Oh no! What a bummer! :w
Don't bet on it. I got no lunch today and finally left at 9.50 pm having been in since 8.30 this morning.[/quote]
That's against the law, i'm sure someone will come along and state which employment law applies but I think that you have to have a break every 4 hours of at least 30 minutes duration.[/quote]
Not if you've signed the opt out of the EU working time directive. Also my choice, I could have left or gone out and come back in and stated even later. No one forced me. My contract is 9-5 'or such hours as the job demands' pretty typical in professions these days. It's just annoying at times.

Yes there is, but when you are up against deadlines, it is very difficult. I know the feeling alythonian. I have been there. Luckily, I have a different job now, that is not so deadline orientated.

Why do we love being scared out of our wits?!? I love supernatural movies. Scarier the better and I get absolutely terrified, even to the point of literally having nightmares. I remember walking super quickly back home alone at night just after seeing Sixth Sense, thinking about the "dead people" I cant see around me. Are we sadistic? Yep, I reckon we are! Bring on that Ghost tour where I'll pretend I aint 'fraid o' no ghost, while cowering behind McG and Diane :)
My film reviews here . ......My FMUK 2014 ratings.......My FMUK 2011 ratings.......My FMUK 2013 ratings . ......My FMUK 2012 ratings .


Do you have a VR headset? If so, maybe we can play a physical sports game or even be sports/fitness partners, hit me up if you keen.
