Well it looked like it was going to be a warm day so I thought that I would try out the new barbecue I bought for the last bank holiday.

Being an engineer the assembly would be a doddle…..I jest not…it was easy…you just had to sort through the copious leaflets and paperwork to find the relevant instructions in English. Well it beats MFI all the parts were present and correct and in five minutes all was assembled but in my excitement I had put the handle on upside down………….

A quick trip to the supermarket saw me return with chicken, sardines and the makings of a salad and marinade not to mention a nice bottle of Pinot Grigio.

The Centers for Disease Control has issued a medical alert about a highly contageous, potentialy dangerous virus that is transmitted oraly, by hand and even electronically. This virus is called Weary Overload Recreational Killer (WORK) If you recieve WORK from your boss, any of your collegues, or anyone else via any means whatsoever- DO NOT TOUCH IT. This virus will wipe out your private life completley. if you should come into contact with WORK you should immediatly leave the premises.

Take two good friends to the nearest supermarket and purchase one or both of the antidotes-Work Isolating Neutraliser Extract (WINE) and Bothersome Employer Elimination Rebooter (BEER). Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been eliminated from your system.

You should immediatly forward this medical alert to five friends. if you do not have five friends, you have been infected and WORK is controlling your life………………..
