    Time Off Should Be Fun But Isnt

    When you are a student you get tons of free time and it's brilliant - why ? Simple it's because all your mates are in the same boat so you can do stuff or just hang out and still enjoy it.
    Ok, so you might be the sort of total propellor head who has solitary hobbies (mostly involving the internet) but most are fairly sociable.
    You get benched when in this game and all the people you might hook up with are still at work = downer.
    Solution - The first social network for benched contractors, linked by location and activity e.g. anyone fancy Chill Factore, karting, game of golf, pie and a pint wednesday afto ?
    Who knows you might make new friends and network opportunities. Ok, they might turn up dressed as Boba Fett but at least it gives you something to talk about !
    Right, website please benched webdevs, second thoughts just a hookup thread might cover it....

          Nonsense. There is no shortage of benched contractor events.
          For example the "AtW Monthly Squirrel-Molesting Outing" held in Brum or the "CyberCretin Gloating Tour of Sites where loads of people have died".
          Hard Brexit now!

                    I quite fancy a 'jacobs cream cracker' eating competition, or possibly a 'speed reading threads for pedantry'

                    that would be fun
