    Only what appears to be a swarthy burlesque can-can lady from 1890's Louisiana whos ample fish net clad bottom has pushed everything else onto the floor. I think I need a coffee....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,967 ✭✭✭✭mikemac


    One of the items I have is a company branded bottle opener.
    I have to work late some nights (paid overtime of course) so management put a fridge full of soft drinks and beer(Miller, bulmers, corona, bud, etc.) in the canteen. It's to motivate the staff who might easily be stuck here until maybe 9m on a Friday night.

    After 7pm, anyone can help themselves to a longneck bottle of their choice.
    I've walked out of here some nights after having 4 bottles. That's the most I've ever had in one evening here.

    I won't be for the next few weeks as I try to improve my fitness.

    I doubt ye believe me but it's true.
