Keep it coming kids
I haven't seen this many smilies and light heartedness all week, it's good to see

Anywho,
If only I could close the roof with the key fob (what's the part No. Oracle??) I could purchase $2 worth of chips, sit them in the car (which has been fitted with drop sheets..eew) and press the button to see how many seagulls I could catch

Ooh Ooh, if we got 4 cabrios, we could play a really slow version of hungry, hungry hippo (at least until someones battery died )

Well, I must say that I'm getting dangerously close to the technical term (and yes I'm serious) of "acting on a frolic" which comes under vicarious liability in the Aust pub service Act - so I had better get back to work

Seeing that out the window would be enough to make a cabrio driver have a nervous breakdown

Ha ha ha

But acting on a frolic can get you the sack Contrary to popular belief, public servants can and do get the sack. Something like 75 people were fired last year and another 70 something left voluntarily as they would have been fired. Once your fired from the Aust public service (APS), you can never be re-employed in the APS

There must be some established guidelines as to what constitutes "acting on a frolic" what are they?
It would be so open to interpretation

Yes, and what's worse is that technically, the APS ACT covers APS employees at all times, not just when we're at work. So technically standards of behaviour apply when we're not technically working.
