Full Fact is a crock of left wing crap. (and that's a fact)

That sounds reasonable.

I really don't care how much immigration is costing the UK; however, I do appreciate the fact that you are looking after them, and keeping them over there:)

Which immigrants would your like to see leave the country?

The problem with the word 'immigrant' is that it covers so many different types of immigrant.

Interesting that andy 'teases' other bait.

Don't put what I am 'supposed' to write or even what you would 'like' me to write.

Don't be so 'childish' and I repeat get on with your work that someone is idiot enough to pay you to do.

I would now like to use one of your favourite responses.

"I don't need to take that from the likes of you"

Wow...now I know why you use that phrase.

It's kinda cathartic.

Oh FYI - I rarely work in the late afternoon because the teams I manage are offshore in Philadelphia and Bangalore...so my core hours are from 04:00am to midday and then from about mid evening until I go to bed.

But honest, my employers aren't idiots. I think we both know why you would assume that...but believe me - it give value. That's why I've just been promoted (that the thing that happened to the other people you used to work with)

Just joking.

I'm sure you were valued.

ANOTHEOLDGIT, I know you are able to ascertain folks' religions merely by looking at them but I didn't know you could work out working patterns too!

To be fair to AOG, he's levelled that at me before - and it's understandable because there are 'dead spots' in my working day when my teams are at lunch, or I'm travelling up to one of our data centres.

I'm not fussed with putting him right. He thinks that my employers are idiots to pay me to loaf but I'm happy to put him right on the ocassions when he asserts this.

I totally understand how easy it is to forget stuff.
