Sorry I don't believe you.

I quoted something that my grandfather once said as part of a post on CC.net. It was akin to "A leopard never changes it's spots" but with racial overtones.

"Jonners" and "Jakawinka" decided to partake in a little cyber bullying - a pitiful attempt I might add. I'd hoped they'd grown up a bit but unfortunately...

and talking about things we don't know, you and HRH (AKA "Quote n Post"?) seem to have some kind of extra background context in your exchanges, using each other's real names and so on. Did you two once share a room?

We all have our reasons.

Let's conveniently ignore all those freelancers out there who don't know their @rse from their elbow and have jumped on the contracting bandwagon eh?

Still if you say so Mark then it must be the very fact.

BTW does someone movng from contract to a salaried role make them below average hmmm? Who would be stupid enough to do that eh?

Btw, I wondered how long it would be before you remembered the password.

Ok sunshine, here we go. This is an "IT Contractors Forum", populated by IT contractors(ex, current and wannabes), IT Consultants, Rec Cons, and jobbing carpenters/lisping idiots like yourself.

The very fact that someone decides to move from a salaried role to that of a contractor or consultant marks them out as being "above average". Above average intelligence probably, above average income usually but one thing is for certain, they are not average.

I'm surprised you couldn't work that one out for yourself.

Just asked the bimbo on the help-desk what does she thinks of Mensa. She replied that she is three days late this month.

Power corrupts. Knowledge is power. Study hard. Be evil.

My sister was, and possibly still is, a member of Mensa. She kept it quiet from the rest of the family for nearly fifteen years, fearful of being mocked, until her husband accidentally mentioned it.

But being intelligent, considerate folk, we just shook our heads sadly, and agreed not to embarrass her by ever bringing the matter up again.

Is that the same sister that watches Coronation Street?

Good God no.

I'm bright enough to know not to join Mensa. The same applies to the Freemasons.

As my friend says "this just means that you haven't been asked"

(No I haven't been asked either)
