    Last day of the 9 to 5 today (well, the 10.30 to 6.30)

    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

      The ultimate Friday Lunchtime session !!

      Enjoy the day, Cals.
      I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

      I am not a number, I am a free man.

                  Are you retiring completely?

                      It had crossed my mind what a ****** it would be to be knocked off on the way home today!

                      Taking the rest of the year off, certainly... (I love saying that)...

                      Then there is a particular thing I could do a few times a month from next year on a freelance basis (at a couple of organisations encountered via work) if so inclined.

                      But otherwise, yes - handing back the security pass and the work SIM card & Blackberry later today!

                        I suspect I shall be there for about an hour so there might not be time! Then it's orff to lunch with immediate colleagues/team-members...

                          Er, scroll to D Express down the page ...

                          The suspension of Ken Livingstone and the row within the Labour Party about accusations of anti-Semitism dominate the front pages.

                            Working on the basis that the opposite of what the D Express says is usually the true position, I'll take that, cheers Z

                                I'll add my congratulations and best wishes. You may think you will now have time to read all those books and listen to all those CDs. You won't, you'll be too busy.
