    Another Week of This...

    Aaaaaaargh!

    Is it January 4th yet?

    I've concluded I shouldn't have finished on the 17th.

    The Good News is that the railway signallers are celebrating the New Year by going on strike again.

    Where's Maggie Thatcher when you need her?

      I was out for 18 months from October 2003.

      Not much fun really.
      How did you fill your time?

        Let's just say that Pot Noodle sales in Wales were significantly higher than usual for that period.

          I too, am waiting for January 4th, despite being firmly glued to the bench.

          Why?

          On that date the famous "Wetherspoons sale" starts. No doubt it'll be 99pence a pint again...

            I did 8 months last year, not so bothered atm (only benched since 18th), but since I'm supporting a benched Mr Norr (Permie) things might get fun after another while (I won't start panicking till I hit 10 months), still have a few irons in the fire, am waiting on a interview.

            Fingers crossed
