I'm back

Everyone needs a pay rise.

 

Adjective

many (comparative: more, superlative: most)

1. An indefinite large number of.

In this case, several thousand!

Oh, including me...

So that's a lot then?

 

Expenditure always rises to meet income

 

Or in my case, income always stays one step behind expenditure...

 

...like the story of the extremely successful business tycoon
who was being interviewed on his retirement.
"And can you tell us, to what do you attribute your success?"
"Well, I owe it all to the wife."
"What, she was always behind you, supporting you?"
"No. I just wanted to see if there was any level of income she couldn't
live beyond!

Seems to work that way. Mind you, you end up with a large collection of
lovely crap, and you can bask in the comforting feeling of helping the
world go round.

 

Was this the same guy who didn't report the theft of his wife's credit card,
because the thief was spending less than she had been?

 

Proof, if any were needed, that Nitro should go into production with
their bungee cords; this year's "must have" new product!

 

This will sound like a daft question, but was that you, working with
Brad, handing out the rucksacks?

 

Sorry, the present incumbent has no plans to resign - unless somebody
can come up with an even better offer of employment, that is. ;-)

 

At some point, I was doing that. I saw you going past (read the
nametag, otherwise I wouldn't have known) but didn't have an
opportunity to say hello, as it was a bit hectic.

 

Not in my experience. I spend about half of mine.

 

I spend all of mine, and will continue to do so until I've paid the
mortgage off.

Then I fully intend to be an annoying **** with a high disposable
income, and expensive hobbies.

heh

 

I eventually manage to spend it all.

 

TROLL

 

Blast! And sorry. If I had known you were there, I'd have made a point
of coming over to say "hello".
