    Well, I was already contracting 20 years ago.

    If I could go back over 20 years (not 10) I would have studied law instead of IT and never entered this "profession".

        That sounds interesting. Care to illucidate?
        Nothing that exciting. Just a few times when I've woken up with nasty hangovers or got in arguments with girlfriends or talked nonsense and suffered a loss of dignity. Could quite happily have done without those - and could have been avoided by a bit of moderation.

        But I think it's called growing up as you start to realise these things.

          You were a churchgoer?

            Yeah sorry, until I actually started to think about it. Then I decided I didn't want to belong to a homophobic, misogynistic and bigoted club.

                No need to apologise. You saw the light of His Noodly Appendage and crossed over to 'the one true faith'.

                    Actually no CofE, however the church I went to was one of those Young Earth, literal interpretation tulip.

                    Was brought up that way, so was quite difficult to break the spell.
