Well, assuming I last another 16.5 years, I predict I will be given a surgical truss, a letter from the MD ( telling me if I want to keep my job for longer than 20mins, to discharge myself from hospital & stop malingering ), and a sphincter the size of the Dartford tunnel after the latest "negotiated" agreement.
I don't suppose your mouth bleeds every 28 days, does it?

Heading for 20 years myself next June. Where does it go? :shock:

The only real improvement in all that time is the introduction of the 5 day week. On the other hand, when I started you were really unlucky to have not finished by midday, so even though it was a six day week, it didn't really feel like it.

Looking forward to my extra week off (although I believe I won't get that until the following year :arrrghhh ).

Any married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing.
