    No. A piglet. Quite short really. But very tasty indeed. I understand from your cousin that Long Pig isn't so good.
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

        I think HairyArsedBloke had some health issues.

        But also, didn't he devise an app for filtering and displaying stock market results on a mobile phone, and the rights to this were bought by a megacorp for £10 million?!

                Since then a steady stream of contract work, agency and direct, except for a barren spell during the dot.com downturn when I resorted to permiedom. Ended up getting made redundant and walked out with £15k in my pocket and a 3 month contract signed the same day. Not looked back since.

                Record for concurrent clients is 3. That was definitely a Type 2 Fun scenario.

                Successfully avoided any kind of management responsibility.

                Now on our 2nd dog, also having had 2 cats along the way.

                Mortgage seems to have got bigger somehow

                Acquired several bikes, ridden some of them quite a long way.

                Met several of the denizens of this place at various time and got drunk. Expensively on occasion. Often at the top of tall buildings.

                Have escorted a certain Mod to their Hotel in order to make sure they actually got there.

                Have carried same Mod down the street on a different occasion, or maybe the same one, it's hazy.

                Have never organised the forum Xmas party. Still don't intend to. (see comment on management responsibility)

                    No AtW is a transman version of me.

                    Being a woman on STEM forums means you get a load of sexism.
