      I don't remeber being abusive.

      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

        Oh I don't know - you're not very nice to Stephanie most of the time!

          Oh well never mind, I've no been to Munich before, meeting new people is always more interesting to me... rather then these winging Londoners and their crunch.. Gordon Bennett my ears a bleeding listening to it.

            Yep market seems to be picking up. Had several calls this week, so far I'm in for 4 jobs.. one is a perm job which I've now got a confirmed interview for. Normally I wouldn't consider a perm job but this one is quite a fantastic opportunity if it was a foot in the door so I'm willing to go along and see what happens.

                How do you know that?

                  The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

                  But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                    For what I do the market rate is about £750 a day. Currently just below that with an extension in the offing.

                      Because anything less isn't worth the hassle.
