    Hi there,

    Just wondering what is the best time go?

    As myself did it twice in the past:
    1) after 4+ years at the same client, understood "time to go" and give a notice, otherwise "job for life" :-/
    3) extension delayed due to a projection about to "sink" nowhere, so found another gig

    What about you?

    Ops, realised 2 months until the end of current gig and sounds like another extension, but another 4 years gone oh dear

      +1. I did think it was something to do with bowel movements at first.

      I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

            Did you mean that your God (has) never seen such bad English or 'My God, I've never seen such bad English'?

              It says my god which means my god. If I would have wanted to say your god it would say your god. Did you learn to read at school?

                  Because that is the correct way to refer a deity in English. If you refer to gods that is okay, to one god is also correct, but to a specific god then the word must be capitalised:

                  All gods are ridiculous, your god is ridiculous but God is just made up.

                    Switching grammatical person in order to illustrate a point (i.e. how thick you are) is a common construction for those not in 'whoosh' mode. I realise English isn't your first language but my God, you're thick!

                    I'll rewrite that for you so you can understand it.

                    my god your thick
