New Gig tomorrow...

[stek]

Did the needful related in another thread, canned the current, not as sold on the tin, we all agreed..

Start in Manchester this Monday, deffo more my role, made double sure this time, for the first time in ages I can commute, started my first real contract in Manchester in 1994 it's like turning full circle but instead of dreading going back, looking forward to it, familiar territory, bags more experience...

Looking to seek out some of those dodgy hidden-away Manchester boozers, is Ma Megs still there, be a challenge to find it now if it is...

Bring a brolly.

She's still there, although I think the lunchtime BJ specials for a tenner have stopped

Well i'm in Leeds already, from Bolton originally, still in touch, well aware M/Cr is 'cotton and guns'!

Cock-stride from here!

As far as I am aware, (C)anal (S)treet is the gay bit, tho even there it's so touristy now you never get your bum felt, I know, I keep going and nowt.

Even in 1994-on when I was contracting for BR/Railtrack/Insert-your-TOC-here around Victoria was well rough, I well remember having a few in a boozer within sight of Strangeways Jail, full of warders and newly-released prisoners oddly enough...

On the other hand, I have a First Class Ticket to and from and I demand my breakfast...

Back to' Manchesto'! (the " ' " denotes short vowel a la soft sign in Russian translit)

I had seven months of nowt, nada, night, nichogo in 2009......

Now I've had three on the go at once, and a promise of a return to another anytime if I want.

Basically Unix VM's - thats wot I do. AIX/Solaris/HP-UX..

None of the VMware wanna-be stuff, just doesn't do the job in the enterprise...

Gay blokes can spot a straight bloke from 100 yards so this wouldn't happen. It is the 7ft trannies grabbing you by the throat for staring you want to worry about.

Not rough anymore, well not as and Strangeways gone so that doesn't happen.

Jump in, the water is lovely.
