looked at the printers installed and noticed it was the old printer the one that had been replaced a few months back since a game on there had also gone i assumed the tech people had simple put an old image of the computers drive back on i just told it that the printer i wanted to use was on the network called stockton-color3 and low and be hold it worked
when it came for me to go the supervisor who's job id been doing since he was busy driving and delivering papers came to replace me and said oh you got the printer working then it wasnt yesterday...

Oh don't worry. I like some things which would send most people into a catatonic state. Bridges spring to mind... :lol: I can get quite enthusiastic about a nice bridge... :lol:

I'm sure another puzzle concerning underground railways with pictures could be arranged :D

Or something like "If 3 people and locked into cupboards, which one screams first?"

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Don't worry. My bridge fetish only extends to looking at them from afar. No walking across them and looking downwards would be required - because otherwise I'd be sick. And after all, you can only get to admire how lovely bridges' constructions are FROM THE SIDE.

Yes, I really am that sad. And now I'm up for confessions, I have a very slight soft spot for Mark Benton. There. Now (almost) all my dirty secrets are out in public. :lol:

Well -- that started me doing some Googling... Didn't recognise the name Mark Benton but I know him from the adverts - making the TRUTH funny.

And the creation of Barton Swing Aqueduct earns it's place in Clever s*ds cause that is nice (and not particularly high).. Puts me in mind of our own Tyne Swing Bridge. (Not particularly high at all)

And just so you can all join in on the joke, this is Mark Benton

Am I being thick again? :?
