Well she did tell me a short, fat bloke with a piss stain down his McDonalds trrousers tried to chat her up, so possibly.

Well that's SimonMac for you, always on the pull.

If the job takes more than an hour to run it will fall over?!

I think he means that it will fall over if the last batch hasn't run and the xml confirming that hasn't been recieved, which suggests a rather cranky solution with dodgy exception handling. GOOD! RUN IT! MAKE IT BREAK! Then I can add a critical issue and send an invoice! Yippee!

I've got an e-mail from Bob and I nearly understand it;

He is saying you cannot support more than 1 concurrent connection!

I've got an e-mail from Bob and I nearly understand it;

Regarding your query of scheduling the interface for hourly run, it is possible to schedule it for every hour at a pre-decided time. But it would error out in case the previous execution is in wait of the response xml.
Besides this I see no issue in doing this. Please let me know your thoughts on this.

A real Yorkshireman would just say "building server" rather than "t'server"

Aye but these were Yorkified Bobs who were doing t'needful

[Mich the Tester]

Except that the answer is more likely to be;

Yes = Aye, f**k it, awright.

No = Naw, nae f**kin' way by ra way.

Aye, but I f**king well understand that.

My last contract involved teleconference calls with me (a Glaswegian), some Yorkshire based Bobs and some Bobland based Bobs. I was probably the most difficult to understand, but listening to the Yorkshire based Bobs talking about "doing the needful, today afternoon to complete building t'server" was interesting to say the least

Glasgow accent can be difficult, but at least Glaswegians are capable of giving a straight answer to a simple question, i.e. 'yes' or 'no'. Much easier to deal with than;

MTT; 'have you finished executing test set A1?'

Bob; 'we have been doing our doings most needfully and plenty cheapness transferring build to server and setting up much quickness doings on acceptance server'.

MTT; 'have you finished executing test set A1?'

Bob; 'erm, many needful doings bla bla bla ....'

MTT; 'have you finished executing test set A1? Please answer YES or NO'

Bob; I have been answering already just now before doings'

MTT; 'sod this, I'm going for coffee'.
