h'mm, both wear sandals all year round (though austin does wear socks with his), hippy ponytails, hippy beard affairs going on, so laid back as to be horizontal
There aint much to seperate them, its a toss up between the purple 101 or the tea cosy on the head......

Fifteen - love. Good shot, sir.
I get accused and I only have one 101, and it isnt purple... :)
(and i dont even own any sandals!)
The world would be a much better place without all the boring people taking up space!
But very very lonely!

staff training day today, went in in shorts and sandals, got some funny looks, and then one person commented, "Well what do you expect, he does come to work in a lorry" I had to point out that burrt was not a lorry........
I hate you.
Staff training here means putting on a suit an going to London on the train.

Google seems to host most of our main staff training events.
And the pub, obviously :-)
You need any more employees?
Well, given that the majority of our employees don't work in the same office (there's only three of us here most of the time), anything is possible :-)
I was looking at some of the "incentives" that are on offer to move IT businesses to NZ a few days ago too, so who knows...
The biggest incentive isn't one you'll find listed on any of the official websites - quality of life. It's not hard to live in a rural setting and have an easy commute to a city job.
The downsides to running an IT business here are worth careful consideration too - international bandwidth is bloody expensive (as you'd expect with NZ being in the middle of nowhere) and there's nothing that I'd really want to call broadband available even if you're willing to pay thru the nose for it.
There's also a real shortage of parts for 101's here (AIUI there's only one of the beasties in the country) and most LR parts are bloody expensive compared to the UK. There are however several "Warren" type mechanics around the place so it's not all bad news.

You wait, I'll build this transit-110 yet. I've got the transit part of it now. Need to get some idea of whether the insurance company will insure it before it can go much further.

Just lucky it wasn't an Auto...now that would have smarted... and the drive to A & E could have been interesting

Those were the days when the very word c*nd*m was whispered out of earshot of grown-ups - not like today when they show five-year-olds how to fit one on a banana hands-free, as part of Year One PSE.
Even at 18-19, I would have been shot by my parents if I had been found with one. Times change.

Are you sure? Five year olds I mean - which although I support the idea of promoting safe sex, feel it's slightly young to be teaching children such practical, well...
If the case, I'd ask what on earth ever happened to 'childhood'.
