Bloke wanders into a pet shop on Christmas eve and tells the owner he's desperate for a present for his wife. The owner says, "I've got the very thing", disappears out back and returns with a parrot on a perch. "This parrot can sing Christmas carols" he says. "Get away, prove it", says the man. The owner gets out his cigarette lighter and holds it under the parrot's left foot, whereupon the parrot starts singing, "Silent Night, Holy Night . . .". He moves the lighter to the parrot's right foot and the parrot breaks into "Away in a Manger, no Crib for his bed . . ". Amazed the man agrees to buy the bird and says, "What's his name". "Chet", says the owner. Next morning the man presents the parrot to his wife, and she's absolutely delighted as he demonstrates the bird's abilities. After seeing the repertoire, she mischievously asks, "What if you put the lighter between his legs?". "Dunno, let's try", says the man. He moves the lighter between the parrot's legs, and hears . . .


"Chet's nuts roasting on an open fire".


sorry! I'll get my coat.

Tell me about me mate but never again!

Used to be on the road at 5.30 every morning and depending on traffic, occasions when I would not be home till between 7pm - 8pm (and even later).

Leading a more sensible life at the moment but not the 9-5 rat race.

I think after doing it for so many years, I woke up and realised there is more important things in life.

Hope so for you mate <ok>

I don't know your age but as a young man that is ok, get to my age and you don't want to be doing that stuff any more.

Still it's good to be your own boss, your own destiny so to speak.
 
Trouble is Rocky, when we get to a certain age, no fkr wants you - so if you have a way of progressing in the current market, good luck to you.
 
yeh i know what you mean i went for loads of jobs in the last 3 months and once you get over 45 you are put on the scrapheap even though you can do the job the same or better than a youngster thats why i chose this option
