Quite easily, just make up shit on internet forums.

Now leave me be, I'm off to neck 2 litres of Absolut and bang Lewis Hamilton's lady friend.

After that I shall drive his car around Catalunya.

Strictly speaking employed til end of June but in consultative phase of job at risk, so will be laid off then.
As working in IT thankfully there is work so job seeking has started. Wish me luck
