    Life in the Bench

    Second week, today I;

    1. Got up at 9:30 - late for me normally up at 6:30 weekdays...

    2. tulip, shower, no shave, going stubbly, read a book while dumping...

    3. Watched Jeremy Kyle - some impressively poor teeth on show this morning

    4. Watching some old UK Border Force eps on 'puter to cheer myself up after the Abu Qatada thing.

    5. Grilling a full pack of Turkey Rashers for late brekky.

    Later I shall;

    6. Take the new bendibus (free wifi onboard!) to Leeds City centre to meet an ex-colleague (not benched) and visit the German Market and gorge on Helles and Käserwurst....

    7. Retire to sports bar to watch England

    8. Bendibus home the worse for wear...

    9. Catch up with Corrie!

    Perfect, not ready for any work yet....

              WTF? A bus with WiFi? I presume Leeds has given up on the idea of a tram system then? Good job there wasn't millions spent on prep work like Edinburgh. Oh, hang on a minute...

                Yep - 72 Leeds-Bradford-Leeds, it's great!

                The bendibuses were brought in instead of the Trams, WorstBus said they'd be cheaper and work better. They don't. We call 'em 'Purple Slugs'....

                Think we're still getting the Trolleybus system tho I think...

                  Eaten the turkey rashers and now I am bloated. Might go for pint with all the dolies on the estate or head into the village and try the new wine bar? With a pint of course, no poncy wine for this Northerner....

                  I need a PM to head this up, must have experience of Stella 4.0, 5.0 and 5.2, Pint 2.01 (not 2.0 or earlier), experience of MS Project for Mac 4.01, and speak fluent English and Serbo-Croat. Also need some testers from Halifax to make sure the system works end-to-end. Doing UAT today, pen testing tomorrow with some strangers from Rodley and volume testing on my brothers stag do next week.

                  Anyone with extensive experience of Tennents 9.0 or Oranjeboom 8.5 will NOT be considered...

                    Where being ON the bench just isn't close enough.

                    I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.
