    FFS. General just reminds me of that Haribo adverts at the moment. You know it's an adult that's speaking but what you hear is a kid's voice.

      You can easily do that.... It was why I used it as an example.

      It also works in reverse. To avoid upsetting any firm in Wales the development agency outsourced their system development to people in Sunderland

        Or, you know, whatever seems appropriate. Play it by ear. On reflection, hell may not be the best thing to give them; at least, not right off the bat. Use your best judgement.

          Hardly asked me any questions and it was clearly obvious that they wanted a Dutch speaker and only interviewed me because the London head office told them too.

            Sound advice from NF as ever!

            Oddly, I don't want the job. I want to go away and do something else. But the money is too good.

            At some point I am going to have to get off the treadmill.

              I remember when I was 9 a bull escaped and had to be shot. The farmer on whose land it was shot on objected to the blood on her land. The other farmer pointed out she should be grateful.
              I think it depends on what the animal has been eating. Animals eating plants have lovely nutritious urine full of goodness, animals eating meat less so.

                The Dutch are the worst in comparison with the French and Germans.

                  Its the same in Ireland, a preference will be given to anyone who speaks Irish.

                      Try imagining them speaking like Alvin and the Chipmunks, much more entertaining.
