Trouble is I work for the pond life!

Thats on you fella, only you can better yourself. Your company has ripped the whole out the industry and cant cope without cheap labour. Survival of the fittest sadly

Probably not but if I did I would keep a liitle here just to keep me in beer thats living allright!
