I like licorice, the good stuff mind not the over sweetened All Sorts rubbish.
I used to keep a bowl on my desk with a mixture going from simple Dutch through the bitterness scale right through to "Is that ammonia I can taste?". I allowed anyone to take them as long as they ate whatever they chose...

About that hint of ammonia on dark chewy pellets.
Sorry to break this to you, but think "cat's litter-box"

I once had a boss sitting at the desk behind mine eating apples with his mouth open.

Why when you have a junior that drinks a boat load of tea during the day
I haven't made a regular round of tea & coffee for 3 month
so you can keep your pork scratching scoffing junior to yourself ..
Every day, thousands of innocent plants are killed by vegetarians.

Jeez, no work for too long and then almost too much.
I have two jobs on, both are on regular release-review-update cycle so I can't feasibly do one then switch over. I have set my self the regime of working away until I stumble then switching project to refresh the thinking bits.
The only problem is one project is a VB6 to VB.net conversion/rehash the other is Java. Now if only I could pick up some Fortran or COBOL to go with this I'd be set.

Could be worse....
I got home from offshore on Wednesday, gets into the house to be told by the wife she broke the cold tap in the kitchen. It happened just after I left 2 weeks ago, so she had to struggle on using the cold tap at the other kitchen sink. What a hardship........
So after dropping kids off at school today, pops into B&Q, finds a suitable replacement. Heads home, digs out some tools and dives under the sink. Now, these connections haven't been moved since I fitted the kitchen in 1998. Talk about rock solid!
First turn of the spanner, rips a chunk of skin of my thumb.....I might have said a wee sweary... At least its all fixed now. Its also a much better tap than what was there before. I have a feeling she will want a matching tap at the other sink....but will wait and see what she says.

Why? You've waisted a journey there Jimmy! You should have bought two sets, fitted one, waited for the "Och! That's nice!" then fitted t'other for the double chocolate brownie points [what DBC would nick anyway] that go with the wife awarded attaboy.

Not at £150!
The other sink is just a utility sink, and is usually buried in kids clothes. It is fine the way it is!

I shall never forget taking my dear lovely wife into the DIY store to get a washer for a leaking tap. £1,500 and a new bathroom later we walked out...

Good luck on waiting.
