I may actually have to do some work, ask I've done bugger all fro 3 days. Or I may just write "server/modulator configuration" on my time sheets again and do bugger all.

The share price has halved since he became the head of RBS
and he gets 60% of his performance related pay. I think that's a fucking joke.
