hmmm, looks like I'm alone in thinking he's good fun then. Wouldn't want him running the country, but his ability to stick one up the establishment that appears to constantly misunderestimate him is great entertainment. But then, I suppose I thought Militant Tendency was fun too. Thems was the days.

access is usually a bugger but you'll feel chuffed with yourself if you get it done. Do you need to change the whole thing? Or have you got a coroded washer. google change a tap, if you've got a couple of spanners and other basic tools you should give it a go. good luck!

to be honest, I've just had a little think the office has female accents from Malvern, Redditch, Cardiff, Swansea, Lhaaandon, Poland, Dubai and Goa at the moment can't say I'd turn any of them down if I was single and blind

I'm currently enjoying the London / Kent lilt. I know I shouldn't like it but it really has grown on me.....couldn't possibly be anything to do with being on Sheppey 2 days a week. Interesting that people from outside an area hear different things / less detail than the locals. I'd presume my description of a London / Kent accent is equally annoying to people from Sittingbourne to Croydon to East Ham.

I've been down the petrol station panic buying pasties

It was their in house design and retail acquisitions people that were sat up around 36 - but I think it was just that they had a cluster of meetings rooms up around there. Yes, I've been on 42 and 43 a few times and had the private dining experience - but not when anyone important was in! They usually insisted on meeting in other consultants offices down by White Cube in Hoxton. It meant easier tubes home.

yay, that was me on the weekend: I planted spuds up the allotment on Friday, I got my solar powered pond fountain up and running on Saturday and took the nipper to a Dr Who convention on Sunday. The spuds were all put in lovely regimented lines, eyes up, and covered to a height of six inches with free council issue compost. Whatever happened to that skinny kid that thought wearing a suit on the beach and chasing skinheads around was the height of cool.

this would be nice if they had to do some repeat customer work , then it becomes a bit more real world rather than who can shaft some mug for the most profit .. so like the other series when they had to do the catering and the winning team went with cheap food and made a killing , 2 or 3 tasks later they have to do another task and find themselves back pitching to the same people they stiffed the weeks before yeah got to agree with all of that I'm sure siralan doesn't need any decent PR anymore, but surely week after week of series after series of sending people out to sell tat at the max price as a one off doesn't reflect well on what his idea of a good business person is.

What is your job? Nothing exciting, I just work for a bank. Are you based there mate? I work in the Citi building (number 25). and just to join in, I can occassionally be seen staring out of the windows at HSBC, usually up around flr 36 and sometimes / rarely up in the 40's Haven't visited for some time now I think about it. They had a full evacuation drill once when I was up around 40, it took 30 minutes to walk down and out of the building. Very sobering.

my boss switched from Villa to Man U because he wanted to support and associate with a team that won stuff if he reads VT I can sympathise, it's understandable and I may well follow presuming he doesn't, wot a nob

oh Geno! Knocked out some decent tunes.

errr, Dr Who convention tomorrow...... .....couple of kids were to young to go alone so I'm chaperoning, strange thing is, whether you're into your sci fi or not, the tickets are still £100 a pop.

Bored stupid with another long car journey ahead I availed myself of a 3cd box set of country in the sale bin at the services. Every single last C&W standard is there, from Ring of Fire, through Jolene, Ruby Don't Take Your Love to Town, Devil Went Down to Georgia all the way to Take Me Home Country Road. It was half way through disc two before anyone used the word lonesome.

Yep.. Think that was why they rounded on him .. He's not as good at avoiding questions and lying as Blair was that's for sure After a 5 minute rant about it being a millionaires budget , A simple question put to him "if elected would you reinstate the 50p tax rate" and he spent 5 minutes squirming without offering an answer... In fairness the question was an obvious trap. You ask any politician to go on record and promise something specific in three years time and they won't. The problem here is that Mr Testicle has the wit and dexterity of someone elses turd. He is paid a very taxable income to anticipate that sort of question and deliver a plausible answer. But he's too stuck in his clunking fist self obsessed ways to see this coming. Politics is in a real slump. All sides (except Plaid).

@!*^£$!ng 'ell I nearly bought one of them.....bought my nipper a piano instead as I'm a mug. good shots lovely boy

I usually get paid by the hour (oh yeah, I'm that kinda guy, minimum charge 2 hours, kissing is extra). I've got Clients in Devon, Brum, South Wales, London and Kent. So I'd guess I'm shelling out about £150 a week on fuel plus the similar on hotels. So I haven't had a month in the last year where the 'cost' of getting to work hasn't been under £1,000. It's often close to £1500. Juggling tax benefits is mind boggling.

I've often wondered if that would be the case. Take away religion, take away the need to kill and injur others that refuse to believe your god is the most merciful. But I do suspect something else will simply fill the void for those that need a cause to be destructive for. I'm not sure Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot or Kim Jung Il were particularly religious types. But between them they did inconvenience quite a lot of people. I think if we removed religion then flags, skin colour, posession of a caravan etc will be the things that fill the excuse void. I think. Probably.

I'm with you. I've got to the point I finish a coffee I put my cup in a drawer.

So anyone that thinks differently to John Redwood and yourself is a fool? Could you point me to the fool enclosure please.

Maidstone down in cockerney Kent tonight, but yes, same elsewhere. I rarely use Tesco if there is an obvious choice and each visit reminds me of why. Tesco Redditch has staff capable of eye contact and speach, so fair play to them.

tesco just been in one, what a soulless place and pity the poor **** working there, have they been selected specifically or had the life sucked out of them since starting working there? 2 miles down the road in the same town a Morrisons looks and feels like a little slice of heaven in comparison

first one is in s.e. london and currently for sale second is on Fleet Street (do apartments count?) black or white, london, art deco, that's me happy

how is your mum these days? I've now remembered I also had a copy of Fantastic by Wham! Also, whatever the Depeche Mode album was that had a duck in cling film on the cover. But in my defence 'Fantastic' was never used. I must have been some sort of acne infected amateur wannabe predator with my little collection of music for the ladies. A few years ago I rediscovered the Wham album and it was still in that sealed plastic film - literally never taken out of the sleeve. I eventually found a girly that was ok with the Jam, Dr Feelgood and Billy Bragg etc., gentlemen, she was for keepsies. On the jazz stuff, only concert I've ever left early was Courtney Pine.

Hey, that record did its job. You get a lady back to the house and you want to get intimate......let's see, I've got some Chords, some Specials, a bit of a rare Dead Kennedys thing.....ah Sade! I'll put the music on, you pop your bra off there's a lovely.

or the ones that think changing in and out of lycra at the start and end of the working day is something to be done on works time yes the rest of you are still working but I am cyclistman, being morally superior I shall disappear into the toilets, don tightfitting clothing and leave 5 minutes earlier than you dirty car drivers
