Fanku!!
Any ideas on cast iron reasons to tell my dad why I'm buggering off?

Calm down bluey.
Are you flying the red flag?

Say you've got the shits and your arse is like the Japanese flag.
Then suggest to him he might want to sniff your finger.

Or say you have a migraine.

The problem is my dad is the kind of person who would still stay at work even if he had a leg hanging off by a sinew.

My boss is like that.
I insist he goes home when he's ill because he once gave me the lurgy two days before Xmas.

Selfish bastard.

Go with 'women's problems'
if he's a proper man he'll be too scared to ask.

Failing that a headache and dizzy spells is easy to fake, or just a very queezy stomach.

Have a little sleep on the floor
lie down just inside the door and spread some paper clips around you. if anyone comes in the door will wake you up as it hits you and you'll look like you were picking up the paper clips.

I've never tried this.
Been tempted to have a snooze in the server room though as the only other people with keys to it are friends of mine.

Never yet, in this job.
Bloody open plan.
