h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Well, in Britain you can be arrested forw**king, talking on the phone and driving all at the same time. You are not even allowed to perform such w**k even if you are stopped at traffic lights.

I thought one of the benefits of hands free phone kit was the ability for those who wished to do contiue w**king while on the move in a vehicle. Personally I find I regularly w**k in my car sometimes in excess of the speed limits which I know is dangerous and ill advised especially if a w**king member of the judicary should see me.

I should have been a bit more specific...when he's driving his machine he can't call while he's w**king...but if he's in the truck he's a passanger, so he has a hand free to talk on the phone while he's w**king

If you interpret this entire thread as 'Is working necessary' then the results can be quite funny...

*the penny drops*

Oh...

Probably even more funny if you interpret it as 'winking'

From the expression "w**ker ants" I would gauge that this is a 'double entendre' thread...

Do women really wink that often???

Well, I used to think that they didn't, but my casual perusal of various literature leads me to the conclusion that they do so more often than one might think. However, I was just about to say that, "I can honestly say that no woman has ever w**ked in my presence' when I recalled that perhaps one or two have. Also, they tend to smile broadly whilst doing so.

(Also, as well as ants, w**kers are also known amongst communities of bees)

I w**k a lot harder than a lot of boys that I know

But can you keep one eye open whilst you're doing so?

Usually

Of course we are approaching one of those times of year when for some people its traditional to have a break from w**king, but its easy to forget that many people continue to w**k, I hae a friend whos a nurse and she tells me she will be w**king away as usual over Christmas.

this year I've got all of Xmas w**k-free but I will be w**king New Years Eve and Day

I w**k right up to Christmas Eve, but I don't have to w**k after that until January third. Which is great because I'll probably need the break to recover. Although I do enjoy w**k around the holidays now and then, there's no pressure from employers standing around, watching you w**k.

There's nothing more annoying than employers leaning over your shoulder and watching you w**k (really puts you off the task at hand), especially when they should be w**king themselves

I will be w**king the same time as zoomer (as usual )...the break between Christmas Eve and Jan 3rd will be spent getting drunk with my friends and loved ones...because drinking wiht mates is what I prefer to do when I'm not w**king.

To be fair, some employers w**k really hard, indeed some of my bosses have been the greatest w**kers I've ever met.

The first guy I w**ked with was absolutely brilliant...I knew that, no matter how long and hard I w**ked, that he was w**king longer and harder...sometimes it would be just the two of us w**king together with no one else around.

Since then all the people I've w**ked under have been slack and disinterested...I did all the w**king and they took two hour lunches. I think I was spoilt with that first guy...in fact i'm trying to swing it so I can w**k with him again, he was the best!

Not only that, he was the kind of guy you could sit down and have a drink with...it's so rare you can meet someone that you can w**k with and still have decent conversation with...

,in fact i'm trying to swing it so I can w**k with him again> I like the concept of being able to swing it while you're w**king.

Ref Geds comment As I understand it, having someone standing close behind oneself whilst one is w**king 'activates the (primitive) reptilian brain' and one essentially freezes and is unable to perform at ones customary ability. I learned this because, as a teacher, I frequently have to invigilate exams. The first time, I did as all teachers do and walked up and down the rows of w**king pupils. The lead invigilator motioned me across and informed me of the deleterious effect of standing behind pupils while they're w**king.

He was such a joy to w**k with, it was the most fun I'd had w**king...the guy I w**k under now is a brain dead moron who never appreciates the effort I put into my w**king...

...it's true though...w**king with people can be interesting and encourage everyone to w**k better, but w**king while someone is just watching you is very intimidating. I keep waiting for them to tell me I'm not doing it right. I think if you're going to watch over someone while they're w**king you should at least try to engage them, when you're interacting with someone you're watching it's easier for them to w**k
