    Poolie, you're a boon to this thread - is there anything you can't talk knowledgably about?

    I am sure somebody on here will find a topic this 28 pup doesn't know the answer too.

    Next topic please?

    How obtuse you wanna go Poolie, I've got some obscure stuff I can pull if you really want a test ;)

    Try your best and worst NIM. I am sure I can give it a good go.

    Saying that today has been a learning curve. Was doing something at work and realised that I had to learn something new on the fly. Let just say a bit of shouting (after 5pm) and swearing (under my breath) and it has worked! OK ended up staying 30 minutes later than planned but at least I know it is working when I left.

    Can have a look again tomorrow when on my 12 hour shift and try and tidy up the code.

    Let just say NIM. I have covered train fare (can those who wanted me to look PM me dates, departing station and destination and I will keep my eyes peeled!), Cars, Spreadsheet (on the fly) for Dinah at the drop of a hat and now dress making patterns.

    Oh so this is just working stuff out, not on far flung facts?

    I was going to have fun nerding it up beyond compare.

    Let just say that 4 programming languages in one day is enough for my brain cell.

    Programming is not my main job just something I do on the side when it is quiet.

    For the nerds amongst us - vba for outlook 2007, HTML, java, jsp and SQL (not really a language just statements)

    Birdie I think I speak for all of us when I ask in the nicest way possible


    What in the hell is that?

    It's a silver stag's head of course! To make my little flat look like a grand hunting-lodge-come-dodgy-art-exhibition!

    I suppose you think silver sequinned cushions are impractical too! Jeez! :rotfl:
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    I'll take pictures (if it's nice!) My Dad was looking over it this morning and is worried because it says 'Cash Offers' it might not be mortgageable? But he says to book a viewing for next week and he'll come with me. Eee!

    I love that stags head Birdie! Would make a nice statement without being too in your face.

    What's everyone up to today? OH has left for work so I've got a day to myself! Tempted to go and buy some of those Thorntons Chocolate boxes they have on offer to put away for Christmas. But I need to buy 4 and don't want to look like a fatty... :D
