Never mind moving to a swanky refurbished office in the heart of London, lets make this dull box of joy even more fun to work in!

Oh yes. A brilliant plan it was. Our teams Kettle is rattling with lime scale and as there is nowhere around here to buy any thing to clean it out with, a couple of women on our team went hunting in the recently vacated floors of this building and came back with three unwanted kettles.

They thought they had better boil them a couple of times first to make sure they were clean (or some such weird thing) so plugged all three of them in to an extension lead and let them go at it.

They blew the fuse in the wall socket and didn’t realise. They also didn’t realise that one of the fridges was plugged into the same wall socket.

So this morning there is a dark damp and already starting to smell patch of carpet around the base of the fridge. On Monday it should smell beautiful!

Maybe we can use it as a lever under health and safety to get us moved to the posh office.

So I stand in the cold outside the branch of the building soc and wait for 8.15 when it opens.

In my pocket I have my credit card bill statement thing and I'm going to pay it.

They open and in I trot, happy Mr first customer of the day.

I present bill "Can I pay this out of my account"

The she behind the counter looks at it and says

"Oh we are not set up to do these over the counter, you can do it online or at a cash point if you have a Moneydoshcard account"

Oh bugger. Well yes I do have that type of account BUT your website drives me fucking NUTS cos its rubbish and I dont fancy standing at a cash point with a line of people standing behind me "tutting" because I am faffing around on the machine with no idea of what I am doing.

"Oh right. Thanks"

and off I jolly well trot to work.

In other news, last night a friend posted some pics of them as they were just before we met 20 odd years ago. They still look just as hot now, in my biased opinion, and the picture started me off thinking about all those wasted but fun years in rock clubs and at gigs and parties back in my youth.

Ahh well...(nick drifts off into another cloud of nostalgia)
