Today I had a lengthy conversation with one of the Chief Execs at Powergen. This is routine. And it means FUCK ALL to me. I work, I go home. On occasion (more now than I should but at least I am not AT HOME)I go to the pub.<BR/><BR/>And do you know what? <BR/><BR/>They may not have a degree. They may not have A-levels. They might have jobs that do not involve speaking to 'important' people. They may even work on a production line. Fucking fair play to them. Oh dear. They don't own a suit. I own several. Most from major design houses. That I then pay a tailor to alter so they're 'just right'. <BR/><BR/>What does that mean? FUCK ALL.<BR/><BR/>I can talk shit and get away with it. That's all.<BR/><BR/>There are many who cannot. They, as a fall-back, do honest work for a living. And they are brilliant. And if their idea of fun is putting on a twenty-year old suit, drenching themselves in Brut and getting their chest-hair out in a shitty pub, then so be it.<BR/><BR/>Who am I to talk? I'm there as well.<BR/><BR/>Rant over.<BR/><BR/>Have you considered a sideline in airport security? It seems you know more than the PR people who are banning paperbacks.Tired Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01463536844672270826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24860222.post-1155994669880201262006-08-19T14:37:00.000+01:002006-08-19T14:37:00.000+01:00Ta for stickin' up for us muttons TDTa for stickin' up for us muttons TDFOUR DINNERShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15675014976854343039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24860222.post-1155858899897833462006-08-18T00:54:00.000+01:002006-08-18T00:54:00.000+01:00The english versions are always so much better..re...The english versions are always so much better..<BR/>remember Couplings ?
