Just got back from Auschwitz
Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1! -

Went to the German Underground Hospital in Jersey once. All this stuff is sinister and just makes you realise how lucky we are to be living now and not then.Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.Comment

Yes - well worth it. Really really sad and when you go to Auschwitz 2 you get some sense as to the whole scale of the thing - TV, maps etc don't do it justice on that front. Then when you realise that all this was to 'house' those who were selected to work. The room full of hair and the one showing the kids shoes is pretty grim.
Oh and Krakow is brilliant.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

you might want to take a trip to the Salt Mine at Wieliczka just outside Krakow. Mighty impressive. They have a full blown cathedral underground amongst a load of other things including an orchestra that floats past on an underground stream. Well worth a visit.“The period of the disintegration of the European Union has begun. And the first vessel to have departed is Britain”Comment

Cheery fellas aren't you. I went to Krakow on a stag do. It consisted of alcohol, birds, food, alcohol, food, alcohol, birds.
It did not consist of any concentration camps or bloody salt mines.
If it did, it would probably have made me want a pint, kebab and a shag.
HTH.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment
