It depends on how high up the evil genius ladder you've climbed. At my level, gloating is the order of the day.

You may be a turd, Churchill, but at least you don't grovel.

Must be a permie.

I am now!

Grovelling little turd.

Real contractors eat cans of Stagg "Dynamite Hot" Chili.

If you're feeling broke, 92p gets you 4x Tesco Value Bitter which is proper fighting booze.

A nice piece of salmon, boiled new potatoes and a bottle of Jean-Marc Boillet Puligny Montrachet, 2000 preferably!!!

Or Bangers and Mash!!!!!!!!!!!

[boredsenseless]

1) 1.5 slices of wholemeal rye bread
2) one very small glass of red wine
3) dreams of glory

FFS -

1) Caviar
2) Good looking woman (or man if you happen to be a woman)
3) Champagne

Anything else is a disgrace to the race of contractors

Darmstadt is a chat-bot, and I claim my crisp fiver.

Nope, sorry- still looks like a complete non sequitur from here...

BTW, how well you need to cook meat depends primarily on how many pathogens you share with the animal. Cattle and sheep don't have very many, so you can undercook them fairly safely. Can't remember the last time someone caught something off a fish (sure there's a joke in there somewhere...). Pigs though, being physiologically similar to man, host a few things that can really spoil your day. Then again, underdone pork tastes horrible anyway.

I belive this is what he was trying to say...

Not quite sure why, but there you go.

You're not alone. At any given moment, somewhere in the world someone struggles with the same software design problems you have. You know you don't want to reinvent the wheel (or worse, a flat tire), so you look to Design Patterns--the lessons learned by those who've faced the same problems. With Design Patterns, you get to take advantage of the best practices and experience of others, so that you can spend your time on...something else. Something more challenging. Something more complex. Something more fun. You want to learn about the patterns that matter--why to use them, when to use them, how to use them (and when NOT to use them). But you don't just want to see how patterns look in a book, you want to know how they look "in the wild". In their native environment. In other words, in real world applications. You also want to learn how patterns are used in the Java API, and how to exploit Java's built-in pattern support in your own code. You want to learn the real OO design principles and why everything your boss told you about inheritance might be wrong (and what to do instead). You want to learn how those principles will help the next time you're up a creek without a design paddle pattern. Most importantly, you want to learn the "secret language" of Design Patterns so that you can hold your own with your co-worker (and impress cocktail party guests) when he casually mentions his stunningly clever use of Command, Facade, Proxy, and Factory in between sips of a martini. You'll easily counter with your deep understanding of why Singleton isn't as simple as it sounds, how the Factory is so often misunderstood, or on the real relationship between Decorator, Facade and Adapter. With Head First Design Patterns, you'll avoid the embarrassment of thinking Decorator is something from the "Trading Spaces" show. Best of all, in a way that won't put you to sleep! We think your time is too important (and too short) to spend it struggling with academic texts. If you've read a Head First book, you know what to expect--a visually-rich format designed for the way your brain works. Using the latest research in neurobiology, cognitive science, and learning theory, Head First Design Patterns will load patterns into your brain in a way that sticks. In a way that lets you put them to work immediately. In a way that makes you better at solving software design problems, and better at speaking the language of patterns with others on your team.

I've got some good tablets for that...

I like to fell my own prey but considering I'm an overweight bulldog, I'm considering the vegetarian option. Carrots are very slow runners I'm led to believe.

You might have problems with the beans though..

Bean, runners, gedit?

I'll get me coat....
