Being stood behind someone for ages while they try and explain something they don't really understand by clicking all over their screen opening & closing random window & generally not having a clue what they are on about. And being expected to stand there and listen to it too.

So all documentation got dropped from the plan.
Then they made a week = 21 days.
It was still delivered late, so late it couldn't be properly tested. Whew...
Luckily the device got blown up on the launch-pad, so no one knew it didn't really work.
So everyone got paid, and then paid to build another.
But this time someone else won the contract.
They asked for any documentation, willing to pay indeed.
Too many company confidentials, no can do. :rollingInsanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

Well yes. Last time I went to Britain I was reminded that most people there are quite short compared to NL; I’m certainly not unusually large but the trains didn’t have enough room for my legs and I had to leave the bloody theatre half way through the show as I couldn’t sit with my legs folded up against my chest for any longer. Given your size you would be making a wise move if you were to consider a move to Holland, where the average man is about 6ft3 and most things are built to accommodate much larger people than that.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?
