Question What is making you happy today?

[Ricky Otto]

Well done mate, the job I was applying for has been withdrawn due to funding cuts. :sad:

Sorry to hear that, certainly bucking the trend here, cuts everywhere at the moment it seems

Cheers. Looking outside NR, but I think I'm a bit long in the tooth for a new company. Only 14 years until retirement. :happy:

14 years as a consultant with your experience isn't to be dismissed that easily.

It is a niche role. All those 80's & 90s cultural reference jokes don't just write themselves you know.

Surely this is not some obscure 80/90's culteral reference again? :winking:

One of the employees was called Morgan Stanley.

Just seen the route of Stage 9 of cycling's Tour of Britain.

I knew it was starting Hemel, but didn't know the route would be passing within about 100 yards of my house. Now pondering whether to watch the start in town for all the buzz there or take advantage of the race practically going by my front door. Either way, should be a great day.

Bye bye 20mbps connection and hello my new 200mbps connection.

I know we all have to be a bit of a masochistic to follow Southend but isn't that pushing it a bit far!
