And you are lacking a sense of humour and irony but make up for it with an impressive display of pomposity.
(and I doubt that a 10 mega-tonne bomb could burst your bubble).
PS. Not everything you read here happens in real life, just in case it hasn't dawned on you yet..
Oh and I noticed that you posted the above and immediately logged off and ran for it..."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

No but I bet you did'nt give it away to charity either you hypocrite?Originally posted by Jeff Maginty View Post
I used to be a contractor and rode the wave of the late 90's boom (Y2K + dot com), so I've seen what it's like to earn a fat contract rate. I didn't go out and waste my money on flash cars or get drunk on champagne like some were doing, .
Buying champagne and flash cars gives jobs to farmers and shop floor workers who are quite capable of deciding for themselves if they want to engage with an entrepreneur and work for them. As Cojak says what pomposity!Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment
