Mr Stuart Bradbury and his girlfriend Claire. Claire is over here for a while on midwifery matters and Stu has come over for a 2 week holiday. Spectacular weather greeted them so they came round to our place and had a few drinks. We even got a roaring log fire going on. It was interesting to catch up on what Watson Wyatt life is like these days. Say no more.
For those of you who know Stu it will come as no surprise that he randomly lowered the tone of the conversation in some style. I'd pre-warned Rob of his ability to do this and he didn't disappoint. From a normal subject topic he somehow went off on a tangent about the unkempt state of 19th century women. When questioned about his knowledge of this subject he replied with "well put it this way, I wouldn't expect to see any lightening bolts".
Classic.

would i be dubbed a prude or out of touch if i was to say that i haven't got a clue what bradbury's comment actually means? i can imagine it is suitably filthy though.
do you not miss WW life then...?
Mhouse - I haven't been too specific, but I think he was talking about Biff patterns. Although it's anyones guess really.
As for WW, as yet I can't say I'm missing it all that much. And I'm apparently still getting stick off Daniels despite being on the other side of the world.
But I was very jealous to hear about the corporate games - that sounded great.
yeah, i kind of thought that may be what he was getting it. that bradbury, he's such a merkin*
* don't google that word, by the way, if you don't know what it means!
the WW banter is, I must say, excellent. OG, I think it only fair that alumni like you come in for a bashing every now and then - if only because you have turned your back on one of the most riveting, compelling, sophisticated and reknowned social cliques in the world. if you didn't want to be a part of it, then you must be, i dunno, a leper or something. you are a disgrace.
i know what you mean though. its sad and a bit pathetic to be honest. its a bit like if we go out and somebody asks for a glass of water (even if its for lunch at midday) then the inevitable comment is "ooh, look at -so and so-, who do they think they are? mullock" - in reference to some night were apparently mullock had a glass of water, like it is number one crime - though this happened at least six years ago! at least a water drinker proceeds to drink their water properly from the glass, as nature intended, and don't gob half of each mouthful back into it.
go on, admit it, you miss it.

In Mullocks attack, he did order a pint of tap water when an utterly free alcoholic bar was at his disposal.
In Mullock's defence he probably drank more for breakfast on his 10th birthday than the main instigator of the mickey taking has drunk in his life.
Apparently, I'm under attack for updating this site every day, hence having nothing to do at work. In reality, I update this site in the evenings, and have more than enough to do at work. What strikes me though is that someone has time enough during their working day to a) notice how often this site gets updated and b) note who's site links whomever elses site and the (in)significance of such links.
Ah, yes, there's not a 1pm-2pm slot that goes by without me wishing I was sat in that canteen.
...if only because 1pm-2pm translates to midnight or thereabouts over here in CMT (Canteen Mean TIme).
i know. i wish i was cool, but alas, i am not. i rarely mob up with the youth club lot these days at lunch time. the sniping and innuendo is a bit tiresome. I presume i get called for it.
It's a bit of a shame really, that office about 2 or 3 years ago could have won awards for the quality of banter/nights out etc.
And I'm not just saying that cos I've left. Something has gone seriously tits up there from what I can gather. Shame really.
I even heard that Bradbury was having poker success (cards)
you are tuned to the owen and millhouse show, don' touch that dial
We interrupt this transmission to bring you an important update - look again at that picture of Bradbury. The bird in black and white behind and to the left is displaying the internationally standardised facial expression of women coming into contact with 'the man' - aka "What the ***k is that guy on"
We now return you to today's feature show.
That was an archive picture. The girl was that american lass in Cork that joined our group briefly. Nutter.
