    Er, were any other servers there named after Muppets?

      When I got my first contract it came with a long commute, so I looked for a cheap car to do it in and bought a Vectra. Spending half my life in a Vectra on the motorway seemed to be intrinsically linked to my new life as a contractor, so it seemed a good name for this forum.

      Don't have it anymore though.
      Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

          As a wendigo, I make people run so fast their feet burn off leaving charred stumps. Then I carry them up to great heights, drop them to their deaths, and eat them.

          It's a mucky old job but someone's got to do it.

            95 miles each way, which took 2 hours most the time. Now I do over 100 miles, but it's an easier trip and only 3 days a week.

                  Do you think I should trade in my 4x4 for a Vectra or a Passat?
