    Given the poster, I suspect you may have been whooshed there.

    <thinks>
    Unless that was a very subtle double whoosh you've just pulled.

    whilst you're generally correct, the "Finance industry" is pretty
    wide. I'm aware it's pretty laid back and sleepy in Insurance-land,
    but when you're dealing with Hedge Funds and derivatives/currency
    trading etc. it can be a bit more frenetic, and a knock-on effect of
    this is that when the markets start looking iffy, they shed non-
    critical projects and staff PDQ. And guess what, meeting the IT
    requirements for Sales and Marketing (what I do now) turn out to be
    pretty damn non-critical.

  4. Unless you have (like my elder brother) a skill much in demand[1]. He
    started it 9 months ago and in less than 6 months exceeded the VAT
    limit and had to register.

    honest and c) on time..

    heh, one evening a few months ago my mate Jenna came staggering up to
    me in the pub saying she's got a business idea. So I asked what it was
    and loud as you like she goes

    "**** Mints! You might not be as tight as a Polo but you'll fuckin'
    taste like one!"

    Turns out she's even bought the domain. Classy lass, Jenna.

    You get used to it!

    We eat a lot of fish[1] so it's not too bad and I've never been one of
    those "I must have meat on my plate" types. Even when we eat out and a
    steak or a roast dinner is available I frequently have fish.
    heh. Seen it before but it's a good 'un.

    [1] Must be a fillet for her; no bones, no head, tail, fins etc.
    whereas I like the "whole fish" experience. We were in Majorca a
    couple of years ago and I had a whole grilled Sea Bass. Her face was a
    picture when I prised out one of the eyes and popped it in my mouth.
    Yum!

    I didn't mean that the chances of making money were slim for any one
    person - just that on average, most small business fail, and only a
    very few that don't are genuinely succesful.

    the sofa channel hopping and posting rubbish.

    Nicely written: "3- After sexual intercourse especially for women who
    have allergic from semen."

    I'm always amazed by the low standards of English to be found on
    wesites supposedly there to prmote a company's products. Don't they
    ever think to get someone vaguely literate to proff-read them?

    that's worse - they're probably going to be outsourced. Front Office
    is where it's at.

    You too, huh?
    Yeah, me too; I delegated the task to someone less blessed with my
    skills in avoidance of mind-numbingly boring tasks.

    well, there's only one word missing.
    are the three spelling mistakes in the above paragraph ironic?
