My boss rang me up and said that the big boss wants to pay me more! This can be justified by recognising some technical aspects of my job. They also want to backdate this to when I started two years ago! I don't even think there's a catch.

My flabber has never been so ghasted.;)

Through a haze of envy I raise my glass to you, sir!! Well done! :biggrin::smile:

Dont envy you had a charity event held by the army in our town hall turned into a right piss up and they made a right mess

They're much tamer than the British variety. I've long since come to the conclusion that we Brits are barbarians with a civilised veneer and the Germans are highly civilised with a barbaric veneer.

John Worsley (a prisoner-of-war and the artist who made the Albert RN mannequin) once recalled a parade ground address by the German commandant who was suspicious of an escape attempt.
'You British think ve Germans know fack nothing,' he said, and, becoming more confident of his linguistic ability, continued; 'but, in fact, you are wrong; ve know fack all!'
Little wonder that the parade ground was covered with prisoners on their backs pi$$ing themselves with laughter! :sad: :wacko:
