Closest <laugh> When I got in yesterday morning, the MD asked to have a personal word with me - a 'good' personal word, I got a pay rise a while back. It seems that, bar the first month after, I hadn't been paid at the new salary. Just short of £2000 after tax and NI straight into my account yesterday. Totally unexpected <laugh>

Did you not notice on your payslip, or does your income vary a lot with commission, bonus, etc.

By coincidence my lad just had a promotion and an extra £6,500 advised yesterday. He has been there 3 years and this is his 4th promotion. He just squirrels it all away into his house fund, we have told him you can get a mortgage, but I think he wants to save and pay a massive deposit, or straight cash.

if he has no bills i suppose why take one on when the impending brexit disaster is coming. He may be able to buy 3 houses in 2 years time :(

I only ever look at the commission figure. I expect the rest to be done automatically.

Your son sounds way too sensible <laugh>
 
It was Hi viz Paul's Crimbo party in the Cheese on Sunday. He has a bunch of lads there who were at his firework party that turned into a mud fight. One of them's a manc, but an OK one. We were having a bit of playful banter, with him having his back to me. I told him to talk to the hand and he asked if I had one or two fingers up. I replied it was five. One of the others who I didn't know said they had three, but hadn't killed anyone getting there. I had a few words in his general direction, notifying him I'd been at Heysel. What the **** is wrong with these vile ****s? (rhetorical question).

A good story (apart from the redundancy bit). Last Thursday night, my daughter in Dubai randomly sent me a photo of Arnie in his woman disguise on his way to Mars in Total Recall. I texted back "TWO WEEKS". On Friday night, I was flicking around channels randomly trying to find something to watch, and there it was - Total Recall! On Saturday afternoon, Cockney Roger came into the pub with Willy the Fish. His wife had been pissed up in there on Thursday night, as she got made redundant after 28 years at G & J Greenall. Roger booked a room at a hotel so he didn't have to put up with her ranting and raving when she got back (aided by Baccy Dave). He took three bottles of wine and settled into watching something on the box, which was - Total Recall. Now Roger's keen on the gee gees so he was looking at the racing the following day. Guess what was running? Yep, Total Recall! He texted Baccy Dave and they both had a bet on it. It ****ing won, with Dave netting £300!

I'm about to order 2 copies of the film to give to my daughters for Crimbo <laugh>

I've seen that film but don't remember much about it.
