go make some coffee, print out something and sit "analysing" it for a while

tutt and mutter a bit then pick up the piece of paper, and go for a walk ... to find the person responsible for the problem you have found on the paper.. goto your car, drive to the nearest car park, goto sleep for an hr

good idea Jacko, my sunglasses are rosy/pink not too dark, so that may work
Or you could just stay online chatting to me

How are things with you? which part of the country are you based at now?

Hallo Dear,

Based in Bristol at the 'mo but not sure how long it's going to last. Probably looking for something else in the New Year.

I'll be on and off all day but I've got a deadline to meet so it'll be sporadic.

Aaaaah, deadlines, I miss them, and a proper analysis.... here all they seem to be interested in is coding in the interview and in my contract my role is a BA, but when I arrived they wanted me to do both a BA and a coder role

Interesting... always had you down as more of a turkey fan but that might be slightly cannibalistic I suppose.
