I can't see a smirk like that without wanting to wipe it off, preferably by voting the smirker out of office by a landslide.

Not my pay grade, the brief is "remove all crass tacky shit" and I'm on it to the letter. Don Cordonnole better not walk in while I'm at it, just in case.

I'd love that job. It's all stuck on with double sided tape. Two hours just sliding a scraper under each edge and flicking, job done, bill for the day and go home.

Almost applied myself before the carpentry apprenticeship came through. There's a few firms who will happily employ anyone who can usefully wield a drill driver and turn up on time, because all they have to do is put up the support struts and panels, then the electrician wires it all up.

This is one big reason it's popular in Germany. There's a lot of people getting paid to put solar panels up round here.

Excellent rec, and if you liked it then The Guard (also starring Brendan Gleeson) is another one to look out for. Sample quote: "So you had gay guys in the IRA?"
"Sure and it was the only way we could infiltrate the MI5."

(nerd hat firmly on) Diziet Sma in UoW has a very sarcastic close protection drone which at one point, when the (anti-)hero has survived being reduced to a head on life support, buys him a gift. It's a hat.

I'm slightly doubting my memory, it might have been Use of Weapons by the same author, but he's definitely had someone read it to him or whatever because he's previously referenced the ship names a few times. Doesn't seem to have thought at all deeply about it, though.

This is the concept of "slap-droning", lifted directly from The Player Of Games by Iain M Banks, which Mollusk clearly didn't understand properly.
