Its a win-win situation.
Yup... I used to love that when I worked in another large call centre. Get up in the morn. Shower, make sure I was fresh, clean clothes as a consideration for colleagues. Then have someone who'd fought their way through the am traffic, covered in sweat sit next to you minging quietly for the shift. Dare to mention the whiff and get a 'but I cycle' reply, complete with that holier than Ogre stare (how do people who are shorter than you still manage to look down their nose at you ? :lol: )

In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on.

It's a gift. I perfected it years ago - being 5 1" and all. I also have Patent Pending on 'The Deathstare'. It's a standing joke amongst my friends now! :lol:

15 Stone weight limit would rule me out even without my GHB.

Looks like it's Shanks' Pony for me.

Made me giggle imagining a big ogre sized guy with massive bug out bag balancing and frantically zooming along on one of those little skooters with a hoard of ravenous zombies clawing at him :) lol
