His earlier stuff though is amazing. I was just thinking the same. Meet the family, was it ? The intern ? I realise bills still need to be paid but they're not films I'd be too proud of.

You can't help but laugh. Though, to be serious, that's why she lost her job at the bdsm place in town. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was going to go down with my lad but he'd had a rough night and finally dropped off around 2 am ...at 4 am when I woke him he wasn't fit so had to abort he would probably have puked over a few hundred people !! hoping to go down and see it docked in the harbour at some point , assume you can still get a decent view ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really if I'm honest. You can probably see glimpses of her if you travel around towards Portchester and up Portsdown Hill but from the dockyard itself from I'm told not really at all I'm afraid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mandy Lifeboats Posted August 24, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) I’ve just got back from work and its been one of the funniest days ever. A few weeks ago a different department complained that we stole their wall clock and swapped it with our broken one. We were quite offended by this allegation. There was absolutely no evidence that we were responsible. I am assured that we were very careful not to leave any evidence when we stole it. They got so upset by the clock theft and it just encouraged us to escalate the matter. My team contains a “White Hat Hacker” who changed the colour of his hat for a few minutes whilst he reprogrammed their phone extensions. Every time they called a certain phone number it automatically included the speaking clock as a conference call after 5 minutes. Again the complaints came in. Again there was no proof. Today I got in at 7:30am. A complaint hit my in-box at 8:02. Someone (and I’ve got a bloody good idea who) managed to get into their office overnight and install a cuckoo clock. I’ve spent most of the day giving assurances that its nothing to do with us. I’m not sure how I maintained my composure when their boss phoned me and whilst he was ranting on there was the distinct sound of 11 cuckoos.

Popular Post tonyh29 Posted August 24, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) Walked up Ben Nevis today with the family no biggie in itself but considering I've been through ops on my knees and not walked further than the pub in nearly 2 years I'm mightily happy right now ... 7 miles up hill without a twinge ... going down was slightly tougher as my legs were a bit wobbily due to the muscle loss since the op but at least I know I'm back ....

Cuckoo Update Last night the mystery cuckoo clock was ripped from the wall and deposited on the desk of the most likely suspect. This morning he sent an email around the team that said “Cuckoo Tango Tango Expedite”. In work-speak this means that the Cuckoo is in serious trouble and everyone needs to drop everything to activate the plan called “Tango Tango”. We haven’t got a plan coded “Tango Tango” so I asked for a copy. The response I got was “You don’t want to know boss. You really don’t want to know.” I’m on leave from about 10:00am today and not back until Tuesday afternoon. I’m already looking forward to Tuesday. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
