Are you Wayne Rooney in disguise?
Ben saw the dead badger again today. Hopefully, it'll be gone by Monday. In other news, Ben needs some lemonade.

You've been gone ages! I wish I had time for a holiday, but such is my intense work ethic I never get a chance to go away.
Your cat would miss you.
(That and the fact that you spend all of your disposable income on equipment for watching ladies be naked.)

Maybe he's worried about his carbon footprint!

They all get a wonderful 28 days fully paid holiday + bank holiday.
Of course if they also want 16 hour days 6 days a week, phone calls in the middle of the night ( and throughout their 28 days of holiday), the legal responsibilities, etc then they could start their own company and arrange for the nessecary finance etc.
Trust me, writing books and speaking seems like a better way to live.
Anyway have you had a nice three weeks? How far have you got with reading my book? Let me guess......

Yeap, but its an historical thing. I've done it for the last four years. Ie four years ago I was too fat to fly.

I wish I had time to read jolly books, bigfella!
It's work work work!
