I was considering a £9.5k one a couple of years. Decided against it

You're appointing me Net Nanny? Coo, ta! Does it come with a hat wiv a
badge on? Whats the pay like? I'll obviously have to enforce your rules

Then perhaps you wouldn't have made yourself look such a twat with this
feeble attempt at humour.
