    The proper reply is "Do you parents know what you do for a living?
    Are you aware of the people you work for and that you aren't fixing anything just cheating people out of money.
    Are you aware of the shame you will bring yourself and your parents when people discover what you are actually doing."
    merely at clientco for the entertainment

      I am pretty sure that they are brought up that way. And judging from current trends he will most likely end up as CEO of Barclays by the time he is 30.
      If UKIP are the answer, then it must have been a very stupid question.

          Ooo I had one a while ago and strung them on for ages acting dumb before they got fed up and hung up. If I can waste the time of these utter twunts then I'm happy to spend the time

            I ask him which one of the 7 I have?

            then if I'm bored I tell him about the VMs. Its great fun yelling at them when you can't install the windows software on Ubuntu - give them the full irate user experience!

            The more fun you have with them the less time they have to rip off little old ladies.
