thank you Winston

Milan.

Do you want to be on the bench in Jan, though?

I wouldn't mind but I won't turn any work down if it's offered as it's daily commutable ( just ! ). I've got a couple of building projects to keep me busy once I am on the bench.

ps. ".NET - It's the future!!!"

[Churchill]

Oi Milan!!! Congrats.

At least we've been spared your usual bollocks and wringing of hands.

"Oh lads, I don't know what I'm going to do, I've only got nine months of my contract left and it doesn't look like the client is going to extend"

"Oi lads, great news, I've got a new contract!!! It's only down the road and they're going to pay me Gazillions!!!"

".NET - It's the future!!!"

As I said, at least you spared us this time.

Won't you, er, die?

I don't know. Most likely. Very few have beaten that particular hurdle in life.

But if I die while driving that car, I am sure my last state of mind is exhilaration and happiness.

I plan to delay that event a bit though. By having a healthy dose of fear and respect for the car and mainly driving it when traffic is less murderous, ie. Saturday and Sunday mornings. And I plan on having the car and me become friends slowly at some advanced (race?) driving courses.

Ohh and I plan to wear a helmet.

I think my car

This one is going to be a big mess, not sure if I'm better off out of it with my feet up. My contract currently ends in 3 weeks, go live is over xmas !!!

Sounds familiar. Why do they always pick Christmas? Why not the end of November? Gits.

I've told em it potentially doesn't work with the new stuff and they are upgrading to the latest new stuff but they have chosen to ignore. The official stance is 'not supported' rather than it doesn't work. I've sent plenty of emails covering my behind.

Does that work with the new stuff, or are you talking 4.x?

Well done. The fools are still persisting then, when do you think they'll realise it doesn't work ?

Not sure I want an Exten-SHUN but looks like I'll get one anyway. Just got roped into some Business Connector work ( as in .Net Business Connector )against my better judgement.

Due to my 3 months .net extension I will most likely buy this little firecracker.
