    In true Spinal Tap mode, drinking someone else's doesn't count.
    I am willing to explain if you want. One TZUK member is already on the right track (and that's a clue as well).

    Agree, I am surprised every time I attend a presentation in Germany (and I am German, just have worked outside of the country for well over 20 years).

    To the wanker in the R8 who nearly ran me off the road in his attempt to get one place in front of me in the traffic tonight - well done (with your made up pseudo private 'cheapo' private number plate. I am glad you appeared to suffer an uncontrolled bowel movement after realising I was a) in uniform and b) my car has covert grill lights.

    BTW, not the brightest move to put your phone to your ear to avoid eye contact at the next set of traffic lights - tosser!!!.

    Lol!

    Back in the day, I've had the occasional slip-of-the-finger onto the blue-light switch: easily done with motorbike gloves on - and the proximity of a idiot road-user was entirely coincidental. ;-)

    This demonstrates remarkable restraint on your part.

    I think I would have had to arrest him, and then have his car impounded and then crushed...Just as well I'm not in the Job.

    The hoover will make a hell of a mess, smearing and grinding the crap into the carpet. I'd take the crap after you've hoovered.

    It's the 'Random Disclosure' thread.

    So, my stairs carpet is minging, or I could do with a crap, would be more on topic.

    Personally I'd hoover the stairs on the way up for a dump

    I am about to spend a long weekend in rural Lancashire, staying in the Miss Whiplash suite.

    You'll be amazed. We have had half a dozen au pairs. .. Some of the applications were, errrrr, interesting to say the least. Let me put it this way, if you want the hot Eastern European au pair from American pie, you'll have no trouble finding her.

    Take the one who doesn't ask for a chair to France.

    Take the one who asks for a chair outside and shoot her.

    Simple.

    Yup, in a nutshell. Ah well, i may have to put the kybosh on this idea. If i have to share my home with someone, i'd rather it not be with somone who i hate the site of who annoys me or someone i love looking at who could get me in trouble. I'll just have to train the dogs up!

    Well, I was the one in charge of the interviewing and hiring. And yeah, I went for a safe middle of the road... Someone who wouldn't be overly repulsive, but who at the same time wouldn't get anyone into trouble. ;)

    I have just remembered a period in my teens, when I lost the ability to say "lure". All I could manage was a rather strange sounding "loo-er" noise.

    By coincidence the lady next to me at lunch has just taken delivery of a huge, turd-shaped sausage. It has the consistency of Bavarian Weißwurst (though it's probably a blood sausage) and oozes out of its' skin which I find less than appetizing. Mind you, she looks like she's had a few of these in her time.

    Nope - that's not stress - that the effect of having a manifesto & not sticking to it.

    The random disclosure thread.

    Just conducted my first interviews from the other side.
    I.e. interviewer, rather than interviewee.

    Both were good candidates, with strengths in different areas. I'm happy to have either, but I do feel for the one that doesn't get it. I feel slightly duplicitous recommending one over the other.

    Fortunately, the final decision goes to a colleague of mine, but he can be a bit of a cock.
