Hey, MF. The year 2002 called - it wants it's fictional tale back.Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostA mate at school who was into computers back in the day wrote a program on the BBC for dyslexics and added in a function for the blind which read 'press the Enter key to continue' and how we laughed and took the piss (he said that he designed it so it would talk to you) oh how we ripped the piss some more.
He dropped me a line recently on Friends Reunited and is now a multi millionaire / founder / CEO of his own company of 1000 employees just down the road in Orange County California and has invited me down for a catchup.

Once upon a time, I was told if you can't think of anything nice to say don't say it.Originally posted by sasguru View PostOh it's about the council, I thought you were going to give us the benefit of your experience.




Its a shame your very expensive private school didn't teach you the same. No wonder you had to live on the goodwill of others to get work (you admit to using the old boys network)
