    An incomparably awesome £1.66 into both the OP Pot and the EF today. One of those so called 'account tidy ups' :rotfl:

    Horrible day - suffice to say that falling on my ***e this morning the moment I left the flat was the highlight. Not that I approve of binge drinking, but I need a beer!

    My behind will cope, not too sure about my pride. We live across from a school, so there are always cars parking at that time of the morning. Cue someone sitting watching the whole thing :o

    Boss isn't being too annoying, just frustrated and peeved with the nearly retired folk I work with who seem to have muddled their way through the last 30 years of work and are now sodding off into the sunset with generous cash payoffs to leave me to try and figure out how everything works.

    It's hard not to sound bitter and grumpy, but when I leave a job and have to do handover, I at least try to help out my replacement and point out the key areas to consider. With some of my colleagues, it's as if they've already left the building (and possibly the planet?) some time ago.

    2 beers and some QT with my wife has helped me feel less annoyed! :T Innocent time watching the Christmas tree twinkle, before you puerile MFWers chime in :p

    Now that's a new name for something :rotfl:.

    I know what you mean about the retirees Ed, but they'll be gone soon and you can do things your own way :T.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    You kids :p

    Unexpected half day today after all our systems fell over at work. Expected to 'make up' the time next week, but as it's our reporting week I would have been in late every day regardless :rotfl:

    Capacious payments of £1.30 made to the OP Pot and EF, have a good evening all :)

    I think we all have the retired on the job colleagues so its nice sometimes to see them actually retire. Just think how much nicer it is with them gone despite the initial hardship.

    Hope your bums ok:rotfl:
