saw looking for eric last year and i have to say it was really funny, though a bit far fetched.

if we had that sort of unity within the workforce we would be in a far better position today.

the man u theme was a bit sickly too

That's way too far-fetched to be believable....didn't you watch SORTED?
You go in have a larf,sort 10 letters,skip out the door with 1 bundle and spend the rest of the morning trying to sleep with your mate's wife/husband.
Everybody knows that's how it really is.
