Morning AllWell, this place is going to Hell in a handbasket (always wanted to say that).
Yesterday we had 7 people on shift, today we have 4. That's because 2 were sacked (and not out of the blue, it was after discussion), and the other was suspended, pending a disciplinary. Sadly, that's my housemate. If he loses his job, we lose the house. Great(!)
Of the 4 people we have on shift, only 1 has been here longer than 3 months. Everyone is getting sacked over the most ridiculous things, and no-one wants to replace them, as this place now has a reputation for being shit employers. I can't say anything to anyone, as my position in the company isn't strong, so I have to just keep my head down and work.
So come b3tans, tell me, what's really pissing you off at the moment?

Not much, actually. Which is nice.I hope my printer turns up today. I get to design my leaflets, print them, walk around town with daughter dropping them through letterboxes and start going out quoting. I don't know about you, but I'm excited.
I realise that's of no relevance to your question.

Cheers!If I get twenty or so jobs just from leafleting, I'll have a week's work, about a quarter of what I need. I can then take that to the bank and convince them I'm worthy of a small business loan. Probably.

I've discovered a great dieting tip.Go home after work and ring up your ISP and spend ages waiting to be put through to someone only to be told you need to speak to someone else. Repeat this a few times and by the time you've finished it's 8pm which means you eat your dinner later than usual and don't get hungry again later in the evening as you're fast asleep.

Albert, I'm telling youI needed to lose a stone for my mate's wedding a couple of years ago.
I ate ALL the pasta and spuds as I liked, very little meat (there is a meat version with very little carbs), I ate lots of Quorn, mushy peas and beans (superspeed foods).
I lost a stone in a month.
I did the same after Christmas and lost 7lb in the first week.
Magic. I am proof.

Eating pulses is good for youbut eating tons of pulses and not doing any exercise will not make you thinner. They do not magically burn off fat, they simply fill you up with a smaller portion size so that you don't tend to eat as much.

I suppose, at a push, I could complain that I'm slightly shaky this morning after a few too many pints of ESB, but I shan't, 'cause I'm actually quite comfortable here in my office with a lollipop and a cup of coffee, so cheer the fuck up or I'll have to get myself a croissant and a glass of white wine to go with my newspaper and lord it over you.

Orange flavour.I actually acquired it during the tube strike last summer - the District Line being closed meant us walking to the pub for our Thursday night curry (heaven forfend we should have to earn it!). But en route, just passing through the St Paul's area, we were accosted by two nice young ladies who offered us bottles of water and lollipops. I politely took one and then she thrust a load of them into my hand, insisting that they were trying to get rid of them. I wasn't going to argue, and resisted the temptation to ask whether she was making similar offers with regards to her rather ample breasts.
