Yeah right. They're just choosing the most fiscally-irresponsible guy they can find so they have an excuse to close this plant

Irresponsible financialy am I? Hmmmm...How about you know what your talking about before you judge. Did you take into consideration that I'm 28 years old and that I lended the guy the money because I already had it? And I also lended it to him because I could afford it? And why do you think my friend thought of asking me and not someone else?

Right on man, thats exactly how we make GRINDING WHEELS.

Good for you Spec! I say take the job. It's valuable experience regardless of any other considerations.

I'm not judging, I'm taking the piss It's called being English!

Taking the piss...How does that apply here?

[Q] From Stephen Balkam: “Could you throw some light on to the origin of taking the piss? My (English) wife seemed to think it meant actually being made to drink someone else’s urine.”
[A] Nothing literal about this one, you will be pleased to hear. It’s usually said that the phrase derives from an older one, piss-proud, which refers to having an erection when waking up in the morning, which is usually attributed to a full bladder (proud here being an obvious pun on its senses of something raised or projecting and of something in which one may take satisfaction).
It’s first recorded, as so many such indecorous expressions are, in Francis Grose’s A Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue; in the second edition of 1788 he wrote: “Piss-proud, having a false erection. That old fellow thought he had an erection, but his — was only piss-proud; said of any old fellow who marries a young wife”.
This developed into a figurative sense of somebody who had an exaggerated idea of his own importance. So to take the piss is to deflate somebody, to disabuse them of their mistaken belief that they are special. It’s not recorded before the beginning of the twentieth century.

What am I exagerating? I'm not special, I'm ''different'' that's all.

See, this is why the English and the French don't get along (even if you're just a colonial).

[Spec]

I get along, you dont.

You're like my ex, I get along with her, she doesn't get along with me.

Great to hear that, man! Good luck with the job, and may that future final promotion to the top be as close as possible.

The others are just jealous of your success. I applaud it. (I also hope to hit you upfor charity in the future.)

And now you can afford to go to Apolycon...
