MotoGP - Qatar 1st October 2005

See, I didn't bother to find out what sort of racing as soon as I
realised that your end had cocked up on the track booking.

 

Very short-sighted, I know. I'll tell them to be more careful next
year, and check the other fixtures first.

It's like TOG and lozzo and the dates for the EOSM/French Run.

 

I'd love to but there's no way I'll be able to come up with 500 notes
for flights this side of Christmas. Next year def.

 

well, to quote the old pissy bloke, "my pot is half full". I've been
promoted, but only been given a 10% payrise rather than the 20% I asked
for.

Still, as I was fairly convinced they were going to offer 0%, it's a
reasonable compromise.

In general though, Qatar could definitely be on - I'll have to speak to
the entertainment committee, obviously.

More immediately, given the fact they've backdated the pay increase a
couple of months, I suspect I'm going to pop to Richer Sounds at
lunchtime...

 

Keep me informed - the ****-factor is obviously key to this one ...

Tish poo - Sevenoaks Hi Fi, shurely

 

A reasonable compromise, then!

Might want to hold off on booking that flight, though: my employment
situation just got a bit less certain.

 

Whaaaaat.....

Actually, that's a bit self-centred. Go ahead and book flights. I
might not be there, though.

Well, things are building to a crescendo. I think perhaps I'd be wise
to have a contingency plan.

 

it's an LCD telly I'm after.

In any case, I went to the pub to "celebrate" instead.

 

yeah, and the back-dated increase would easily cover the cost of the
Qatar trip.

you've got caught knobbing someone's wife?

 

One of the Arab royal family wives even?

'Hog

 

Aha. Last time I looked there, though, they only seemed to have
non-HD-ready ones

Good call.

 

You've been found out at long last?

 

Pff! I was just about to tell you I was potentially having a stay over in
Dubai on the way to Oz.

 

Any comment on this ....

Is it for London or Leeds?

 

Yes. You have a shitty newsreader.

Oh - the content of the URL? One bomb that killed one person four
months ago. Qatar's first terrorist incident. I'd say you're safer
in Qatar than in London.

 

Do they have chavs in Quatar?

 

Shouldn't be a problem. I'll meet you there.

Any idea when?

 

The other way round.
