For the first time in his life his Zoology degree is actually going to be useful.
On American TV they sometimes have what they call 'Turtles', such as Mr Turtle from My Name is Earl, or the 'Turtle' they used as a prop on the Daily Show last night. Now, my problem is this, I don't believe that they are Turtles at all, they're Tortoises. Am I wrong in thinking that Turtles are aquatic and usually have flippers instead of feet, or are the Americans right and I'm just a big stupid head?

you can do that yourself, so why don't you.

Tortoises are a subset of turtles.
Over here, we Brits make the distinction that tortoises are land dwelling and turtles are aquatic, but the Americans call them all turtles.
So we're both right, in our own way.

has earned him the excellent career of stacking shelves in Sainsburys for the last six years.
He should be congratulated, he's got his own section now, and is mostly responsible for the root vegetables. Well done Andy, well done indeed.

I do seem to reach a glass ceiling though, so I'm going to have to start sucking off MDs

As an employer would rather have someone with academic experince or actual on the job experience?
Good plan for the glass ceiling, but you may want to brush up on your technique first.

The woman interviewing me told me how fulfilling and lovely the job was. Apparently, you start your shift, and the shelves are untidy. As the evening goes on, and your shelves are getting tidier, well, the sense of pride you feel...
I thought she was taking the piss.

you were overqualified.

it's the only explanation. To work there you need a genetic deficiency or parents who are related to one another. If you have both you get to be manager

Didn't actually mean you, Bert. I was using 'you' as a general term.
I should have used 'one' instead.

I had replied to some of the bollocks that he used to spout, and I got a 'care to expand on that?' type of message.
I didn't, as I couldn't be bothered with all his shit, so just ignored it.
