That is the second time CFG has dropped that link First time CFG disguised it with a tin url. Best plan is never click on his links.
A whole bunch of dialogues is not nice cfg. Polybore never clicks on a dialogue because they are often associated with malware, viruses etc. Polybore used CTRL-Alt-Del to shut the browser on your childish prank. -
aw man, after that I had to click on it just to see what would happen
bad gfg, bad. -

This kumon thing is interesting. There seems to be very mixed opinions on how good/ bad it is. Marking all those scripts must have been awful.
How did the mobile shop go?

Hi
Nothing to exciting, but I have always put my heart into all my jobs.
*childcare worker
*cook/cleaner in various places.. hotels, restaurants, nursing homes, childcare centers, sports center, cafeterias/cafes
I have also done a fair bit of unpaid voluntary work over the years as a youth worker/foster carer and dog obedience trainer.
Don't have a job now due to bad health (apart from being a housewife)-
polybore is currently a house husband so considers your house wife job very important.

just so we know... what is a 'grouse beater'?-
someone who is employed to drive grouse towards the people shooting them
-
that's a paying job?
-
rich people with guns need things to shoot at...you don't expect them to go frightening the grouse themselves, do you?!
-
Indeed SiuilARuin. Yes isonomist it is a paying job and a dangerous one too if the guns have had too much Chardonnay with their lunch.

All in finance which is a bit sh*t in this current market. Looking for something new, as I was made redundant... but it's looking difficult. Unfortunately, this whole credit crunch was brought on by those people who will remain having their nice plush jobs, because they are the more "senior" ones who then decide who should go.
