'The Adventures of Christopher Bate' comic.
Five part series written and drawn by someone old enough to know better but thankfully didn't and was all the better for it. It featured myself against giant alien crabs.
'Carlton's Cynical News'
Much-missed Mr Miller (Try saying that with coffee in your mouth!) reads out news stories in an incredibly deadpan, uncaring and cynical way. The irony was that Miller was/is a very nice chap. It's a shame work felt the need to treat him so badly.
'Versus'
A throw-back to the days when you'd have such debates like: "Who would win in a fight between Terminator and Alien?” We would sort out "Who would win" scenarios by asking various people and then texting AQA (Any Question Answered). A giant crab would lose to a giant squid, if you're wondering. This cost us quite a lot of money.
'Office Ring-Ring'
Prank calling various office workers is always a chuckle. It spreads like fire and winds up bosses.
See also: 'Office Applause' (Where, if celebration broke out somewhere in the office, we'd join in with the clapping. This caused a wave of applause which annoyed the stiff and the old)
'The Three O’clock Semi-On’
It is literally as bad as it sounds, a crazy idea that was borderline inappropriate.
‘The Timmy Sleeping Challenge’
One of the oddest of odd bods that used to work here used to doze off. We would place bets on when he would nod off; extra points (or pennies) were awarded for snoring or a decent picture of Sleeping Non-Beauty.
‘Scare the Viking’ (AKA 'Poking the Hornets Nest')
My friend is easy to scare and, I have to admit, we used to take pleasure in making him jump. This involved drive-by screaming and bursting balloons whilst he was on the toilet.
‘Boys Toilet Wet Paper war’
Although it sounds like a bad porn flick, it merely involved moistened paper towels dumped on anyone, well, taking a dump.
‘Government Day’
When we found out that the cost of taxes made us effectively work for nothing each year, we had a ‘Government Day’, a Day where we did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. This day happened rather a lot.

I miss you when I read your blog.
Well done on the job quitting - I know we did it before and my only regret was getting an equally shitty job wich i have now sorted too (2 years too late). Money is needed, i hope your not finding the house hard in a financial way because I want to ease my conscience for leaving.
I'm thinking about you guys loads at the moment. Guess I'll see you soon enough wherever you may be.
So many things to say but I guess I'll send an emal rather than taking over the blog. later potato
hahahaha! how wonderful!
your corporate job sounds *loads* more exciting than mine.
though we did have a guy nap under his cubicle, feet out, snoring, with de-shoed, socked feet.
Loo--Viking isn't actually a Viking. It would be more fun if he was. I'd try and scare his big beard right off...and steal his long boat.
Kylie--Every day is Kylie day!

Steve--You're very much missed, sir. Westfield was far better when you were around. There has been a huge void. You can't fill a void with an evil cat. No one else will watch wrestling with me...:(
Kimbelina--I'll only miss this office for the people. The work sucks but the people here are a great bunch of characters
Good luck with your future as a member of the WWE.
Does Gorilla Monsoon still wrassle?!
He's dead, sir.
I'm going to be all gloom and doom tonight as I am at work (nightshift) and I have no cool people to hang out with here, except the cleaners, but they're kinda busy cleaning. At least you had people to talk to! I'm going to quit my job as soon as I've got the next one organised cause I'm bored out of my mind here, and even though Geezer works here, with the different rosters, we don't even see each other that much. Boo!
But yay for you!
You've got to get 'The Fear' as they call it. I have to because I'm going crazy and the business is horrible. It's looking to get worse before it gets better. No one needs that.
