On my way back from Heathrow airport where I dropped off my sister. Must have gotten the wrong way but thankfully a smelly (but friendly) IT contractor with a beard in a pink Merc SLK gave me directions on how to avoid Swindon. His long winded rant made it obvious that he had plenty of experience.

How did I know he was an IT person? He gave the wrong direction and charged me hefty fee for it!

Nice try AtW.

Invoice is in the post for the "consultancy"

PS It's not pink FFS it's cerise red.

So you bought it then?

Alf: she was here on holidays, I suggested that she claims asylum and stays here to only go to Canary Islands for holidays, but she is too honest for that.

Here, there, everywhere

I hear that the Canary Islands are popular with aylum seekers lately. I suppose the weather is better than the UK and if you can manage a nice hotel for a few months while you are there, it's worth a try.
