In the 80's we had a SatCom on the boat. It was $10 a minute to use.

My phone bill over 4 years was a whopping $12.50 and one of those was a fax.

I've just checked. It's two chairs, one either side of the guvnor's door with the tie, threaded with donuts, strung between the chairs.

Then set the tie on fire.

The boss is attracted by the commotion outside his office but finds his way barred by something beyond his experience.

Be sure to have the Bewilder-O-Meter switched to register his reaction.
Sadly I can't do that, as the boss is on holiday. He jetted off the day after calling his staff saboteurs live on BBC Radio Cornwall.

Did wonders for staff morale that did....

What a tosser. What a feeble excuse for a man. Destroyed his business and the incomes of his staff in one fell swoop.

Apparently, the hotel I'm in this week is haunted.

All 9 of us (the survey team) are staying here this week! Should be good fun!

Haunted hotels are another way of saying the whole place needs rewiring, new plumbing and better draft exclusion.

"Browsing on my phone" is one of those phrases like "I'm on the train" which didn't exist until fairly recently.
Shirley the phrase has existed as long as steam locomotion, it just hadn't entered the zeitgeist until the advent of cheap mobile telephony; saying "I'm on the train" to people on the trackside is just boastful and vulgar, and telling your fellow passengers will just make them stare at you like you've just suggested violating their labrador while wearing a Mary Whitehouse mask and humming the Marseillaise.

Dogs on trains? It's an outrage. If I am to be reprimanded for making tea with my trusty spirit stove on the 7:03, then others should be chastised for travelling with livestock.

Ahhh. I like those. I could've had one for the pond.

Congrats Mrs Doogz.

My first day done. They want me to go back. That's a good thing right? Actually considering how daunted I was and how complicated/lots to learn/very important/personal/confidential blah blah I actually enjoyed it. Day flies by as constantly busy. Soooo much to learn and lots of new jargon. But picking it up really quickly.

Fingers crossed I feel the same by Friday.

I'm going to treat myself to another new car. I want a white one. I bid on one on eBay on Saturday. It was black :|
