Morning all who've turned up *waves*
I was here, just not posting because I am a massive spastic and managed to pour an entire cup of boiling hot tea over myself, my desk, my computer, my phone, etc etc

Took me quite a while to clear up! Now all my clothes are soaking wet. I have made another cup of tea and am being very careful with it.

Edit: haha! and someone just walked into my office and caught me in the middle of a big air drum solo. Complete with my jazz face on and everything

It's the serious concentrating face that jazz musicians make during a particularly good solo

"Oh yes, I'm feeling great", he replied. "Better than I've ever felt."

"So how's that then?" I asked. "Given up the fags?"

"No. Still on 40 a day".

"OK, well have you stopped drinking then?"

"No, I still like a few pints and a couple of nips every night".

"Well, is it a new woman in your life, or a new job? What is it?"

"No, none of those. I've given up worrying."

"So how do you manage that then", I asked, somewhat confused.

"I found a bloke on the internet who'll do it for me. All I do is pay him two grand a month, and he takes on all my worries".

"Well that sounds fine, Bob, but - and I'm not being cheeky here - but how can you afford two thousand a month?"
