Perhaps Barney Gumble is Milhouse from the future?

I'm still trying to work out what character I'm like, I'm a bit Marge, a bit Lisa and a bit Smithers.

Almost every job I've had there's been a chap there who reminds me of him.
Anyone else have this?

Yes.

I think that is a standard if you do IT work.

With the exception of Burns, cannot think of a simsons stereotype i have not personally met in real life

One of my clients, the head honcho is regularly referred to as Mr. Burns.

Not too loudly though.

I guess I forgot to include the sarcasm smiley in my original post.
