Well done mate. Stand up for your convictions etc.
One of our clients were American Cyanamid (they kill loads of things)
and we did
this campaign for a Rat poison. The PR guy here refused to do the job
for this
particular client on the grounds that he is a Buddhist. They understood.
Since then he checked into a shrink (on company insurance) for a month.
Put his brain on holiday and then left working here for A&L. Now he
works at
another agency on the biz to biz SONY account.

Alright all - so we're back on the "manual" list thang then? Super.
Sounds like everyone had a smart w/end - I can't believe that stuff about Pauly and girlies - he is fast become a stud by the sounds of it. I had a good w/end as well - the usual beer/forgetting-what-I-did-and-where-I-went kind of thing. I don't know about everyone else, but I HATE it when I can't remember what I did the night before, and I really torture myself. Monday was a particularly big day, and I was a complete shambles, so I thought "Right, that's it. I'm giving up that Satan's Water". And I don't mean moving over to the v-plan diet either - I was going to give up alcohol, full stop. However, just then, a friend came by and told me what had happenned, how ace I was, amusing etc. So, I feel much better now - I think I was a bit rash about giving up beer, so I'm going to go out and get shit-faced tonight to make up for it.....

Mike is the man with the plan!! after 2 days of battling trying to get DOS installed on this machine, we finally manage to get it on! ARRRGGH! It kept not seeing the hard drive, not reading off the floppy drive - all tests showed up OK, eventually I thought me RAM was buggered.
Advice: NEVER touch Dos 6.22! It smells of wee!
All this KNOWLEDGE I'm gaining is great. It means I can get a job in a COMPUTER MUSEUM.
No doubt whilst I'm typing this on a beat up unix box you lot are recieving 3d holographic images straight into your brains via an induction loop under the carpet.
OK, now I'm going to help Mike with his microscope yarn traverser. Hooray! A chance to get all smeared with OIL! NUTS and BOLTS! Computers smell of poo! Yip!
We are buildign it next to my Mechanical Computer, made of GEARS! It is the business. It is how a computer should be.

What's all this about then? Did you get my email this morning, about a bloke going on about how nice John Sims are, and how good Unisex are? I've seen Unisex actually, they're okay.

yeah but I bet I can drink no beer a lot more than you. Anyone else fancy coming out for a G&T and a quite good band (although they are from London, they aren't that shit). Baptiste at the Garage if anyone fancies it (Whores)?

the message I sent this morning which obviously didn't get through was about my discovering of a kerazy new diet. Yesterday I had a Macdonalds for lunch and loads of chocolate in the afternoon. Only to find that today my trousers are falling down due to me losing so much weight!!! The v-plan diet comes into effect from tonight, so wish me luck.
cheers

Subject: Stuff
Alright all - so we're back on the "manual" list thang then? Super.
Sounds like everyone had a smart w/end - I can't believe that stuff about Pauly and girlies - he is fast become a stud by the sounds of it. I had a good w/end as well - the usual beer/forgetting-what-I-did-and-where-I-went kind of thing. I don't know about everyone else, but I HATE it when I can't remember what I did the night before, and I really torture myself. Monday was a particularly big day, and I was a complete shambles, so I thought "Right, that's it. I'm giving up that Satan's Water". And I don't mean moving over to the v-plan diet either - I was going to give up alcohol, full stop. However, just then, a friend came by and told me what had happenned, how ace I was, amusing etc. So, I feel much better now - I think I was a bit rash about giving up beer, so I'm going to go out and get shit-faced tonight to make up for it.....

I've got Vampyros Lesbos (Sexadelic Dance Party). What an album. What a title. What an inlay.
Actually - Pauly posted something similar to uk-indie. Well - I think it was him. The email was a bit confusing - I got the impression that Pauly was forwarding an email that someone else had sent him - perhaps it was you Kosso? Anyways - thanks for the advice Kosso - I will be tracking Shulmadchen Report down the next time I visit the shops.

for lunch today I went to the travel agents
consequently I am still hungry - but I did learn a lot about Greek
islands
HA HA!! We beat it! We won! Thanks to Mike and his great Boot Sector Knowledge!
Mike is the man with the plan!! after 2 days of battling trying to get DOS installed on this machine, we finally manage to get it on! ARRRGGH! It kept not seeing the hard drive, not reading off the floppy drive - all tests showed up OK, eventually I thought me RAM was buggered.
Advice: NEVER touch Dos 6.22! It smells of wee!
All this KNOWLEDGE I'm gaining is great. It means I can get a job in a COMPUTER MUSEUM.
No doubt whilst I'm typing this on a beat up unix box you lot are recieving 3d holographic images straight into your brains via an induction loop under the carpet.
OK, now I'm going to help Mike with his microscope yarn traverser. Hooray! A chance to get all smeared with OIL! NUTS and BOLTS! Computers smell of poo! Yip!
We are buildign it next to my Mechanical Computer, made of GEARS! It is the business. It is how a computer should be.
>I thought me RAM was buggered.
Painful, you better get James Herriot out for that.

That sounds pretty smart - could you - you know...maybe tape it for me? I know it's a bit cheeky, but I'm sure I could tape something else for you in return...Perhaps my ever growing collection of Porn Movie Soundtracks?
I suppose we should discuss this on uk-indie, but everyone's so serious at the moment. If you make a typing mistake, everyone thinks you're a twat. Which I am.

For lunch today I went home and made myself country vegetable soup with humus and salad pitta breads... this is part of my new scheme to save a few quid, as I've got 50 quid to last me 2 weeks, including going back home this weekend...
Each time I don't eat in the canteen that's 2 more diet cokes I can afford when I go out, because that's what I drink you know.
Grrr, just had a meeting and not only did I found out that MY GOOD COLLEAGUES had sent me on a wild goose chase for a week, when I could have been doing other things, but I swallowed an extra strong polo hole and it's still making my eyes water : (
Ha, whole, not hole...

Imagine. Just IMAGINE how much money you will save if you gave up beer. You would save so much that you would end up EARNING money. But - you would have a miserable life. That's the gamble.
