Awesome SickiesA colleague has been off work for two weeks now - apparently he's got something they can't diagnose, (although they know for sure it's not Legionnaires, Malaria, BSE or AIDS, he's supposedly in isolation). We are all sure he's merely sitting in the sun waiting for the World Cup to come on the telly.
What have you invented to get off work?

sick sickiePulling a sickie from school, I decided to add a dramatic flourish which would surely confirm my gippy tummy, by making some realistic sick in a bucket. Cue an early-morning raid on the fridge and various kitchen cupboards. Result: a rather (as I thought it) splendid-looking mess of fake vom in Mum's bucket. When she came in to see why I was still in bed, she took one look in the proferred bucket, gave me a steely stare and said 'Get up, go to school and we'll say no more about it.' The shame - but for years I couldn't understand how she had known, as it looked ultra-realistic. Eventually I asked her. The answer? The raw rice grains in the mix. Tits. Oh - another scam was holding the thermometer against the bedside light bulb. Got caught with that one when it registered such a high temperature that I should have been dead.
