  • Can I come and work in your office, Martin?

    I remember working as security at an event where there were some freebies being given out; they had 6 of us licensed guards overseeing things and it was like a scrum.
  • Should have been 1 for each person though.... :D

    How about asking them for some freebie samples for MSEr's!?

    Tried that on a couple of occassions - asked for vouchers - still no joy ;(

  • I was working from home on Friday, saw the email and replied pretty quickly (I thought) saying please can someone pick me some up?

    The reply came back from one of the few people still in the office ... "we currently have no technical department" :rotfl:
    Could you do with a Money Makeover?

    Sounds like typical MSE style too - apply for more than one freebie by using multiple email addresses:rolleyes:

    Gu and Fru puds are yummy but expensive - so well done MSE Towers on getting some freebies, I wonder if you moved the office to Fruit Towers where Innocent Smoothies live if you would get free smoothies and soup?:confused:
