Pulling a Peter

Taking advantage of your boss being out of the office and 'working' from home.

Most likely to occur when one or more of these conditions are met (increasing likelihood if numerous conditions are met):

1. School holidays.
2. Man Utd. match the previous night.
3. Good Weather.
4. The 'electrician' has to call around.

Woman Teacher: "It's mid-term, will you 'work' from home tomorrow, pretty please?"
Man: "Of course, there's a United match on tonight; I'll pull a Peter on it!"

Lads in work: "So then, 20 quid says he'll end up pulling a Peter tomorrow"
