      It's tempting though.... This, Cirrus and Relaxed all got questionable post up it's highly possible I could be given extended leave yet
      Not trying to get you banned at all, was hoping for some of your usual fun comments. Sometimes you go a bit too far , but at the same time people do really need to learn.

        Many moons ago I was a permie at a godforsaken software house owned by a Basil Fawlty type who decreed no Kettles/Microwaves etc were allowed due to 'elf un safety' (= not wanting to pay to have them checked I imagine), so he had machines installed that supplied this type of p!ss awful coffee/tea, of course there was no free vend, 15p a cup (in fact even hot water to make your own drink was from this machine and was charged at the princly sum of 2 pence per cup)

              At IBM the microwave electricity supply was on a timer so you couldn't use it while the outsourced canteen was open and they charged 19p for hot water for a brew.

                I heard "they" have "reformed" you and that you have promised to be really polite, to everyone, from now on.

                  Well that still doesn't explain what I've done wrong

                    Well a little off topic but offering to review someones CV when you have to ask us about a fairly fundamental rule of CVs. Blind leading the blind really. But back to this thread.

                      Ah well.

                      You see - there is no God

                      And ... there is no R U L E O F C V s.

                      I was asking for people's opinions.
