[Woundwort re-enters the Cantina, looks up the Boss, and submits his status report]

The remodeling work on the new Cantina is going quite well. It should be quite a place once it's all done.

I've downloaded the first batch of applicants. We have three guys looking for the bartender position... Ted Danson... Tom Cruise... and some Ferengi named Quark. Only Quark looks like he has any real potential, but I'm not too sure even of him.

Oh, and Raging Deadstar wants a job in Security for the new place, too.

Revenge is getting better!!

I have just one a small spat I was having against our local dairy.

I am a member of a charoty organisation and we recently held a beer festival in our town. As part of the promotional aspects, I organised with the local dairy to deliver flyers for the beerfest ie the milkmen would deliver a flyer to every house in town they drop milk too.

Good idea? I thought so and happily negotiated a �100 fee with the dairy for this service.

Result, only about 200 of 5,500 leaflets gots delivered. Most of the milkmen either forgot or threw the leaflet en masse into the B1N.

So, luckily, the beerfest went well (Great sponsorship from some brewers did it).

But, I had to recourse to the dairy and say, I want �85 back plus a contribution to the �100 cost of printing the leaflets as we couldn't arrange for alternative deliveries cos the bloody milkmen had disposed of the flyer.

It has taken 2 weeks of increasingly vitriolic correspondence, but the threat to highlight the story in the local press has resulted in a cheque for �200 from the dairy, but to be fair, as they delivere 200 flyers, I am spending them a cheque for �7.20 as recompense for that...

Bastards!, the world is full of bastards.

And on a nicer note, I gave a chap a lift to the garage on Saturday when I passed him on the road when he was broken down. He was very grateful, and I didnt think anything further of it until he turned up my house on Sunday with a rather nice bottle of wine for me, and a cheque for �100 towards our minibus fund.

He said he felt that was the cost of a roadside recovery, shouldn't benefit from my kindness and wanted to donate the money to a good cause.

There is SOME DECENCY left on this planet, not much, you have to dig deep to find it but it is there.

Hey Boss, have you heard this one?

Quote:

After a Beer Festival in London, all the brewery presidents decided to go out for a beer.

Corona's president sits down and says, "Se�or, I would like the world's best beer, a Corona." The bartender takes a bottle from the shelf and gives it to him.

Then Budweiser's president says, "I'd like the best beer in the world, give me 'The King Of Beers', a Budweiser." The bartender gives him one.

Coors' president says, "I'd like the best beer in the world, the only one made with Rocky Mountain spring water, give me a Coors." He gets it.

The guy from Guinness sits down and says, "Give me a Coke." The other brewery presidents look over at him and ask, "Why aren't you drinking a Guinness?" The Guinness president replies with a smile, "Well, if you chaps aren't drinking beer, why should I?"

So, [nodding towards the chaos centered on RD], what about his request for a security job?
