How are things over in the ball bearings factory?
Iāve heard of people whoās pay was cut but so was the time they were working. Doing the same for less pay is bollox unless the company is on the brink or something

Trying to run a small empire from an ould badly insulated corner office in the garageā¦
With the ould fella dropping in for a chat in the mornings and expecting a deep conversation on the price of manure. The wife and her never ending lishteen of jobs for doing around the place and the kids running amok in the afternoons.
