Well done guys, think I have them all now, only two that may be a bit iffy!

[RTF]

OMG!!!

CB one thing is for sure... You have too little time for work
What are you? some lazy general hiding in his trailer somewhere hidden away from 'the enemy' (that would be your boss i guess ). Just using internet as your one way of cummunication to the outside world?

hmm, but what about Julia then? Is she playing along and is using the blow-up dummy CB at home as a cover...

...hmm, don't worry... i will figure this out someday... :doh:

[CB]

Believe it or not RTF, I logged in after work last night and answered these straight off, spending no more than about ten seconds on each one! Must just have a knack for useless trivia...but you're right, i have been of work for nearly two weeks. And my ankle is still hurting like a bitch!

[Julia]

...hmm, don't worry... i will figure this out someday... :doh:

Hahahaha keep guessing!

[RTF]

Sorry to hear that!
Have another Wodka on me for the pain...

meanwhile, keep posting all the rubbish... it distracts me from work...Thank goodness!

[CB]

No problems RTF...
