    Did you offer to help them in anywya? Might have been a tad nervous with one or two (or more) folks watching.

      No, he loves inflicting it on me. Evrytime I have to go over I know i'm going to be there for at least an hour while he keeps going off at tangents leaving me clueless as to what he was on about . Worst of all, when I finally get back to my machine I never have a clue what it was I was doing before he scrambled my brain.

Given your size you would be making a wise move if you were to consider a move to Holland, where the average man is about 6ft3 and most things are built to accommodate much larger people than that.
        On a very different note but concerning the germanic size, it amazed me how the the Romans (average height 5'4") managed to thrash the german tribes who were generally about 6'.

        Yes I know Arminius wiped out 3 legions, but that was tactical cunning on his part (being Roman trained) and ineptitude on the part of Varro.

          Were you still billing for this time? If so then try to relax. Think about happy places..............like being stood in the corridor of the 17:29 from Swindon to Weston next to a fat sweaty flatulent yokel.
          There now...............is it working?
