    Don't. Please. His Rupert Bear PJ's will be fine. Will you be letting him out of the cupboard then? Best get a food parcel ready for the poor man ;).

    The good news is IT have found my missing work :)
    The bad news is I can't access it :(
    The good news is IT have remote control of my laptop to fix it :)
    The bad news I am twiddling my thumbs again :(
    The good news is I've passed the time doing a few surveys - £1.25 earned on yougov, just a few £ to go, and only 70p to go on onepoll :)

    Poorly computer is an ex-computer it would appear but no work lost :T, and I may get my bonus target after all :) (well, this work was for a small part of it). Writing a very simple report, basic tables and bullets, but I know one of the others will have War & Peace and probably come up with analysis to test the Higgs Boson Theory. Basically though my report is that there has been/is extreme muppetry on the setting of charges, internal systems for recording and reporting and basic structure under which we operate for some work. Plus muppetry on the part of those doing the work. And the very occasional error by my team inc. me ;).
