I'm intrigued though, how long did it take you to suck your way into being trusted with programming a computer?

LOL.

I am afraid I am like Sasguru. I moved off being a programmer a lonnnnnnnggggg time ago. I just happen to be a senior manager who when push comes to shove can bodge a solution together and take any type of Project/Program/BA/Technical Architect/Modeller/Developer I choose.

Frankly. I bloody hate IT these days.

Anyway, I there should be some vacancies here tomorrow
