    That was close

    just writing an email to another Team about a problem with their .Net applications, and accidentally pasted EO's quotation into the email:

    ''Thank God I am a contractor. That is not self congratulation, that is me holding my hand up to heaven and thanking my lucky stars.''


    would have been funny trying to explain that.

    I accidentally included one of Dimprawn's smelly bum threads in an automated test script I was making for an interview presentation. Happily the script failed due to a time out (slow connection) and I got the gig.
    And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

          I was once having two IM conversations:

          1 with my boss at the time (a real eejit)
          1 with a mate.

          The boss was being a tuliphead. So I told my mate that he was. Except it wasn't my mate

          D'oh

                My boss told me to cram it, then it all died down, with some grovelling from me. I didn't get a third extension
