Anyhoo, I'm off to work ...
 
Us working stiffs need to get organised ;)

Laters y'all ...

Congrats mate, what you up to then.

NBs996 04-Oct-2006 08:07

Work? Are you sure that's a good idea?
Well i guess it beats kicking back on the sofa all day with a grate of beer and a grot mag!

phoenix n max 04-Oct-2006 09:01

Congrats :)

ali 04-Oct-2006 09:08

Well done mate, about time too! :)

I think we should have a sweepstake on when his first posting hits the board from work.... I reckon before 1pm.

Ozz 04-Oct-2006 10:00

At bloody last the immigrants get a job:lol:

TP 04-Oct-2006 10:51

What do I win if I post before 1pm :D

I have no user accounts, no PC (I'm using my laptop on their external wireless network) and I'm waiting for another guy to turn up before I can really do anything. It's an expensive day for my new employer :D

What am I doing ... Team Leader, Senior Project Prostitute, General Dogsbody etc ... back in the major Oil international I worked for a while ago for nearly 3 years. They've moved office now though, I'm in Finsbury Square for those who know.

Which means ... City Lunches will be happening again :D :D

Oh Dear Oh Dear Oh Dear as someone once said.

electricsheep 04-Oct-2006 11:24

Things are changing though ... I just had a meeting with my new manager, it was tough. We discussed the merits of the new R1 covered in today's MCN and the fly-by-wire throttle ... and we're just about to go and tighten the chain on his new Moto Morini 1200 thingy ...

He's a hard task master ... bastid!

Loz 04-Oct-2006 11:40

Ohhh, bad luck Tony, getting a job at last and then finding you have nothing in common with your new boss. You're so unlucky ... as someone once said here, you're the type to fall into a big bucket of tits and come out sucking your thumb.

Maybe you could get a bike ... could help you to bond with your boss? ;)

Congrats :)
