Good plan. Increases the average IQ of Britain too!

There are many examples in demographic and economic studies suggesting that migration almost always benefits both the country of origin and the host country, and given the chronic shortage of comedy acts in Germany, I'm sure that Suity is no exception to this rule.

Does your contract cover flights? Glad to hear it's not all doom and gloom!

I increased the day rate accordingly, yes. It's not all doom and gloom. In fact I think you might all be proud of me. Day 1 they asked me to do the impossible. We need to make the tool do x,y,z.

Wow I thought, that's really pushing the tool in the wrong direction and fighting an uphill battle. OK I thought, let's see.

2 weeks later and they already asked the Vendor if it was possible before I got here, and handed me the email threads so I could pursue the Vendor will doing my own R&D.

The Vendor is still puzzling over it. Yours Suitily slamduncked it yesterday and I'm writing a whitepaper on it.

Oh and this is .Net 4, C# and SQL Server 2008, within the Vendor framework. So guess what, I can resurrect my coding skills, and what better way to do it than when asked to produce a miracle.

Suity, we are proud of you every day, just with any other "special" person who manages to dress them selves and get their shoes on the right feet

I'm writing a whitepaper on it.

I'm good at writing those.

Nearly as good as I am at making empty wine bottles.

On 12 July 2008 Barth established a new world record in the category "live-comedy with the largest audience" as he performed in front of 70,000 people in Berlin. Until then the record was 15,900 comedy-visitors at a show by the US-comedian Chris Rock in London

Except he's tulip...

Dude, think about this, who are you asking here

When you get the car repaired have a look at European cover. Cant be more that £50 / year.

Boom ... this is what we have been waiting for. SY to come riding in and get the client out of trouble.

Did you make sure your car insurance covers you for EU?

[d000hg]

I was sure you said you didn't want to get back into coding a while ago, and had a go at those who suggested it was the obvious route. Glad to see you considered our advice more fully in the end...

The client might prefer to get back into trouble after Suity's finished.

This I did do. Cost me an extra £100 for the 3 months. And I even put one of those GB stickers on the back of my car when I first got to France.
