    Just heard on Radio 4

    "Police said that when they entered Newport Pagnell service station they
    were faced with a scene of complete devastation"

    No change there then.

    You could always do a spot of gardening, like I'm being paid to do...

    I resigned from the company today too. looks like I'm going to be kept
    to the full three months. this is despite only being 2 days into the
    job.

    to clarify, I used to work in one department but transferred into
    another but kept the old work until they find a replacement.

    my ex-boss is off sick so the replacement is going to be delayed for a
    while. meanwhile my new dept will be paying for me but not ever
    getting any work out of me.

    still, the 9.2K pay rise will be nice when I eventually start. any
    UKRMers around Hammersmith? I'll only be in that office for 2 days a
    week but i'm sure could organise beers.

  11. That'll be Bonwick The Elder needing a bit of much needed ongoing
    maintenance was my first thought when I read this.

    Then you went and spoilt the whole mental image thing.

    Still, on the bright side I have others.

    I am trying to blag a free lunch in Chelsea in a week or three. I'll be
    going by train so I could be tempted.

    I didn't resign, but did start in a completely different job yesterday,
    working for the same boss I worked for a couple of bosses back.

    No pay rise, but (in theory) I'll get fewer headaches as I have no
    direct team to look after this time, but get.. manager... in the job
    title all the same.

    I almost feel dirty.
    Excelent news. Congrats.
