haha, imagine doing 100 + flights a year and being expected to give sensible coherant answers within a few hours of landing..... Have to be honest, suffered serious jetlag the last time I was out in Asia and was ill, took me about 2 weeks to adjust and ruined my entire leave :-( So I do feel for you.

So what do you think to the good old Philippines?

[South-east boy]

what happened to spencer?

I think you're getting mixed up with English Rose?!

A friend of mine got back from Manila last Friday and is still trying to get over the jet-lag! Does it make much difference if you manage to sleep much during the flight with the jet-lag?

You're muddling English Bird up with me, English Rose. Following the advice on here, and from my sons, I have decided to have nothing to do with Spencer and his friends.

Looks like Liane gets bored with her avatar pics, as she has a new one again though they all always look nice!

[Arthur Little]

*Me too!! :lol2: ... but I DID remember you were the British lady with the Filipino boyfriend.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed your short visit to Manila ... and everything worked out for both of you. Looking forward to reading your update once the jet-lag wears off ...

[Arthur Little]

Welcome back!!! cant wait to hear all about ur trip and how it was to see *Edwin!! xx

Ah yes, *Edwin ... that's the guy's name! I'd been wracking my brain there, after someone had mentioned Spencer. Still trying to figure out 'English Bird's' name, though ... mmm ... sure I read it somewhere ...!

[Arthur Little]

Where did you go?

She went to Manila ... a long way to go for a week, but I'm sure it was worth it!

Allow me to shed a few tears on your behalf. I can still clearly remember the feeling as if it were yesterday ... even though it's over 40 years ago, now!

I'd been married to my first [late] wife for around 13 months, and had only just learnt she was expecting our first child. One Monday morning, in January 1969, my boss came in a little later than usual. Beckoning me into his office, he gestured to me to take a seat, stared down at the tartan carpet for a few seconds, coughed nervously then, raising his head, blurted out the words: "Arthur, I'm afraid you're going to have to look for another job!" ... simple as that!

The "laugh" was ... the was virtually an alcoholic. And I'd lost count of the number of times I had had to cover for him ... and make excuses to clients on his behalf. Yet, here was I ... getting "the heave"!

My employer at the time, was one of the UK's leading building societies ... and I was one of three people who worked at the small local office in Perth. So the total staff there comprised, the Branch Manager, myself as clerk/cashier and a shorthand typist. In common with other young guys [I was 24 at the time] at most of the other Scottish branches, I was made "redundant". More accurately, all of us were being repaced by women, in accordance with a directive from the Head Office in Bradford ... simply because, in those far-off days, it worked out "cheaper to employ female staff - as opposed to males - in clerically-orientated roles. As it transpired, this was a last-ditch move by business organisations to take such action before the Industrial Relations Act of the previous year fully came into force.

Anyway, mate, it's all history now; sorry to bore you with the details. I've no idea what YOUR line of work is, but I wish you all the best in finding another job to your liking.

[Arthur Little]

anyway chelsea wont be top for long i hope

Fear not, my friend ... you'll find another job - long before Chelsea FC is toppled, I assure you!
