Another pointless thread

Bit like the beer if we forget to put it in the fridge.

I don't keep my beer in the fridge, there's no room with the boxes of the Boss' wine!

Hmmm - so how do you cope with chilling your beer when necessary ?

Drink the wine!

Ha Ha! didn`t see that one coming HG.

Well that's it. His Nibs is officially retired. Desk cleared, company car handed back, keys to the building, one of the two company laptops too. The other he needs still for his work on Monday.

They gave him a pair of binoculars as a retirement present. My suggestion, as he uses his Dad's ancient pair now. I hope he is happy with them. There was a booze up in an Irish pub. Lots of computer nerds together, and the obligatory Powerpoint presentation was also provided.
He is the first person in the company to retire so they were not sure how to mark the event.
Two of the sons and a daughter-in-law also went and then we went for a meal afterwards. That made up for the Irish Pub.

I hate to ask where he works?

North Korean nuclear power plant?
Afghan Tourist bureau?
Mexican police?

Just curious as to why the rest of the employees keep 'disappearing'?

At a local major oil refinery they plant a tree with a
brass plaque when someone retires, but because of the
fumes around the refinery the trees don't last very
long

A technical and scientific software/automation consultancy actually.

He has worked at the company for 24 years through 3 name changes/mergers, and was also their oldest employee. Most of the rest are software nerds in their twenties and thirties getting experience as consultants before settling on a permanent employer elsewhere.

The weekend is almost here!

Flying and Opera. With the possibility of an exciting trip to Dobbies!

Got work this evening for 'Levantes Dance' but have tickets for 'Money - The Game Show' by Unlimited at the West Yorkshire Playhouse tomorrow... Excited!!

We have tiles back on the roof. With the exciting possibility of cleaning the loft.

Oh I do have a new lens to try out but can't talk about it here

We just had a new roof too... It's meant we had to cancel the wedding band and get a DJ

Someone said I had a few slates missing!
But.... I've had a good look and can't see what
they are on about
