    Are you going to tell then? Go on, I know you want to. ;)
    I know my user name is cra9. I didn't know about user names when I first discovered the modern day version of The Oracle so just used my ebay initials and added some numbers.

    Could be time to reinvent moi with a new name? Seems to be the on trend thing to do at the mo.

    KFC to create 9,000 jobs in UK expansion drive

    Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) has said that it plans to open between 200 and 300 new restaurants creating 9,000 jobs in the UK and Ireland in the next three to five years.

    Good news? What sort of mortgage are you going to be able to afford if you're earning £5 per hour? :rolleyes:

    I used to do a bit of writing and one of the articles I'd written was being picked to pieces on one of the boards here. I was going to come on and wade in, so I picked one of the first words I looked at in the newspaper next to me and registered with that. I never did respond, but if I'd known I would end up posting quite a lot I'd have picked a name that didn't sound like a big knife. It sounds a bit threatening.

    Your username kinda sounds like a football team created by mathematicians.

    Do you still write for a living? Only being nosey...

    Cleaver is quite memorable tho'

    OK, a footie team and math experts??.....not very me at all. Could be time for a new name ....once I have lived through my next life chapter and edited for the curious on here.....think I will have to invent one.

    Ha de Ha...buckets :D Pls don't expand on it (+ another ha de ha )

    I wish I had spent a little more time concocting my name...mine just announces to the world that I am single.

    Plus I am so used to being called CS on other forums that I tend to ignore it when people say SS on here, I think they are talking about a famous SS on other forums I frequent!

    Nah, mine is boring and not at all mysterious, might be time for me to re-invent myself...not that you would be left in the darkness as to my new identity, my posting style is pretty unique!

    As for KFC, good news that new jobs are being created but not sure I could stomach working in a fried chicken place day in and day out..the smell would turn my tummy.
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    My sister and I have a little joke about all those chicken places named after buildings....and the relative lack of poshness in the area they are sited. The winner of the game is the one that spots the most illustrious building...i.e. Chicken Palace trumps Chicken Hut. I admit, the game was constructed on a not perfectly abstemious night out.

    Anyway, point is, on £5 ph you could probably mortgage a Chicken Hut.:o

    Great fantastic, minimum wage. :-(
    might be ok for the ex-stockbrokers though, forced to live in the real world with the rest of us.
