid ad on tv with the woman slipping on a wet floor and moaning and claiming that there were no warning signs.
The company should sue her for being so stupid and not looking where she was going.

Doesnt health and saftey say that we are responcible for our own saftey while in the work place and should report anything that could be dangerous? I wonder if she reported that wet floor.
The USA sue based culture is pathetic. It just lines the pockets on ambulance chasing lawyers.

ok rant over - I think I need more coffee.

How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?

Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?

Hi Marc3254 and soul traders,

So sorry that your tea and coffee were luke warm but if they were piping hot and you spilt them you might have sued the providers of these beverages for not putting a warning sign on them.

Another one of those golden cross thingies approaching bos.
