It takes approximately 20 minutes to get to Croesyceiliog, I have to be there in 30 minutes. I'm vaguely aware of its location. I have no sat nav.
If anyone wants to give me a bell to tell me how to get there in a manner that's both easy to understand and very quiet, I'd be most grateful.
Do you not have Google maps on that island? You put in your address, and where you are going. It'll give you turn-by-turn and distance directions...Quote:

Mornsup :coffee:
Rather surprisingly I made it in to work today. The roads were clear, and the trains were running on time. :(
Seems that 2 inches of snow just isn't enough in these enlightened times...
Thanks, dewd. I used AAroutefinder in the end and got lost. I was around half hour late but the lady was about 20 years my senior and didn't mind at all once I'd smiled and played the befuddled academic card.Quote:

Everything went better than expected and I'm now £4.40 per week better off.
I think I'll go order myself another sports car :mellow:
The pay without selling out and getting a boss.
^see that?he has to now have sex with this lady.and thats gross and slimey judging from my past.

And mbm's right, I don't have to have sex with her to get the money, I don't even have to do her accounts, but I do have to administrate her payroll.
She's already got an accountant for her shop :emo:
Does anyone think it's unethical for me to try to undercut this accountant? I'd hate it if a different firm got a foot in the door with one of my clients and did that to me.
I'm pretty sure we live in a free market economy... undercut away :yes:
Sounds like adult stuff.ill look around the room now till there's a topic I can jump in on.

I've been to the pub. <---------------------------moral disclaimer.
Going to the Harvester for Sunday lunch with missus Barbie and the 2.4 children doesn't constitute going to the pub.
Even if you were allowed to have half a lager and lime.
No no no somebody at work is leaving, they felt the need to celebrate. It's monday, by the way.
I've had 3 points. Pints, even. Don't tell Mrs Barbie. Also .4 of a kid is a bit weird, like, but it makes nappy changes easier.
Do you know the accountant. If not, then do it. I just got back from undercutting a rival tree surgery firm. Their prices are fixed, and I know them, so I knocked £50-£100 of the price they would charge for each tree-fell.Quote:

Anyhow, thanks for that, Ben. I definitely will give the undercutting a go based on yours and barbie's stolid advice.
In other, slightly related news, I've just come off the phone to a mortgage advisor who told me I don't have people skills.
A fecking mortgage advisor.
He was being quite nice about it and packaged it with a back-handed compliment about my being an academic obviously precluding such an eventuality but I'm quite taken aback.
I didn't know that I was an academic, btw. Perhaps I'm not and I do have, in actual fact, mad people skillz. Maybe I should just stop lending credence to the words of mortgage advisors.
You're simply going to have to back this up with pics. I refuse to believe it.Quote:

I remain unconvinced of my ability to process any more shocks today.
If you can't show her that you are willing to be underhanded and devious in nature, how is she going to rely on you to cook her books when she really needs you?Quote:

The advice presented here is pretty decent.
I'm going to base all of my business decisions on the sagacity presented by the bored for the next month. I shall post some pie charts to reflect results as they roll in.
I just received some bad comma...Quote:

Upon catching her in the act, I asked if she thought daddy would want her to do such a thing.
She replied with a very emphatic, repeated nod.

It is also fecking hard work, we just got a friend who happens to be a tree surgeon (sorry ben you're too far away) to cut down 4 pine trees that were towering over my parent's in law's house and spent the weekend cutting the bastards up, splitting the logs and moving all the branches out of the driveway. I'm knackered after only 4 trees, oh and a side note, fiberglass handled axes suck big time, we killed two of them splitting the logs, the poofy things.Quote:

I did point out though that it would have been cheaper at $75 to hire a 22ton log splitter for the day than the axes that got killed doing it manually...... all I got was oh yeah.......Quote:

Anyways, guess some nubbins wants the bored shut down, going by the the looks of the movie section.
Something like:
1. Post five bajillion links to filehosts.
2. Call the FBI.
3. ???
4. Profit.
Not really, obviously, wrt the first part.
But I am curious as to what the intent was, there.
