Yep. The company I worked for was very good about it though - they happily lied to the mortgage company, and inflated my alleged wage by 25% to help me get the loan. Hence the lack of furniture, food, and so on. Looking back on it, the only thing I regret is that I should have borrowed a air-bed that didn't have a slow puncture... :laugh:
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together. Manfred R. Bihy: "Looks as if OP is learning resistant."

After one drunken night out a mate and myself were back at a friends house where we were stopping, they had a double airbed on the living room floor for us, and we took turns in working the foot pump to blow it up. I am not sure exactly how long we were trying to get it up (ooh er) by vigorous pumping (matron) until it was noticed that the stoppers we not in and we had just been pumping air straight through the thing. To be honest, the two of us should have known to sort out accommodation properly before drinking, when we were 16 we went on a cycling / camping holiday in Devon. Got to the field, went to the pub, got drunk, came back to the field and put the tent up. It was only when it rained and we got soaked that we realised we had put the tent up inside out.
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

You think I left it down the couch, or behind the fridge? :laugh: If you mean was the house re-possessed by the mortgage company, then no - I lived there for twenty odd years.

:-D I remember a bunch of us went to a bike rally (the third Bulldog Bash I think) and we had 'Ston with us - he had decided to save money by not buying a fly sheet... Saturday night it tipped it down. Come Sunday morning we had the fun of watching 'Ston stagger from the tent and try to wring out his sleeping bag before he packed it to go home. The tent resembled a paddling pool more than anything and he never did get round to taking it down before he left.

Workling in IT sometimes makes me feel like I am the only man in a world of autistic pansies. :) --edit-- Probably because I came form mech aero engineering into SW later in life. Nowt more macho than mech aero! :)
============================== Nothing to say.
I worked in manufacturing (chemicals, electronics, metal rolling, etc.), designing and implementing production control and supporting systems along with engineers and the shop floor (plus shop stewards). I would agree, far more macho than, say, insurance services. But autistic pansies! What sector are you working in? :)

Biggish company? Only SW houses I've worked for were smallish concerns, where the boss man's own money was at stake. Concentrates the mind. :)
