Believe it or not
it's more interesting than anything I've heard said while I've been on this secondment. It's driving me mental. I'd rather there was silence than this mindlessness.

This is all part of your quest to retain gainful employment, I take it
Sorry to hear it bites though mate. Want me to do you an impromptu song and dance routine?

naa, I've been on this secondment since before all that stuff kicked off.
I'm hoping that should I keep my job then this secondment will come to an end, because it's fucking dull and I'm fed up of having to spend several nights a week away from my home, my mrs and my incredibly comfortable bed.

I appreciate the offer but I will pass on the song and dance.

I can understand that this is a massively shite state of affairs
and you have my sympathy. Good call on the song & dance routine, for one thing I CANNOT sing and for another I took the missus to see Hairspray last night, so the routine would have been absolutely gay as tits

it could be a lot worse admittedly
I'm making a little extra, the work is a piece of piss (although really dull) and the place I am staying up here has a pool, which I may have mentioned once or twice.

I'm only in my office 2 days a week though and have so much work to do in that time it is ridiculous. If that state of affairs continues though then this secondment will finish at the end of March, which isn't too bad. Although the client wants it until at least end of June, which can fuck right off.

I'll send the boys round

This isn't the BBC
who had to cut my slip of the tongue when I mentioned one of our clients by name.

Did I mention I was on TV?

it's worse than the BBC
you may have mentioned it. A shame I missed it, but it was raining so I thought I'd go and pick up my mrs rather than have her walk for an hour in the rain.

There's a link to the iPlayer on my FB page
However, I am gradually coming to terms with the somewhat radical notion that some people have better things to do than watch me on telly

It doesn't work
For whatever reason, the bbc website has decided that episode is shit, and as such doesn't exist.

It does work
My sister-in-law used it just last night. Obviously your ISP is run by bitter Chelsea fans

It's not worked since last Wednesday
Here's a screenshot. That's all you get on that show, but you can watch the others. Maybe it was just too gay for the North?
