    LOL - Hmm or implants? You get more cash per round that way. So I am told. Any how you have hairy nipples and sweaty palms and youll be able to double the rate.

          Whatever you do, don't shave your bottom crack...
          Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

              Well I've only applied for 3 roles since just being benched end of 2008, heard back from one and am still waiting. Had a semi-interview with a consultancy yesterday evening for a 1-2 year project with a major German car manufacturer (they have quite a few roles going) but not too sure whether to take it. I kind of lost part of the flow when he said that the first 8 hours of the first month (I think it was month, I started chocking on my tea) I would not charge and thereafter 4 hours a month (I hope it was a month and not a week) would also be free. I argued the point with him but that is how they sell freelancers to the company (their own consultants are different.) Its a bit of a strange job and a number of the aspects we discussed were not in their proposal (such as COBOL in an application programming side of things whereas I only know it on a systems programming side of things) so I'm not too sure.

              Also had a big conference call with clients in the USA last night and things are going ahead there so maybe I can knock this on the head.
              Dont fancy your chances as you are in Germany which is really starting to reel from the recession - maybe the USA client will bring you luck though.

              There are some Mainframe requiements where I am but sorry its not in Germany.

              Good Luck !

                    Who often claimed to be gay. But then went on about fancying women too. One can never tell with cuk posters if they are trolling or not. Except me. I never lie.

                      So do they want everyone to sit around watching teletubbies all day?
