To answer the original question.
Not a lot. Just has a Chinese takeaway and am slowly sipping at a glass of wine as I'm picking the missus up from a night out later.

TBH if you make one of these threads
the answer will generally be not a lot, unless you catch people on fri/sat just before they go out

Hi DG
How's life, and Tourettes?

Well there y'are, eh?
DG - not sure I've posted much - if at all - since I met you and Tourettes at BGB's gaff on a very cold night.

Hope you're both chipper.

Not bad, Dok, Dis.
Facing possible redundancy but then who isn't these days? Have put in for a voluntary settlement just to see what happens.

Boooooooooo
It's not the best time for that to happen really. Glad everything else is good though.

*shrugs*
The organisation's being would up in 2012; the programme I work on still has to be delivered beyond then but after that nothing is set in stone. If I get the chance to go now, with 18 years service, I'll take it because frankly, future redundancy terms are looking likely to be drastically reduced if this government gets its way.

Take the money
Go to the dark side!

You should be able to pick up consultancy work. The stability might not be there but the whole point of Cameron's demolition of RDA's is that he can make his pals at SERCO, Crapita etc. pick up the necessary work, be a little bit more accountable but still fulfill a recognised need.

If they offer, I will.
However, the likelihood of them offering is slim given the level of money they'd have to pay me.

I'm young enough still to hopefully go out and get something else anyway, so the scare factor would give me a kick up the arse to do it.
