I was thinking that. "Us" seems an odd thing to say in a company email.

In my brief foray into OKcupid I remember adding The Notebook on the bottom of my list of films thingamy just for common ground's sake. But I doubt anyone looked past the Arnie films and thought a bloke was all about The Notebook :eyes: :lol: It's true you could lie through your back teeth in real ...

My reservation with dating websites is that the person could be lying through their teeth about themselves - heck, enough people change or gloss over parts of themselves on the wider internet as a whole. Mind you, I suppose if you met them it's only one wasted evening to find this out. I could just ...

Every time

And congrats Gelder

Phoned my boss to ask about my holiday problem and he was really mean to me :( He said 'oh you've had so much holiday, don't try and twist my arm' and then proceeded to go on and tell me that if I quit he'd want money back for the paid holidays I've had and also told me that I'd let him down by not...

I'm rusty on this kind of thing, but I think milk snakes are harmless - however a lot of them have really similar markings to coral snakes, and they're super dangerous. I think that's the right way round :lol: EDIT: Just checked that - they're a type of King Snake, and they're non-venomous constrict...

Not naturally occurring you don't, they're only found in the Americas I think. It's probably an escapee.

I always wanted that too. I got a muddy smelly field instead. Still, all worked out in the end

Drink as much water as you can (I know, it's a pain) just to try and flush your system until you can get to the doctors. Also, hot water bottles are great for soothing the pain

Civilisation V - CRUSH EVERYBODY!

A bloke I used to be friends with acting up again. I think I posted about it ages ago – basically went for a night out with him and a couple of other friends and ended up with him being very creepy all night and me leaving early. I then received a very long text later that night declaring not far sh...

Alex gave me Scott Lynch's The Lies of Locke Lamora for the journey to London and back. So far (about half way through) it's a good pacey read and the story is interesting - the jumping between two different time periods in the character's life is well-timed and maintains interest and suspense effec...

A bookie?

Very good

Equine claims handler - here's to hoping!

I can understand the volatility argument - but surely some work for an unspecified amount of time is better than no work and no money?

Having said that though I've never actually temped as such - only on the basis that I've been temporary for a probation period and then made permanent.

I've found out I can't go to Bloodstock or go on a sailing holiday with my family this year because I've been told I only have one days holiday left. :( I don't care so much about BOA as I'd never been 100% set on it anyway but my dad looked so upset and disappointed about the sailing. He's already...
