My drug of choice

Sherlock Holmes preferred cocaine; there was none at Height Ashbury in '67; Keith Richards never had a night out on it; nobody danced thru an all-nighter powered by it; no-one was sorted for it at Glastonbury and I have never seen it rolled into a Camberwell-carrot; but for a relaxing high, an enormous feeling of well being and no real come down effects, you can't beat Calpol

Homeworking - The benefits

Over the last few weeks I find myself working at home quite a lot. eGrindstone.co.uk list the pros and cons of homeworking. One of which is:

'The world is your oyster' as you are free to explore a whole range of opportunities to diversify and develop your work.

not to mention:

Your family/partner will see much more of you. You can play a greater part in their lives, something you may not have had the luxury of doing before. Similarly, they may be able to help with your work.

Nowhere in their list how ever does it mention: "Knocking off early and going up the pub". Myself, the Baron von Pud, Mrs Spuggy, m'chum Rubbery Chapploe and Betty 'Bin Laden' the dog have all been up "The Ram" where we ate chips and drank "Old Spot"

Splendid

Here is a picture of my pint of Old Spot



In a paralell universe somewhere Gordon Gekko says:

"Lunch is not for wimps, lunch is a pint of Old Spot and some chips"

mmmmm greed is good -- <burp>

Jasper Reports

I wonder if JasperReports is any good? I wonder if you could plug it into domino?

Hmmm

XMLMind

This looks nobby

Picking Up

Years ago I set up a YAC account to receive voice mails via email; this was at the height of the boom. Today for the first time in about 6 years I received a voice mail from an agent asking me if I was interested in a domino job.

They must have my details from before the last King died.

Things are looking up brothers.
