McDonalds is a bit cheaper, but not as nice, I don't mind spending the extra quid or two.... I guess the sauces are nicer at McDonalds.... why can't we go different places and meet up in the park to eat it?.... You're really never going to speak to me again if I get KFC instead?..... everyone is laughing behind my back if I go KFC?....."

.A) I'm not baited that easily, as shown with the last thread - I object to unprincipled accusations being made about me when I'm not here to defend myself or explain something.
B) I'd like to keep it to the peurile comedy, but people feel the need to constantly bring up the fact that I disagree with the government. I have many other outlets for political discussion, and frankly, I'm bored of justifying my beliefs to people on /OT who couldn't really give a fuck about politics, and just want to be antagonistic.

No worries our kidPerfectly understandable. I'm dripping with bitter sarcasm about English cricket at the moment (unless any Aussies want to discuss the matter, in which case HA HA HA) but if you're in and out you won't have noticed that!

sorry, your intense irony just gave me 5 beautifully pressed shirtys.But, no, I concur, it would not have helped us take a wicket. Although scoring an acceptable total might at least have given us a chance. We were 120 below par for batting first against SL in SL.

Sorry I took so long to reply, I was busy making a twat of myself by taking longer to compile a less complete list of non-English England players than youAnd you're quite right, SL sould have topped 300 without breaking a sweat and we should have anticipated that. A fit KP and Broady and an in-form Jimmy would have been nice but really the problem is that the players have been on the road for way too long

So 7 contractable hours a day (assuming an hour unpaid for lunch)Which is on average 140 hours a month (4 weeks x 35 hrs a week). In which you're supposed to fit 150 hours chargeable.
I assume you get paid overtime?

We don't get overtimeBut you can take time off in lieu so long as you are in each day for core hours (10:30 - 15:30), and ask the boss in advance if you need to carry hours over to the following month (else they get binned).

That's the other thingThere're so many things about our job that bore the ever-loving piss out of me. I like working with my hands. I'd be fine in a field engineer's job, except I'd eventually be expected to gain Cisco qualifications if I ever wanted to go any further than lifting and carrying. Unfortunately, the days of experience being more important than letters are starting to disappear for good.
I could probably keep up, but what's the point if it's only ever going to be a grind?
