Get a room bum boys.Originally posted by eek View PostIf Louie really was a Russell sockie I think its likelier that the ban hasn't been extended rather changed.
If he wants to return he'll need to perform Brillo levels of apologising.
Also you're braving showing Mod preferences. Cojak can be very, very vindictive especially at certain times of the month.

He sees himself as a Jesus Christ figure. No matter how odious he feels he must offer them absolvement before they leave the CUK mortal coil. Or he's desperateOriginally posted by realityhack View PostI see brillo sent him a friend request before he was punted.
Mr Pad, do you have this automated or do you have too much time on your hands?

At least I managed to neg rep him before the ban.

For what it's worth I quite like current client co.Originally posted by MyUserName View PostAt the moment I am in a small team with some good guys who are all pretty sharp, there is no politics, technology is not modern but C++ is timeless and I am sticking more years of front and back office trade capture systems on my cv (even if the finance industry stays collapsed I can still sell it as multi threaded, multi user, real time blah blah). Client office is 25 minutes from my house and they are sensible and sane about me sticking to my contract. To cap it off the rate is pretty good.
Am I seriously the only person who likes where they work right now?
Getting to learn some new tech on their dime too which is always a bonus.
