BJ: You lucky, lucky bastard.
GAV: What?
BJ: Proper little Manager’s pet, aren’t we?
GAV: What do you mean?
BJ: You must have slipped him a few shekels, eh?
GAV: Slipped him a few shekels? You saw him spit in my face!
BJ: Ohh! What wouldn’t I give to be spat at in the face! I sometimes sit at my desk at night dreaming of being spat at in the face.
GAV: Well, it’s not exactly friendly, is it? They had me in manacles!
BJ: Manacles! Ooh oooh oh oh. My idea of heaven is to be allowed to be put in manacles... just for a few hours. They must think the sun shines out o’ your arse, sonny.
GAV: Oh, lay off me. I’ve had a hard time!
BJ: You’ve had a hard time?! I’ve been here five years! They only gave me a mouse and keyboard yesterday! So, don’t you come ‘rou--
GAV: All right. All right.
BJ: They must think you’re Lord God Almighty.
GAV: What will they do to me?
BJ: Oh, you’ll probably get away with redundancy.
GAV: Redundancy?!
BJ: Yeah, first offence.
GAV: Get away with redundancy?! It’s--
BJ: Best thing the CE ever did for us.
GAV: What?!
BJ: Oh, yeah. If we didn’t have redundancy, this country would be in a
right bloody mess.
GAV: Guards!
BJ: Nail him up, I say!

Hey gav,

Rotten news mate......

Do you trust your company to pay you the final 4 weeks pay??

I was in a similar situation before and got left with the short end.....bastards dissappeared with the $$$$ owed.

I hop you can sort out any monies owing to your satisfaction and find something suitable soon.

Best of Luck.

Buggar about the job Gav.
I guess the bright side is you can take the chance to something you always wanted. - & in the meantime go riding more!
Good luck.

Yeah, mate of mine is counting down the days until his redundancy, about two weeks time and gets a nice fat $30K payout. Already organised a brand new ZX636R, the bastard :gob:

Nice very nice!. I would buy an 06 ZX10 with the 500HP bolt on turbo kit by Muzzy. Then I might actually have a chance at passing a gixxer. :niceone:
