    Lets say I witnessed a murder or violent crime etc and had to go into witness protection, American style, name change the while 9 yards.

    Obviously I have to leave my job. What if I had no formal qualifications, but had worked my way up through the company to a decent level, with a decent salary, and the new job that the authorities obtain for me pays a lot less, say 25k of a difference.

    Who makes up the difference or should I tell the crime lord my silence can be purchased for a nominal fee?

    No one makes up the difference. You could either accept the pay difference or don't go into WPP.

    Dammit. Maybe going to the cops wasn't the best idea then.

    I've heard you can get amnesia by drinking too much Vodka. Might be worth a shot. Might be worth a shot anyway. Ease the pain and all that.. Sure only a knucklehead would take on them crimelords, anyway.

    Everyone knows the only thing superglue sticks to is skin.

    Yeah... let me know how that one works out for you!

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Superglue doesn't stick to the inside of the tube because, being based on a cyano-acrylate monomer, it requires moisture in the form of water or some other active hydrogen-bearing compound to polymerise...or so they say...

    What ever you do, stay away from that 'wine', I know they guzzle it for fun in Continental Europe, but I switched the other night from my usual nerve settling Imperial Gallon (8 pints) of the Black stuff to an Imperial Gallon (8 pints) of 'wine'.
    No effect whatsoever, it's no wonder they let their 5-year-old's dip their breakfast 'croissants' in the stuff.
    Rubbish!!!

    8 pints of 14.5% proof wine should leave you somwhere between being dragged by your heels to an ambulance and doing impressions of a slinky spring. If it doesn't, A.A called, they want a word.:)

    Ah. This was only 10% proof.

    Now that you mention it, when I approached the bar - after quaffing my gallon of Stout - and asked the barmen for a pint of 'wine', he replied "Yeah sure" in a sarcastic manner before winking at the attractive lounge-girl.
    Perhaps the 'wine' he served me was of similar strength to the stuff they give to their children in Continental Europe.

    Depends, did you open the door then lock it, or did you shut it first?

    Open of course...no closed, eh, open and closed but yet neither or none of the above.
    All of them, but only sometimes.
    Is that the answer?
