    This is such an unlikely scenario that it is used as a comparative analogy, as in 'If this one chance in a zillion occurrence occurs, then I am a monkeys uncle'

    Similarly a rabbits paw is the father of a rabbit. Rabbits being generally hard to find in an IT office 'rubbing the rabbits paw' is a non comparative analogy ofeten used by people to signify that a large amount of luck may be needed, but we are right behind you

        Got the role today - signed and sealed offer. They were asking for war and peace but because of my contracting experience i.e. solving business issues secured the role after 2nd interview.

        Many thanks indeed to Doodab and SpaceCadet for assisting re: answering the technical questions when in reality that knowledge isn't needed on a day to day basis but demonstrated an ideal overall profile for the job. Many thanks!
