Can't stand London..sorry and all that...horrible place to live/work..too crowded, too busy and too many psychotic cab drivers....

Me is very much not a city person....me is a wide open countryside/seaside person..who fancies the occasional bit of excitement and sometimes a bit of RAIN....

Cos its getting really boring all thing talk about affairs in the FA. Flipping footy..if they spent as much time with their eye on the ball as they seem to on their secretaries we might actually win something.... is it about two single people or a boss & thier secretary?

How can it be an affair when both parties are single..their jobs shouldn't enter the equation surely....

Affairs are tween one or both parties being married or at least attached in someway to someone else...not single people...

And bosses/secretaries have had relationships since the year dot, so whats new about the FA?

When I asked them how they had got a reading of 15 ohms, they told me they didnt measure it, they just looked at the drawing !!!!! 3 days I had to wait for a replacement, sitting in a marriot hotel on full expenses with all them lovely girlies to look after me, swimming pools etc. It can be a tough life on the road.

Jammy so'n'so  

alright for some...tut tut tut tut...

these 'business' trips are all very well....the nearest I ever got to going somewhere exotic with McCarthy's was Altringham..to deliver wind speed indicators for 6 towercranes...not exactly in the same league
