Oh dear, he has returned…

Tigga, glad you had a good trip. Never fear, I will do my best to take offense at whatever you say and come across as thin skinned and ill humored. Seriously, don’t take me seriously. And if you really did buy a Honeymoon Suite album, well, you deserve everything you get.

Actually, I was just going from something you had said. Something about Lasting no longer in the game than a brownie in a furnace? I had just extrapolated a great Axis of Goodness which aimed to cleanse the universe of Tigga. Perhaps I was wrong and it will be a Great Coalition to Destroy August Imperialist Empires and I will go faster than a snowball in the same furnace. Then again, that year of wisdom that this young buck has on you might make all the difference...

a bit harsh, it is always nice to re-live the shadier parts of the 1980's by putting on my old Nightranger, Honeymoon Suite and Steve Vai CD's

nothing wrong with the 1980's, a great time especially as I was in my teens and full of sloshing hormones. Some people are obviously still stuck in the 80's - hmmmmm, I havn't heard from the Guffin for a couple of hours!

Saxon, you can try to wind me up all you want but I have promised Mrs GT to be nice to Canadians and other under-privelaged peoples. After all, any race that produced something like Lee Aaron needs all the help it can get.

Please dont show your age by answering that one

PS on a serious note, I am very sorry to hear about your holiday - can they do that to you? dont you have contractual rights to holidays? that is a complete swine

Hmm, that looks suspiciously like a lawyer looking for a labour law case… More seriously, everything related to the US government overseas (we are sub-contractors to State) has been more than a little upset since September 11. They have finally came out with a plan and we need to jump. I could go on leave, but I would be shafting my staff, the program and my career. It was my choice, but it is one that I should not have had to make if things had been better planned Stateside.

I am heading out for the night, enjoy yourself.

Saxon, your comments are noted and agreed with.

Have a good night, I hope you are not in too bad a state tomorrow morning

Take care

GT

I'd love to respond to everything but it will have to wait till I get home.
I have bogies on my six and no wingman.

Perdone por favour, no comprendo

Folk within the services, please correct me if I’m wrong. I believe this is from the Air Force and / o Navy.
Bogie – Unidentified and presumed to be a threat
On my six – Behind me or “On my tail”. Needless to say, an enemy fighter on tail puts you under a lot of uncomfortable preasure.
Wingman – A friendly fighter air craft part of whose mission is to “cover the tail of the leader” ie: Keep the bogies off of it
In my case, I have a ton of work to get done and I’m under the gun to get it done today. I have no assistance. * shrug * The bogies I can out run, I’ll out gun.

oh I understand now, good luck in getting your work done, I suspect you will be putting in for overtime!!
