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

The job i'm in requires me to w**k furiously up to christmas, then when it comes it all seems like an anti-climax. I think i'll have to change where i w**k, at the moment i w**k in a lorry all day, and i'm finding it harder and harder.

I don't think I could be one of those people who w**ks on the go...I like to be in the same place and just w**k at my own pace...

I find I w**k better when I have targets set for me, left to my own devices the w**king never gets done

Many people just treat w**king as a hobby though, they go w**king up and down hills and stuff, I am not sure whether long distance w**king is actually an Olympic sport?

I seem to remember that there used to be a race for the slowest w**ker?

zdt

Yeah, I try to keep a list so that I know exactly how much I need to w**k

So howoften do you manage to hit the target when you're w**king alone, left to your own devices, BC? Does your boss giveyou attainable targets?

we have a target of 37 seconds w**king for the average call and at the moment I'm usually w**king for 30-32 seconds a call
the longer we w**k on a call the more it costs you if you phone us so we have to be speedy w**kers

many w**kers take their hobby very seriously, have you seen the price of a good pair of w**king boots

Good grief! Do you need boots to w**k in? I just w**k in my slippers these days if I'm at home, or a pair of ordinary whoes if I'm at w*rk.

Yes, they cost a fortune! But i suppose it's worth it, a decent fit is so important if you are a serious w**ker.

when I'm w**king up the side of Snowden I need my w**king boots

Well, my father was a gardener and did nearly all his w**king in Wellington boots. He is now into his 80's and still occasionally w**ks in his Wellingtons.

Have you managed to reach the top of Snowdon when you're w**king, BC?

once when I was but a young w**ker but I have trouble reaching the top of a flight of stairs nowadays <
I'm off w**king in Peru next year so I will have to do some serious w**king so that I'm fit to go w**king in the Andes

Dear Terri,

What a wonderful thread you started!. When I have time I shall read all the postings.

I wonder if you remember meeting me many moons ago? Well I remember!!

I do hope you are well and happy.

Hiya AR1! Yes, i DO remember, you are a gooD mate of abbi's aren't you and i seem to remember you were in Africa for a while, i w**ked in Africa for a while, the heat gets to you a bit at times and you tend to go in for a more laid back style of w**king,I still enjoy a nice afternoon siesta even now.

for liking the thread, i must confess to a little "frisson" of pleasure to see us all playing with each other with such gay abandon, innocent fun is hard to come by these days.

Have to take issue with Radioactive: "I can honestly say that no woman has ever w**ked in my presence'

Typical, a lot of w**king women do goes totally unrecognised because it isn't paid w**king.

No doubt while you're slobbing out, imbibing the sherry and scoffing mince pies some poor woman will be w**king away furiously over a hot stove, but will you appreciate it? - I think not.

Oi, JH! If you read the context of my assertion you will notice that I was referring to the kind of w**king conducted using the eyelids.

....and generally women are not paid to perform this kind of w**king.
