Tulip is the word the forum's swear filter uses when it sees, in this case, a four letter word beginning with "S" that means excrement.

It substitutes other swear words for other flowers.

Makes it much harder to put up with the tulipe from the full time gig...lower rate, smaller project, not really my core skillset.

I'll put up with double bubble for as long as I can I suppose!

Congratulations

Well done, happy days. I'm close to securing a gig for end of Jan (when current gig finishes). 50% rate increase but only 4 days a week but still more than I get now. Almost boomed
