Funny thing is, I wouldn't have minded so much if it wasn't so badly paid.
I worked there for 24 hours, and that should pay me €130.
I still haven't gone and claimed my money.

Go and get it tomorrow, and treat yourself. Sounds like you deserve it

I meant to do it on Thursday, when I brought back the washed and ironed blouse and apron and tie, but she was all alone in the shop, and it was full of customers. I very nearly pitied her.

Serves her right, eh?

Yes, because it's up to her how much she pays. If she wants decent staff who stays, she'll have to offer better conditions - and it's not the shifts I'm talking about.

Sorry, I'm now in the throes of end-of-season cricket madness

Is there cricket on TV then at this time of night?

No, much more exciting than that:

It sounds as if you're excited, but I don't understand a word.

Hey, I talked with B the other night about another hootoo beerfest.
I quite liked the one I attended as non-beer drinking but wine drinking guest, even though I paid for it the enxt day.

You should have a go next year. Imagine if you finished ahead of anyone

I was thinking of having a solo beerfest tonight, but I decided to save the good beer for another night.

I don't even know how it's played (the hootoo game, that is, let alone real cricket).

Oh, a solo beer fest? I hope you read the 'Guide on getting drunk alone' then.

Oh, all you do is pick some players, then hope for the best. That's what most people do, anyway. It's based on the County game, which most people know very little about.

I probably should have done a solo beerfest, but the cricket had to come first. It's a lot of work, and I can't update the final tables while tiddly, can I?

Well, you can, but you risk to be lynched if you make mistakes.

I know - I had to check the winners twice

I hope you got them right then.

I can hear the sounds of calculators clacking as far away as Australia...

I've seen the trout post in that thread.

Who has won then? Do I have to click on the link to find out?

AndyG won it!

Go on, have a go at the winter version I've just detailed at F6833120?thread=5931337 - all you have to do is pick a name from a list. And if you pick someone stupid, I'll give you a poke

I'll have a look, I promise. I'm too tired now to go through lists.

Ah, there's no list. I'm just asking if anyone is interested in looking at a list at some point in the near future on that thread
