    lol

    Yes Mr Unix.
    That's exactly what I am doing.
    I have just come out of the public sector after 4 years and now playing about the the cool newish stuff.

    Follow the budget

    Bristol is surprisingly for Linux techy roles however having said that, my next role is in Southampton.

          You must be bad at googling

          bloodbath - Wiktionary

          search bloodbath etymology and it was the first result, let me know if you need to know what etymology means

            It's not a good definition is it.

            "Coined in 1867. Compound of blood and bath, the latter used to refer in the metaphorical sense to a deluge of a thing."

            How about Dickhead.

            "Coined in 2015 by Marillionfan a Poster of great regard on CUK an Internet forum of onanists & MF. Compound of Dick and head, used to refer to a poster called SimonMac offering no value whatsoever."
            What happens in General, stays in General.
            You know what they say about assumptions!

              Change it to "a Walter Mitty-esque poster of over inflated self worth" and I'll accept it
