Cyberman had an Indian mother? Who gave him BJs?

Didn't you know? I thought everyone knew. That's why he has an Indian 'chutney spoon' licking fetish.

I know dear boy, frightening isn't it? Can I suggest you lie down in a dark room, with a damp facecloth on your forehead for an hour or so.

I hope you feel better.

Zippy I would quite seriously rather talk about anything other than how Cyberman's indian mother gave him BJs.

HTH

Too late for AndyW option. Darn it, I'm slipping.

Yep. I can't vote on that technicality.

For instance?

For instance the planning and management of projects (which I've done before - a lot). You get to talk to people and get out of the office a bit more.

I do see your point there ..

OK. I've found Jobserve to be pretty useless for finding the kind of jobs I'd be a good fit for. I'm a developer but don't eat, sleep and dream code so want something a bit more varied. Luckily my last two jobs have come via direct contact from agents who knew me.

Looking over the last few weeks there has been precious little that has grabbed me and I don't expect that to change any time soon.

For instance?

In my area J2EE I see about 10+ jobs that fit my profile, both contract and permy every day without including the banking ones. Trouble is most are way down south and while I don't mind working down there it is just such a long way to drive for an interview.

Only been looking for 3 weeks and had an interview for one last week but got under cut on rate by a code wallah and my rate was really an average for the location.

Looks like all these banks are hiring again as I'm seeing a lot of Java roles for them both contract and perm. Unfortunately I've got zero banking and being 40 probably the wrong age for them... To be honest working in a bank does not exactly get my juices flowing anyhow.

I never saw my thread coming to this.

It's awful, isn't it?

33 posts and no n@rks, no NSFW, no , no AndyW option ...

... you really must try harder.

To be fair, it is slightly less depressing than a conversation about Jobserve. And you did get a few serious replies.

Your Indian mother gave you BJs?

That would explain an awful lot about your personality.
