wendigo100 has not been on for a while but I know he isn't from where this guy is supposed to come from.

MobileCheese, Burdock, Old Greg, Richard_af...

PLEASE tell me it;s not El Duder.

Can't be anyone from here as there are no IT experts on here...

According to Die Hard 4.0, there are no IT experts anywhere, except locked away in their bedrooms with the ability to hack into any network on earth. They can even re-direct power to their home whilst all the neighbours are still lights out. Not forgetting the ability to get connections to anywhere via a pda and some particularly open satellite systems. Almost makes the alien virus in Independence Day believable.

I must admit, those multi-screen arrays look kind of cool. Would be wasted on me though, my work ratio is sufficiently low so I can cope on just one monitor. Just doing my bit to save the planet.

I've just found out that it's me - which is strange as I didn't buy a ticket. It seems they just pull your email out at random. Right I'm off to tell this lot here where they can shove this job.

Lucky you. I only won £7.20. Am happier with the email I got than yours though

How right you are. They can always sniff out money.

You best be careful out in Manchester tomorrow though

Longer term I think hookers have a better ROI.

Hookers are certainly my future. For women I prefer to pay as I come, rather than commit to a long term contract, which always have some rather hefty get out clauses.

[Francko]

Christ, how I wish that was me.

I'd need to find a new woman to help me spend it though.

I thought AtW would be the only one to ask for that even if 6.5M were in his bank account.

[miffy]

I somehow think they'd find you!

[cue The Warriors soundtrack: "Nowhere to run to baby, nowhere to hide..."]

You'd be like Benny Hill with a pack of women chasing you, trying to get their gold-digger claws into your wallet.

...sorry for not contributing to the Friday Poetry Corner ... but somebody up there does like me ...

[Bumfluff]

Ok, it was me, I was luckier with those £30 worth of tickets I bought then I said.

Im only working as I feel its my duty to pay as much tax as I can

[Platypus]

from Derry ... buy a new home

A new home outside NI I presume!

I doth my Ferrari emblazoned cap to him.

Isn't there a law against IT experts buying lottery tickets ? He should give it all back to Hector. It's only "fair".
