    AssGuru decided he was "gender fluid" and has made quite a speciality of rimming loo seats

    What about 8080 assembler?
    sorry, no.

    IBM mainframe assembler still comes in 'andy like, for systems programming, but REXX is better.
    not many people know that

    first few jobs are 1 liners with relevant experience.

    I can get it to 2 pages and get jobs.I'm that old they like to know which era I started and Dinosaur wrangling in the Triassic era seems to go down well.

    Thanks for the replies. I'm also thinking about the hiring bod at the client too. Getting to the stage now, where I started work before the last few finished junior school. Hasn't been an issue once I'm in the door, but in the next 5 or so years I'm going to have been working longer than some of them have been alive, which makes me feel old
