Photography seems quite popular these days.
Apparently the modern camera doesn't even need film!

i hear the camera does all the work these days and if you spend lots on your camera you will get better pictures

The world has moved on even further Captain.
I understand that some places, even backward places like Wales have gone beyond letting women take photos, they've actually let them TALK TO PEOPLE about how to take a holiday snap.

Is there not a points system where doing 'more' oays more?

not really
after a certain amount of hours you don't get paid more, you get time of in lieu. Since you can't take it anytime you pretty much do it for free

Trying to:

Ignore my annoying mother-in-law.
Calm down after aforesaid annoying mother-in-law has rearranged the kitchen so we can't find anything.
Prepare for a board meeting which will decide if I am going to become MD of the whole group.
Have a can of beer (am off cider at the moment)
Get supper ready.
Stave off the craving for a crafty wank.
( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Wed 28 Sep 2011, 20:51, Reply)

I'm off the cider too these days.
Do you want the MD role, or will it be a case of spending too much time on financials/strategy and less time doing what drew you to the industry in the first place.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 28 Sep 2011, 20:53, Reply)

It's a bit complicated...

I sold my business and became joint MD of the group I sold it to. Benefits have been less stress (worrying about meeting payroll each month, sales etc.) Have enjoyed it.

Not adverse to being sole MD - have had jobs before with more responsibility and I am in some ways more suited to the strategic side.

Downside is less time to be with my family. I am very lucky though that Mrs Battered is very supportive of me no matter what decision I make.

I think I will do the job at least for the next year and then see about the longer term.

How come you're off the cider?
( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Wed 28 Sep 2011, 20:59, Reply)

I've been getting chest pains when I go on a big cloudy-cider-sesh.
Granted, I'll have some cloudy tomorrow, but that is the exception rather than the rule.

Glad 'Er Indoors is being supportive, of course, maybe she wants you to work longer hours so she can 'justify' being a stay-at-home mum.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 28 Sep 2011, 21:04, Reply)

The plan is she won't be going back to work anyway.
I found cider was giving me a really bad acid stomach. Haven't had any since we had some delicious Breton cider at the wedding.

Not only that, she will have a cast iron chastity belt, not be allowed out unaccompanied until she is 30 and even then she will have to be home by 8pm.

When I'm done with that, I might iron something. But the chances are, I'll have a beer and watch the telly.

30 seconds each side.

Eat.

How big/thick is the steak?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 28 Sep 2011, 22:22, Reply)

Like a standard cm I think
maybe a bit more. About 4 or 5 hundred grams
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 28 Sep 2011, 22:31, Reply)

Well give it 30 seconds each side twice.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 28 Sep 2011, 22:34, Reply)

Not if it's braising steak, it would be like chewing a chewy thing.
Yes, mega high temp for v short time, to burn the fucker on the outside is all. Then it wants a good hour at 120-140c with some liquid and veg. Carrots and onions are old favourites for good reason. Bay or rosemary both good, peppercorns work, maybe some red wine (the dregs from a nearly empty bottle works).
