I have troubles getting to work in the morning, I'm normally alright to get in after 12 though.
And someone set up a meeting for 11, so I was in at 10:30, but then 10 minutes before they cancelled it so I could have gotten in at 3 instead.

Cool, I booked my first time off of the year last week.
I got thursday as a make-up-on-weekend day, friday/monday/tuesday/wed as holiday in mid-june; going brussels. Then doing the same thing in august but might go brighton instead.

You got any plans on what to do with your leave?

Nice one, you going with the misses?
I aint' been to german, and ignoring my heratidge (or maybe more because of it), I think the historical sights would be faccinating.

I would love to go there with someone like you who's well clued up.

They have an incredible stash of Ancient Egyptin art treasures there including a whole fucking temple that they pinched and rebuilt inside a museum. Mental.

A lot of the older buildings in East Berlin

Sounds good.
Here, i've had an idea. My Ma' goes on these walks every friday. She pays like £250 a year, and so does the rest of the group, and she gets like 25 walks around historical bits of london and someone gives a talk. Or people can pay a bit more for a one-off.

I reckon you'd love a bit of that and would be dead good at it, a couple of groups of grannies a week and that would seriously supliment your income.

If I was a history/art student and had fuck all that i can to do with my degree, i'd do that.

She doesn't do the acting one, but you can get ones of people who get into character.
You'd make a great Dickings character.

Go for it ! I'm sure there are agencies out there who hook you up, probably would have to audition, but whatcha got to lose?
Especially for your knowledge of the london music scene throughout the last half of the last century. Maybe a 'punk' version of it? Could even do it as a corporate thing maybe.

That's really actually a fucking great idea.

It really is, and I can't believe its not already done.
I'd give it a serious think about if I were you.
(, Fri 24 May 2013, 16:55, Reply)
Without checking
I would add a word of caution in that it could well be that it hasn't been done due to the distances envolved between the places of interest.
i.e. it a long way from Waterloo Bridge to Brook Street

Haha, I heard about that and thought it would fuck you over.
It takes me about 1.5-2 hours to get into the office, so I rarely go in now. I swear they picked the shittest place to move to for me. But oddly enough, if I get the right random train, I can be home in 50m.
