Kinnel that is two of you today already, is the whole of ukrm going to

Steve: Poet and literary genius. I commend you.

 

That really is it for the first Covenant novel. Lord Foul's Bane Page
1: "Covenant sees a police car and falls over..." Page 500
"...Covenant looks up and sees the sky, and hears the police car."

 

I'd work in it. I'd work for you [0]


[0] One of a few small number of UKRMers I would work for.

 

C'mon, let Champ have first dibs.

 

Guilty as charged, Yeronner.

 

**** that ****. Qatar's lovely. And Champ said he didn't want
anything more than 50 miles from the Midlands.

 

Wait until his food starts to run out, he'll not be so picky then.

 

<checks stockpile of Pot Noodles>

 

Food of the Gods.

Pot Noodles are really for the student population. Idle, lay-about
scrounging, drains on my taxes stereotypes like you eat pizza.


P.S.
Don't forget to get your teeth, eyes and other bodily parts prone to
failure due to fair wear and tear checked once you qualify for the dole,
not before.

I don't understand this. I know they are cheap and all that stuff but a
tin of soup and a handful of dried noodles are so much better tasting.

DIY Pot Noodles rocketh mightily

 

"Gorgeous".

 

Yebbut that involves a good 30 seconds extra effort at the very least.

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, steve auvache amazed us all with this pearl of
wisdom:

I thought you said you didn't pay tax?

I pay national insurance, although I am angling for a small incomes
exception.

 

I thought the first book was terrific, but I was disappointed at the
way the chronicles developed after that. I think there was/is a much
better story-line waiting to be developed going on from book one. TBH
I only kept reading them as my hen SO had bought me the lot as a
present.

 

Way ay, pet!

 

it's just a sales and marketing operation. But since my remit covers IT
support for remote sales and marketing sites, it might be something
I'll get involved with. So far, my most "exotic" office is Madrid,
somewhere in Qatar would be a more interesting business trip.

As for working for me, I've got 2 contract[0a][0b] and 3
permanent[1a][1b][1c] positions I'm about to start recruiting for.
Don't think any of them would suit you, unfortunately.

[0a] need an ASP (some .Net) person
[0b] need a Java person
[1a] need a project manager
[1b] need a ColdFusion/Web application support person
[1c] need an production application services person (Windows 2K3
Server, IIS, JRun, ColdFusion, J2EE, Solaris, Weblogic, server hardware
exp.)

You could probably do 1a or 1c, but I'm not in a position to pay an
awful lot for the permies. 1c /may/ be available as a contract, not
sure yet.
