    Says IT Consultant so we can assume a permie.

    Luckily for us IT contractors he would have been in first in and last out.

    You know what they say about assumptions!

      Ah, so that's the difference between a contractor and a consultant is it? Whether permie or not permie.

      I must admit I feel like shark food when I'm the furthest out from shore, even in the Med.

          I am always aware there maybe an agent in the sea which is why when out with my scuba gear I alway ensure i have larger flippers and less weights than the permies I'm swimming with.

            The story was about the consultant. Not the shark.

              **** off, the amount of blubber you're carrying no shark would touch you.

              Now killer whales are partial to a bit of the old wobbly walrus, that's who you should be looking out for tusky.

              On them! On them! They fail!

                Flippers, eh? You sound like a professional.
