Sorry matey you're wrong. Also, for safety every if should have an else.

Woof!

If (Spod != Churchill)
{
cerr "Pull the other one, matey!";
return 1;
}
else cout "well bugger me!";

Happy now

And don't ask me to create a class called 'Spod' or make a function call!

The rate for senior bulltulipters is going through the roof. See there's a UK wide skills shortage in those that can lie, bulltulip and generally tell porkies. Most have left the country, many to Denmark and other mainland European destinations.

Hey, hey... in one week he became a senior developer.

.NET is too hard for C++ programmers. I would suggest Java, but 20th century technology is so, well 20th century.

PS. Earning £800/day doing .NET is not all that anyway. Better to find happiness in art, love and poetry.

It was £500 a day the other week. Mind you I could make £800 a day selling the bullsh1t spouted here

The last Ada work I did was on the 'mainland', in France, are they using Ada for non defence stuff these days !? I think the rates are rubbish in the UK as its all basically controlled by a handful of defence contractors. Everything for BAe was paying the same rate the last time I looked into it.

Still mostly defence. BAe still rubbish rates, just got asked if I would take 27.50 to work in Brough. They would have to pay me that to visit Brough, never mind work there. Best I saw was 35 an hour last year for AMS in Pompey.

I dont think BAe will ever learn.

Mainland Europe.Not worked in the UK sinc 98. Worked in ADA all that time. Lowest rate was 37.50 highest was 52, though I did do a 12 month fixed price job that I finished 2 months early on so the rate for that would have looked good.

>ADA is paying a decent 40-45 quid an hour on the mainland.

Mainland ? To be honest I haven't followed it but it was stuck at 30 an hour for years. I'd be interested if I could get a cushy 45 an hr never ending ADA job.

> C, C++, ADA, PERL - you'll make a fortune!

Done all them. I'll give you 15% of the fortune if you sort me out the work.

ADA !? Thats about the lowest paid skill out there, I wisely got out of that 10+ years ago.
