them:. here is a 30 page document for you to sign…
me:I shall read it first and then if it is ok i’ll sign it.
them:hmmm… so you can’t just sign it?
me: err no…
them: ok i’ll wait until you have read it and then signed?
me: it can join the back of the queue along these other 3 or 4 things, I don’t mind you sitting quietly at my conference table, but I hope you’ve bought supplies as it will probably Monday afternoon before I am in a position to sign it on the assumption there is nothing wrong with it…
them: so you won’t sign it now then? I’ll have to find someone else…
me: ok bye
an hour later, them: no one else will sign it…
me: I know, only me and the Dean can sign it (and he is away)
them: can I leave it with you and collect on Monday afternoon.
me: see this pile of exam scripts? they just arrived for marking, come back on Tuesday afternoon…
I think you may need to drop by the thread and pick up your free, no-quibble cock punch for specific and gratuitous, mention of conference table.
Is it not just a desk in your room?

Lounging on a stinking hot beach with the occasional glimpse of a nubile young thing whilst drinking beer.
A bit bored now. Think we’ll start on wine.

Arranging demos. I fancy a new turntable/arm/cartridge and phono stage and am finally going to do something about it. Very tempted to get new speakers.
Being a tad yellow around the edges has its benefits. I have spent roughly £0 on booze for a year and a half (apart from an incident with @MGOwner in Oxford), saved loads, and can get away with spending it all too!!!
