The fact there is support on here behind all the banter is reassuring.

Very true. Though usually to get a sensible reply in general requires 9 rubbish answers.

Thanks GJABS, you don't get an offer like that every day.

of course now you're spouting poetry, GJABS takes an interest.

What is the difference between in-laws and outlaws?

Outlaws are wanted.

my wife keeps criticising my family. So I challenged her to stop being so negative. Say something positive, I said.

She agreed. My inlaws are nice than hers.

Thanks GJABS, you don't get an offer like that every day. I was in Farnborough last month for a permie job interview at BAE head office. It was me versus a string of internal candidates so you can probably guess the outcome.

Raytheon and CGI are currently expanding ruthlessly, I suggest you try with them (perm).

Hmmm, well this is all embarrassing. I'd like to reply to everyone individually but I'm overwhelmed by the response.

Glad you're back, can we now berate you for being so irresponsible by scaring and putting us through that, don't ever do that again or so help me god I will kill you!

Thanks for the offer SimonMac, I keep trying to convince my wife that euphanasia is the way to go but she'd rather carry on suffering as my partner even after all these years.

If you’re laughing, you’re not crying!

That's why I'd rather have bipolar than unipolar depression. The trouble with bipolar is you can be treated as a risk to other people. In hindsight nuclear safety was not the most sensible career choice.

I'm sorry, and I know this speaks volumes about me but I just can't take your posts seriously. If you really are taking the piss with all this then you really are a sick puppy.

I'm 100% sure that your family would rather be broke and have you than be financially better off and not have you
