    Churchyarde,

    if you deliver in four days what I deliver in seven then you are the fool for not being able to manage your customer's expectations

Admit it, as a contractor, you're tulipe, time to start looking for a permy role mefinks. How about a job selling nonextant swimming pools?
    Nah, it's the only way he can afford the bus fare home. Especially since the price of gold fell last week.

    I suppose the good thing with the UK from an investment perspective is, we all know Tony wants the UK to be a super power and therefore he requires a populus of circa 200million and a by product of such and achievement is going to be pressure on the housing market for the next x years.

    Always looking at ways to support myself after IT, after all, IT in the UK is in decline, so the smart person is diversifying (or plan B as we like to call it).

    It's only 1/2 mile away so it's a pitiful amount of tax.

    Good thanks. Everything is fine here. You know very well that the UK has very low unemployment and crime, and we have great chances of winning the world cup too. Surely we are short of water now, but we have a full rainy summer ahead, so we are fine. The future is bright, the future is .net.

    How about you? Everything good?
