      More chance of winning the Euromillions in my opinion.

        ...and you're not even rich, not by MY standards anyway.

            My Plan B (more like D) is going very well, thanks for asking.
            I've got Bob to do the code monkeying while I do Speccing/QA.

                Well you'd know all about them.



                So you have given up coding already eh? These "Venture Capitalists" must be really thrilled that they have you "adding value" to the enterprise. You in charge of ordering stationery then?

                  Speaking of failures.
                  You just carry on winking and gurning. Coz that'll get you far.

                    Thought you wanted a month off to crack this code you were working on? A few days in and you realise it is beyond your meagre skillset, and you reach for the Bob hotline. Now THAT is failure on a grand scale.
