    We can amuse ourself for hours working out, if we lined up some of our staff in ascending height order and got the trajectory right, how many we could take out with one bullet :p

    I think one of my colleagues is taking it a tad too serious though as he asked one of them how tall they were the other day :eek:

    Hi Froggy,

    Thanks for the Snoozegate update, totally fascinating (not in a good way!) not to mention how some people seem to operate in a different world...

    Jeez, can you imagine if you let Billy loose in your place. Billy in the HR role would be a sight to see in itself but I've noticed he's also been getting a bit gun crazy of late so who knows what he would do :rotfl:

    You seem to being really well on the surveys so well done you

    Regards
    ATT

    Taa izi Froggy,

    I'll have you know Freecell is the HR professionals procrastination vehicle of choice! I can only advise, seeing as you clearly can't beat them, taking in a pillow to work and joining the snooze revolution as the next logical step. I hadn't realised that I had gained a reputation as gun crazy. I should make it clear I'm equally in favour of machetes, chainsaws and poisons...

    Cheers,

    Billy

    Morning ATT, Billy & GG

    Well, Snozzegate will take a break for the next few days as this person is now off till the middle of next week... However, I think that person is starting to feel the pressure.. Her last comment to me before she left last night was: "Anyway, I am gonna quit, because I'll be better off on benefits"... Oh well, how do you answer that??

    Billy, please do feel free to pop down here to sort this mess out. Please pick up your weapon of choice in the boot of my car on your way in.. Thanks

    Woohoo, it's FRIDAY!!

    I have just redeemed £10 M&S voucher from VO this morning, to add to the shopping spree pot..
    Hopefully a nice & easy day at work today (very much doubt it, but one can only hope :o) to kick start the weekend..

    Then this weekend will contain 10 pin bowling, watching football & F1, the Bolton Food Festival, and lots more...

    Was talking to OH last night about finances, and we are a bit stuck as to the next step until we get her bonus in November and we have clear & definitive plans for the move.. Our intention is still to get rid of the unsecured loan by the end of this year..

    Hope all is well with everybody?

    Wow Froggy I cannot believe you're on target to clear the whole of your unsecured loan by the end of year, particularly as your mortgage balance has gone down too!

    Sounds like good bank holiday weekend plans, I am jealous you are going to see James Martin........I have a little crush on him!

    Yaama Froggy,

    All good stuff! Still waiting for your karmic euromillions win all the same! How is our unsecured piece countdown coming?

    I can't see the fuss about James Martin. Isn't he the fat one on Saturday mornings?

    Have a grande olde sport-filled weekend. Naturally, I'm off football at the moment....edit. potential backslide into the Europa league pending which could change my tune...

    Cheers,

    Billy
