French list for autumn

So far I've got Adie & Bonwick, Cab, Colin Irvine & Pat, Dodger & Linda,
Dnc, Nigel Eaton, Prawn, Platypus & Frau and Simon Batey & SO.

Looks like a small one, then.

Anyone else?

 

Not this year. I will in the future.

 

What dates was it again? - I'll have to check the planner at work.

 

Got anywhere in mind, yet?

 

1st w/end in September. 2nd/4th? 3rd/5th? Whatever. That one.

 

Ardennes, but haven't booked anywhere.

 

Bugger. Definitely can't do that, 'cos I'm off the last 2 weeks of
August - I'd never get 4 Saturdays in a row off past my boss.

 

Another advantage of working in retail eh.

 

Believe it or not, I actually like working Saturdays.

Means I pick a day off during the week, so I can do stuff without
battling through screaming kids.

Apart from the financial premium that was *the* benefit of working shifts.
However, after 2 years without them I don't want to go back to 06.00 starts
or 23.00 finishes. I don't really look forward to any job in the future
based on presenteeism as the primary performance measurement.

Me neither, I am going out west somewhere to do hovercrafting or 4 wheel
off roading or something like that about then. I am fairly sure it is
hovercrafting because I am quite looking forward to it and I am not that
enthused about the off roading thing.

 

That place near Maidenhead?

 

I suggest you go long on Andrex.

 

No, go half as long... double it over..

 

*perk*

 

That's twice as long, numpty.

 

Not if he starts with the same length, then folds it.

Twice the thickness, half the length.

u all wipe careful, now ;-)

Good fun. I did it as a corporate thing when I was at INS.
