    Don't they have some SCM tools (like SourceUnSafe or SVN). Just export the damn changelog and email it to everyone and leave.

      Or you could just throw a few quirky bits in the code that don't really affect the functionality but do annoying things like randomly flash up "Joe Bloggs is a thieving tw*t". If you set it up in the same way as subliminal advertising was supposed to work then maybe you'll manage to make everyone agree without quite knowing why...

      Subscribe his email address to loads of dodgy sites.

      Hand out his phone number to loads of shifty companies.

      Find out his home address and fake a letter from the VD clinic addressed to his missus advising her that as her husband/partner is a roaring filthy whore she should get herself checked out.

          Thank you! Being female, it comes naturally and I like to practise my talents as often as possible.

          Now if I could just make money out of it...

            I am led to believe it is very easy to make money out of being female.

                  McQ, why didn't you simply tell the manager that as you wrote it, if they have any queries with using the code after you have left, he is welcome to give you a quick phone call?

                    I'd leave the code exactly as it is (no point getting fired in your next job for something you did in your last... ).

                    However just before you I would tell the toe-rag (in a 'slightly anxious' way), that you weren't able to iron-out all the bugs and there's one or two 'glitches' in it that he'll have to deal with. Be vague about what and where they are.

                    That ought to get the old sphincter muscles twitching...
