      UK Property only fell a tiny bit in December. Buy-to-Let and SAP, that's the future.

          I was wondering why no support calls at ClientCo - they are all too busy jumping out of windows...

          PS I do know that there are no documentated cases of stockbrokers jumping out of windows.

            Dim,

            if you please,

            it's .Net which is the future,

            everybody get yourself trained up in Microsoft, go the whole way and get the respected .Net Certified MSDN qualifications and you'll be laughing.

            Put Certified MSDN on your business card and the world will be your oyster.

            Milan.

                  The markets closed at the lows: FTSE down 5.5% and DAX down 7%.

                  The market is pricing in a Recession.

                  Expect a downturn in the IT contract market come April..

                    If you ask me this is what you should be getting into:
                    http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=S...=on&z=m&q=l&c=

                    Clearly it's undervalued and will be the next bandwagon skill.
