Anyway, let's not fall into that debate again.

I enjoyed my last morning ciggie in the car this morning. Currently trying to work out where I can smoke during the day.

Under your desk!

Strange people having red or brown sauce on a bacon roll! English Mustard FTW!

A guy I worked with in the UK was on the phone, fag in hand ready to nip out for one. Wasn't thinking too much and was chatting away. Seconds later he lit the fag, at desk, phone to his ear.

Priceless moment where he panicked, stubbed it out on his mousemat and blew the smoke in a draw whilst choking and trying to continue a call. It was awesome.

I might as well have a pint while I'm here then. And a pickled egg.

It's not that bad. This is the first year that I'm having to work normal hours though, that blows.

Time flies, this is my third summer and third Ramadan. I still remember joining this site as an utterly clueless chap.

Having met Spugsy for about 10 seconds before the Stone Roses gig I'm going to take that as a compliment.

You've not met me yet.

I just got an email from Groupon or Cobone or something and they had a thing, which at first looked like a good deal:

50% off. 30AED instead of 60AED.
Buy Iftar dinner for two labourers for half price.

Shouldn't it be; 60AED but buy dinner for FOUR labourers instead of two?
