    Well I've had a fun day.

    We've had a new phone line put in with a new number. So whilst we wait for the TPS to kick in, we're getting lots of salesmen calling. Inspired by a recent posting, I decided to have a little fun.

    Our phone is right next to my piano, so when they call, I say "could you just hold for second", lay the phone down and do some piano practice :)

    Ronda alla Turca seems to go down well.

    One long glass of Ribena for me, please, barkeep.

    If I tell you who I work for, I'm not allowed to help you. If I don't say, then I can help you with questions and fixing products. Regardless, there's still no secret EU law.
    Now 20% cooler

    Do I at least get a bowl of water to lap up while I'm chained up outside?

    Also, I suggest this goes on our sign: (Slightly NSFW...if you work somewhere people are really easily offended)

    It's in that restaurant MSE article linked at the top of the page :)

    <sigh>

    Still on duty... STILL ain't got a pint...

    I take it that the first person to arrive of an evening is the duty barkeep?

    (And that wasn't me - I'm just "duty keys")
