    But being intelligent, considerate folk, we just shook our heads sadly, and agreed not to embarrass her by ever bringing the matter up again.
    Is that the same sister that watches Coronation Street?

        Just asked the bimbo on the help-desk what does she think of Mensa. She replied that she is three days late this month.

            The very fact that someone decides to move from a salaried role to that of a contractor or consultant marks them out as being "above average". Above average intelligence probably, above average income usually but one thing is for certain, they are not average.

            I'm surprised you couldn't work that one out for yourself.
            Let's conveniently ignore all those freelancers out there who don't know their @rse from their elbow and have jumped on the contracting bandwagon eh?

            Still if you say so Mark then it must be the very fact.

            BTW does someone movng from contract to a salaried role make them below average hmmm? Who would be stupid enough to do that eh?

              We all have our reasons.

              Btw, I wondered how long it would be before you remembered the password.

                and talking about things we don't know, you and HRH (AKA "Quote n Post"?) seem to have some kind of extra background context in your exchanges, using each other's real names and so on. Did you two once share a room?

                    I quoted something that my grandfather once said as part of a post on CC.net. It was akin to "A leopard never changes it's spots" but with racial overtones.

                    "Jonners" and "Jakawanka" decided to partake in a little cyber bullying - a pitiful attempt I might add. I'd hoped they'd grown up a bit but unfortunately...

                      You! posting things with racial overtones?

                      Sorry I don't believe you.
