So you're putting yourself through hell for a dangling carrot that disappears over the horizon every time you get close enough to grab it?Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostAnd my prediction based on my decision not to move to the US is for early this year is that it's 'Thanks MF, here's your shares so far and BTW here's your new American replacement, sorry we have nothing in Europe'.

The cost of permiedom / politics and a growing company. Having done a job for a year and a half that no-one else wanted and a project that nobody expected to succeed as the buds of success flower so do the thieving bees and their nectar robbing snouts. 6000 miles and 8 hours time difference is proving impossible to swat the little feckers.Originally posted by Old Greg View PostSo basically a restraining order.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment

How about a nice game of chess?Originally posted by Old Greg View PostBudge up you lot. Last day of contract today and then it's bench time for me. 2 years and 5 months of commuting to London (1 3/4 hours each way but not all full time thankfully) has taken its toll, so looking forward to a few weeks off and see what the New Year brings.Comment

I'm positive there are comments regarding exactly that from earlier this year.Originally posted by mudskipper View PostSo you're putting yourself through hell for a dangling carrot that disappears over the horizon every time you get close enough to grab it?merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

I thought there was just petition from the people in the US to stop him going which had more signatures than the one from the UK trying to send him?Originally posted by eek View PostI believe MF know it was going to occur as soon as he decided not to go to the US.
