After laying this bait, you must tell us where you are going.

Sorry, I though everyone knew. I'm going to work at Astrium, testing satellites. They're about a mile from my house, and I've wanted to work in space science since I saw the moon landings and Skylab when i was a wee small sproglet.

The extra money will be nice too, but I'd have taken it at half the salary they offered me. Really, I would.

He will be hitting them repeatedly with a large mallet to see whether they break.

Nice work, if you can get it.

Heh-heh. Electrical and mechanical test. After all, if the solar panels don't work properly, you'd need a bloody long ladder to nip up and change the connector...

Well done, Doc. Good luck in the new job.

 

[TheDoctor]

Cheers Maz. On reflection, I think it was just the Tea? thread I was all over like a rash when I heard.

And the call out charge is.... astronomical!

Ba-dum tish!

No really, it's just sky-high.
IGMC.

Yeah, but you can just nip up in the tardis, surely?

Mars bars. Remember them? I wish they still made 'em.

One thing that we've had since my little one was born is full milk and real butter.
Just these two little things have cheered me no end. I had forgotten just how nice real butter is on a slice of fresh bread, and coffee with semi-skimmed? No thanks!

Funny - same thing happened to me. Wee one was born and once she was a bit older and started drinking ordinary milk, we switched from semi-skimmed to full-fat milk and started using butter. Never looked back. As my Mum always says, "Would you like a bit of bread with your butter ?"

Mmmmmm

Roasted lambs hearts, the really lean meat at the tip gradually giving way to the fattier meat at the wide section but really tasty.

They were ideal for putting in the back pocket of a cycling jersey
