I'm probably both in fairness. But then again, do long posts really count as humour?

No, but I do appreciate all your efforts in extending this thread. Keep up the good work!

It did occur to me that I could lock the happy thread til this one catches up, but even my OCD doesn't stretch that far... :)

Annoying me today are people who moan about how broke they are and how careful they have to be and how they are going to struggle to pay their bills then waltz back after lunch with three dresses and a pair of boots which look exactly like three other pairs that they own.

Yep, a guy I work with said to me recently that he was "struggling to keep a roof over his head" and then the same afternoon recounting anecdotes of his last drunken night out the weekend before.

I dunno. My company does that with buying a bicycle. I felt kinda put out that I can't take advantage as my knee is too blocked with scar tissue to cycle.

It wouldn't be tax free, it would be a benefit in kind, and therefore taxed and NI'd just the same as salary. Unless you only lived in it when you were on the Job/on call. Oh unless you are a Tax inspector and then you can set up a Company, and claim your spare room as an office, and get to set off loads of home expences directly against your earnings! (you can do this, even if you are not a tax inspector, but then they have all sorts of other rules that apply to prove your badges of trade)

Ok, whose going to use the on the Job reference as a funny jape about nic first? My moneys on Boner, as he knows all about humour, apparently.

According to wiki, the 'blank post' trend of 2012 was an example of 'Pregnant Pause', combining it with repetitive structure, continually alluding that the format of joke would change - but never actually changing it. Whether this was funny or not, was not available on wikipedia.
