Thats how he gets out so early in the mornings, he goes to bed ready to go out the door as soon as he wakes or rather as soon as the wife kicks him out.

Not forgetting the Firemans pole. trousers and socks hanging at the bottom top drop into. Wallace and Grommet and Thunderbirds got Nowt on me. Superman could learn a bit too.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. http://brummiestalking.org.uk/

By the way I haven't had my moan about todays meal yet. No moan about the food that was quite acceptable, but the service was not too great. I don't blame the waitress because the place was packed. I blame the management like all these chain restaurants they put the prices up by about 25% on a Sunday as they do on special days like Mothers Day, Fathers Day, Valentines Day, Bank Holidays and so on. Do they take on extra staff, of course not, they expect the normal staff to cope. Whatever happened to the unions?

Phil Unions in the Catering trade have always been thin on the ground. There has in my humble opinion never been a better time for a resurgence of the Unions, it would take someone very strong to go against the heavy laws we have now but at some time the sort of politicians we have had lately will have to be told Enough is Enough. Make no mistake the working man/woman is the modern day peasant.

Yes of course I am kicked out in the morning, just like all working men who are oppressed by their slavish wives. Not for us staying in bed all day. The hunter gatherer has to brave the elements to earn a crust.
