    Is that £28k of business debt, or £28k of liabilities, though?

    They're two completely different things

    He's got a terrific work ethic, though. I could do with a bit of that energy!
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    dunno, it's an internal move so it's all a matter of my new department negotiating with my current department. no beers on me because, even though in practice it is a promotion, there's no payrise. booo.

    Sounds like the sort of thing I'd say "Thanks but no thanks" to.
    Extra work? No money? No ta I'll stay where I am.

    Which is exactly what the mrs did. They said it had "caused difficulty" when she turned it down as they really wanted her to do it. She demanded 10% and she'd do it, but "0%? No thanks, I'll stay coasting along where I am". She got just about 9.5% in some sort of pathetic face saving exercise for the manager involved.
    That'll do she said.
    More beer money for us I said.
    Everyone's a winner.

    Edit: Oh and congratulations :)

    P155ing down here.

    Got the telly on, sone random 1941 film - so I decided to wiki the film, to see if the woman was still alive ... she's dead (2006 aged 90), spotted she had been married to some Baron, so went to that link, saw he'd died aged 100 and had 2 previous wives, saw one of his wives was a Guinness heir who had 3 children by him and one'd died in a car accident, went to that link, in the car was a model, followed that link, she turned out to have been living with Brian Jones (Rolling Stones) in the mansion when he drowned in the pool, followed her life and next she married some other bloke and the two of them were killed in another car accident after dinner at his mother's.

    Wiki Trails.... fascinating.
