Ah, sorry to hear it Sarge. And good luck with the job hunt. --A thanks. hey it took 15 years of inmates for me to get burned out. not a bad run, eh? I got at least fifteen to go. :? LOL, know how you feel, 22 years and counting for me - still got at least 12 to go, or 20 if the Government don't ba...

Thanks Av. Been busy with life lately :biggrin: I'll pop in more often now though. still working at the prison? saw Rush last night excellent show. Hi Sarge, yup still working at the prison.

Should be in Florida at the moment on holiday, but we had to cancel due to my son having an emergency removal of his appendix. Op went well, and he's recovering well, but really disapointed not to be in Florida. Re-booked for next year though, so the countdown begins again. One thing this has taught...

Not been on the Watch recently, so just catching up with this. As a proud Scot, and Scottish Nationalist Party supporter, I was totally devastated that the people of Scotland voted "No". The outstanding questions of currency, the EU, Nato etc. that were there before the vote were, of cours...

Not one stand out team yet, in my opinion.
Germany, Brazil, Argentina, France and Holland could all win it.
Columbia would be my dark horses to sneak a win.

Phantasm - great news! is it possible for me to get a patch from your new unit? the last one you sent is on display here in my office. no word about the job yet. but have been informed my current unit will be getting a brand new kitchen at some point in the near future. almost makes me want to stay...

Good luck Sarge, hope you get the job. I'm going to be working at H.M.P.Grampian for a few months - which is in my home town of Peterhead, about 170 miles north of Glasgow. It's a brand new prison, and they were looking for managers to help out in the first few months. Went for an orientation visit ...

Anyone play this on their phone or tablet?

I started playing because my kids had heard of it through their friends and put it on their Ipods, and am now slightly addicted.

Finished "The books of the North". Thoroughly enjoyed them - kind of like the Malazan series. I was having problems locating "The books of the South" as my library didn't have them (what kind of library only gets the first book in a series?) then decided to check out a disc of ki...

Having worked over new year, tonight is my new year. Wife and kids are in France until Sunday, so sitting here with the dog, having some beers and a very nice malt whisky or three (Talisker - yum) Starship troopers is on the telly in 5 minutes (having watched Aliens last night), I'm loving being in ...

Happy new Year folks, hope 2014 brings you nothing but good fortune and good company.

Based on your collective recommendations, I've just ordered this from the library.
