    Bugger Gav, I'll keep an ear to the ground mate.
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late

    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Been there, hated it. You have my sympathy.
    Speed doesn't kill people.
    Stupidity kills people.

    Sorry to hear that - been there. What do you do?

    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.

    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!



    Shame it doesn't pay..
    condolences
    change can be a good thing tho..

    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.

    JSG.
