    it is very funny skint. You sing along to the song and get points. You can do duets and be scored against the other singer.

    It gets verrrrrrrrrrrrry competitive - doesn't it BUNNY?!! :rotfl:

    I kind of remember you saying you could carry a tune though... mind you one of my old flatmates loves it and I seem to remember she was as tone deaf as me!

    it's not all bad and there are worse jobs - and lots of them. it's just I'd rather be doing something else but the pay and conditions make it too good to leave.:o Maybe once I've done DFW and then MFW I can go retrain to do something fun!

    Funnily enough, that's exactly what I was thinking. Was looking at helicopter pilots. Training course a mere £50,000.... :eek:
    How long have you been off for?

    Just the weekend - yes, it's that good...

    It's dead easy, and perfectly safe. The big fan turns round and it sucks itself into the air like a giant hoover.

    What could possibly go wrong?

    I kind of remember you saying you could carry a tune though...

    wellllllllllll, yes, I can, but I've always preferred singing in choirs so I was surprised with myself when I did it!!!

    Have to say, everyone could hold a tune (Snaggles,Bunny and I_A) so it was close on all the rounds!

    wwwwwwwwwwwwoooooooooooooo, you've gotta STOP, beforrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre you tearrrrrr me all apart................:rotfl:
