Thanks for playing though.

I think it's because deep down you realise you're not really in my league, at the age I was wrestling with Shannon's seminal paper, you were reading the Beano.

Who the f@@k would leave a first world country to go and live/work in a country where they do not speak the language?
You are a "guest worker". It will take your family at least a generation to get back to the social status you have left behind in the UK. Only someone who was struggling would do that to his kids.
From that I conclude you were a loser in the UK. Therefore, your opinion is not relevant.
yes, agreed, and if it was a 1st world country we wouldn't have been attracted abroad by opportunities
Regarding,
"It will take your family at least a generation to get back to the social status you have left behind in the UK",
well that one never crossed my mind, and not sure what to say to it - does not compute.

I still visit my client once a month-so I get to socialise with big city slickers like you. You make me laugh- you talk like a winner but you're a long way from that. Has your chess program made a move yet?

And you "unretired" to so something dull like code maintenance? Really? Why?
You come across as not very bright to be honest. Your "solution" to post-Brexit is to do roughly the same as what we were doing pre-Brexit?
TBH, the stench of loser that emanates from you is overwhelming. You're one of these support staff you're talking about, are you not?Last edited by sasguru; 11 July 2017, 13:55.

Roughly it's a pyramid. The few at the top make the most money. Those on the level below contributed to that work but get paid a bit less. However, their contribution is more fungeable. Keep going down the pyramid until you find sassy selling cakes to interns. Everybody makes money inversely in proportion to his fungeability. As more money comes in, people decrease their capacity.

Originally posted by Fronttoback View PostBut it's right. The big money is made at the top. That requires support staff at many tiers. Once the big money goes, support staff start getting chopped. I've done 20+ years in the banks. I'd love your version...

The irony is strong with this one.
