    The deepest cut

    The missus sister met a new guy about four years ago and they moved in together. He's a real essex boy and he never stops talking, I reckon he's got verbal diahorrea. Anyways he works as a storeman in a a forklift truck place, which is fair enough. He was quite keen to find out what I do for a living.

    When we met up to go on a canal boating holiday he says in the pub 'still temping then EO?'

    I wanted to gob the git

    Should have set fire to a twenty in front of him.

      You should have gently slapped him about the mush with a fan of fifties.

          you should have loudly pitied his poorly paid job and offered to buy the whole pub a drink to celebrate your latest temporary position..

              Should have said "Yeh! Bit strapped for cash too, How about you getting the rounds in"

                Keep up the image of being a ‘temp’. It’s easier for people like that to understand and for you to hide the income. Otherwise he’ll be on your case all the time to pay for this ‘n that, etc.
                How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                  I say flash the cash and rub his face in it.

                  Show him one of your fancy motors. If you don't have a fancy motor, ask Churchill if you can borrow one of his.
