    Doomed (possibly)

    Rather ... chances of getting an extension beyond March are low. The usual no-budgets-for-next-year-yet nonsense.

    Got offered a role in another project for the same client in Germany, but after my trip to DUS yesterday, I changed my mind. Life is too short to work in a tasteless, humourless, colourless and boring pile of a feck country Germany.

    Had a good run for 6 months, so contemplating a motorbike trip around Europe this summer, now that my back has improved

      Too bad, I did the same as you after I finished a project (in Turin though), just riding down to Sorrento (before going back to Spain on the boat).

      The motorbike (or in my case suzuki burgman) was terrible on the back I couldn't stay for longer than 2 hours on before doing some back exercises.

      I'd also warn you about Italian youth on the motorways who like to "play" with vehicles with foreign plates (i.e. overtake and pull in as close as possible), with the Italians I found, it's all about not losing face.

      But I'd love to do it all again.

        Is it because you are a fat and lazy contractor?

          I thought you were going to spend the summer as Dallas's sex slave?
