    No idea.

    I'm on a project with no decent internet access, spies everywhere, a team lead who hates contractors, and a project manager who wants to getrid of me (not contractors, specifically me).

    I have no internet access where I stay, apart from my useless 3 USB modem, which works rarely and then needs to reconnect.

    I have no inclination to post on CUK outside of work time, really, and not at the weekends.

    I am very busy with my current plan B, which I spent a fair amount of time on in my summer holiday. And on a good night I spend another 4 hours on it, so I don't want too many more distractions.

    And I've proved that I can stay away if I really want to (although not to the extent that Wendigo has managed this year!).

    So, I'll probably duck in every now and then, but while I'm on this project it's not going to be anywhere near my peak time of over 150 posts a day.
    Ah I see, head down, professional at all times and you'll be ok Faq.
    That boy go raaaaaaa

        They managed to find time to give her a scan, and it turns out she's got gallstones

        Still, at least they know what it is now, and are giving her pain relief - the GPs were still mucking about with irrelevant antibiotics and things before she had to go to hospital yesterday

        My dad helpfully pointed out to me that as he's had them, and now she has, I'll almost certainly have to go through it all in a few years

        Anyway, we're still waiting to hear from the consultant what they plan on doing about it, so fingers crossed
        Hope she gets through it well, I'm sure the TPD crowd will all say the same.

              Glad to hear they've identified the problem, and I wish her a speedy recovery.

              Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

                    Katie is the young lady to whom you refer - she's not been seen since CM chased her away in July
                    Evening, NF!

                    Ah yes, the lovely Katie. Did anyone find out who he really was?

                    Sorry to hear about your mum - at least they know what it is, though and can start treatment.

                    Do we still do manly s? Oh, I feel like a newbie all over again. Maybe I should move onto an alternative user - TheWikirMan??

                      How are you?
                      Evening, ED

                      I should be working now, but I can't be bothered. Will have to take this laptop home this weekend and get some more plan B done at the airport...
