As entertaining as you all are I'm going to have to go back to bed for a snooze. I can testify that 2 weeks of not sleeping does make you delirious. See you later Cheery bye Laura!!

Dozy bint tried to sell me brown shoes with a black belt Oh, the pain! The pain of it all! That's not the worst of it - I wasn't even interested in buying anything; I was just passing through 'cause it was quicker that way! Bloody high-pressure sales

Well, I say 'her' - from what I gathered from the staff at the store, the op was actually two months away. Made the surgeons' facial restructuring job easier, at least!

I'm a computer plumber ....... apparently!! Ah... what a useful invention! In fairness our proper Civil Eng people aren't the overt mathmos... there's a couple of them who very much fit the "big scary much-tattooed man" image instead?! I think I'm already on the verge of tears there fella! ;D What, you poke a screwdriver in there a few times, tut, tell us you'll need to get a new part, but will be back in a month - and charge us £60 +VAT per hour?!

IT technicians tend to come in two types. You get your archetypal nerd, who dress strangely, like sci-fi etc, etc. Then you have your biker type technician, who like IT as they just have a general interest/obsession in how things work. Which one am I?? ........... I'd be classed as other!! It is my ambition to do as you described ...... as they're some serious money to be made in fleecing people who don't know anything about computers!! I can't do it though as my conscience won't let me, I usually do private work as favours for mates and mates of mates. PC World for instance charge £50 to set your PC up at home ........ so say for instance you work really slowly and factor in travelling time and you only manage 4 set ups a day. You're still raking in £200 a day for doing nothing much really .... it's shameful really!!

I'm guessing you're the "fell into IT recruiting office and could have drowned in the dot matrix printouts if it wasn't for the friendly recruitment nerd with a shrimp net" type Aww. As usual A2V, your desire to be seen as evil/malevolent is thwarted by the evidence of your actual practice and scruples! You're right though, it's a good gig if you can shelve your moral conscience for a bit... perhaps having another hungry mouth to feed will sort this for you!
