Bastard Operator From Hell

We call them offshore DBA's now.

I used to get FI when I was a permie.

As soon as I started contracting it stopped.

Wasn't Verity Stob one of the contributors, or am I conflating it with Computing etc. which also sent me mags for years.

I'm sure Verity went to the register for a bit as did the bastard operator from hell

IIRC Freelance Informer was given away free with Computing Weekly occasionally wasn't it? Or maybe my addled memory is tricking me.

I well remember the Pringle eating contest, who could eat the most in one mouthful at once. 35 won I think. I managed 15 and one chap in the office did 22.
