Unless The Whiff remembered, I don't think that my beer is in the fridge. 
You need a Plan B.PLAN B:
Acquire a quantity of British beer that can be enjoyed cool and store it somewhere, er, cool. It is therefore always ready to drink when you discover the supply of beers that need to be drunk cold is inexplicably exhausted.

It's OK. I have gin. PLAN B:

Have good weekends!
Trivial rant: There's no way in hell this boat will be ready by the end of the month (Wednesday), but management is pushing anyway.
Poor Nick (man in charge of this project) is getting frustrated with the task at hand and taking it out on the new boy (me)... git
Apparently standing up and switching your Stanley knife from your left to your right hand whilst breaking the seals around a window is "standing there doing nothing" and I "should be taking the screws out of the next window instead of wasting time"
"I know this is frustrating, please don't take it out on me " I said to his face
Apparently if I don't like him being in charge I should take it up with the management
I don't mind him being in charge, (I said that to his face as well)
I like working with him too, I just think he should realise that what I happen to be doing in the split second he looked up is not what I've been doing for the last 3/4 of an hour.
I admit I've only been there 5 months and as such am "the trainee"... but I have been doing this work for over 10 years, maybe not the "right way" (their way) but I get the job done.
I'll let it slide... this time
but it really pisses me off when I'm accused of idleness

Just had a water meter fitted. Bloke said I had two water supplies coming into the house (something to do with it being a Victorian house and having a 70's extension).
He said "You'll get free water then init mate. Where's my tea and biscuits guv..."
That means the kids will get their swimming pool filled up (many times) in the summer! yey!

consistent use will do for billing, but i can use as much as I want from the other supply.
There is a decent Chinese restaurant less than a minute's walk from my office which does takeaways as well. I can be forgetful, so Mrs Champers 'phoned me at the appropriate time to remind me we are having a Chinese meal tonighy. I immediately 'phone the restaurant and order the takeaway.
Twenty minutes later I pack up and leave. I had only driven a mile on the way home before I remembered I needed to collect the takeaway
All remedied now, haven't answered Mrs Champers' "You're a bit late comment"
