It feels like a high Polo I suppose.

She doesn't have it yet but I'm sure I'll have a go.

Couple of issues with your comment.

1. It was HER BLOKES car? Did he have a dick?

2. Posh persons car? I own one - I have no job, am a layabout student and spend all my days in combats.

Hmmm, how do I fund it?

Well, I've had a few years (eek, too many too list) in the pretty well paid comms and management parts of IT and have a few quid in the bank - certainly enough to get me through a few years without work. Plus the missus does a fairly well paid job.

So with no debts and a bit of wonga, I thought f**k it, all that Cisco bollocks will still be there when I have finished my degree and after the year from hell I have just had, I need a little time off. Some 'real off time' - ie get up when I like and do a bit around the house and after September, some 'pseudo off time', ie finishing my Law studies at Manchester, so basically, get up a little later than the rat race, go and sit and listen to a lecture or 3 (I'm told I have 15 hours a week 'contact' time, so a little less than a work slave), pop home, read a book, write a notette or two, then go fishing

The only negative thing I see in it, is doing stuff like this, on forums, when a comms manager, I used to get paid a few quid to do it. Now I surf at my own cost
