My 8" floppy

[paulw]

Katie, if you're reading this....you shouldn't be! It was just me and td at it again (ooh, sir, nudge nudge, wink wink etc.)

P.

[barrk]

I prefer hard drives myself....we are talking about computers aren't we???

[paulw]

Course, what else - knew you'd have a look tho' Check out the Salaries thread if you want an explanation.

:D

P.

[tumblingdown]

Katie,

you know this has nothing to do with me, it's just pauls depraved, sic and disgusting mind feverishly thinking about depraved, sic and disgusting things. As you know, i never think about depraved, sic and disgusting things. ever. at all. anytime. anytime at all. ever...



td.

[barrk]

What a pity, td. Life is so much more interesting when seen through a warped mind.

[paulw]

He leadeth me in pastures a bit strange and maketh me think things I shouldn't...

The td psalm.

P.

[tumblingdown]

ah. right. from now on i'll try really hard to be depraved, sic and disgusting.

really hard. rock hard almost...



td.

[tumblingdown]

so who has the mental image ;-?


td.

[barrk]

I certainly have the image! How am I supposed to work for the rest of the day now????

[tumblingdown]

;-)


td

[paulw]

Yeeeuchhh!

Unfortunately, work keeps getting in the way of more important things...

Things are definitely getting harder...

Cheers,

P.

[tumblingdown]

See, what did i tell you. Depraved, sic and disgusting!


td.

[barrk]

I think you're both great...sick but great!

[tumblingdown]

"just you're average horny little devil"


td.

[barrk]

I may be a lot of things but "average" isn't one of them...and I'm proud of it!!!!!!!!

[paulw]

hehehehehe

I really have to go home to my wife...

P.

[barrk]

At least you can paul...I have 7 more hours to work :-(

[paulw]

What - til you go home to your wife???? I think your husband should know.

P.

Yes, I did have a little drink at lunchtime.

[barrk]

Tom would love it if I brought home a wife....

[paulw]

Don't think Denise would be too impressed if I bought another woman home:(

We seem to have had something like this conversation before...

P.

[barrk]

Yep...we did. :-)

I said Tom would love it...not me.

[HarryW]

Hehe, haven't we all :rolleyes:

Not me. At least, not that I can remember.

[barrk]

In our last discussion I was informed that at least 90% of all men want two women....you must be in the other 10% then, DerFarm?

[Ianpbaker]

He's getting mature in his old age

[tumblingdown]

awfull combination - Maturity and Old Age.

[Ianpbaker]

I'm hoping to finish as I've started, discracefully

You're well on the way.

discracefully is mis-spelled.

[Arbiter]

I thoroughly intend to go out the way I came in:

Kickin' and Screamin'!!!

Ian,

What's this I read in another thread about you bein' on £30-£40 per hour?

Methinks you be buyin' da beer!!!!

All,

This place is full of sad strange sickos...

I feel right at home!

[Ianpbaker]

DOhh, oh well, the pints are cheaper up here anyway, sherry isn't to badly priced either

Actually started out using 8 inch floppies...but quickly massaged that in to one mother of a hard disk. You needed a crane to put it in.

Ian

Whoa 30 pound per hour...(damn we don't have that symbol on our keyboards anymore)...just give me a moment with the currency translation....gee that comes out at roughly $250 Aussie dollars an hour. You get paid more than a high priced hooker. Way to go big fella.

[HarryW]

Holy ****, last time someone told me the exchange rate it was about 3 $'s to the £, what happened?

Sorry Harry that was a local joke....l earn a $million dollars AUS per year, which means l am just above the poverty line in the US....that sort of thing.

Actually the dollar surfed up to 55c US this morning, maybe will be able to make vbits next year after all. Was looking dicey when the AUS Dollar was heading below 50c US.

So 30-40 pounds is good in the UK ????????????? We keep getting contacted by an agency in london looking for warm bodies...l don't think these guys realise Australian isn't in Surrey.

[HarryW]

Thank God for that, I have to live in Surrey.

[parksie]

Worcester rocks :)

Is that a compliment?

Yes we are rather pleased about that fact down under. Ah yes another country to decimate in the cricket. It should be 15 in a row we meet your lay abouts, then it's going to be twenty in a row.

[paulw]

In your dreams mate...

P.

[Ianpbaker]

Jethro - Contacting is like hooking

Pimps (Or agents) push you around trying to get the most money out of you.

Clients try to get every last penny out of you whilst your with them.

If you don't like the client - just think of the money

[paulw]

...and swallow.

:D

Jethro...

Nevermind the crane...I hate to think of the size of tower you'd need for that size disk.

All talk and no trousers, Parksie???

[parksie]

Leave that mental image alone :D

[barrk]

he he

[Arbiter]

This is starting to read like a 'carry on' film...

[barrk]

? a what ?

[parksie]

You don't know what you missed, Katie :)

[barrk]

I guess I don't. What's a carry on film?

Basically you had these hard disks which you couldn't lift which held approx 30 meg of data. So you would link twenty or so together in an air conditioned room, and employ a priest hood to ensure they keeped working.

Man those disks had a better working environment than us poor smucks in the programming department. Only advantage was they would crash every hour or so allowing us to improve our hall cricket.

English Persons

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, oi oi oi

No problems five zip to the Aussies in the ashes series unless rain intervenes to save your sorry arses.

[barrk]

Right, Jethro...that's not exactly where my mind was at the time I wrote that post....I forgot we were talking about computers...my bad.

I thought we were :)

Carry on films were a great series of English comedy movies with basically all the same actors....caren't remember any of their names. Sort of Benny Hill on steriods.

For further English humour, (if you exclude the cricket team), score some "Ab Fab" episodes. Pattsy had a huge following in the gay community downunder. Oops, not that anyone is gay down here of course.

[barrk]

BTW, I checked out Wallace and Grommit on your suggestion....funny stuff!

[parksie]

The Carry On team (as many as I can remember):

Hattie Jacques
Sid James
Kenneth Williams
Charles Hawtree
Barbara Windsor
Jim Dale
Joan Sims

[barrk]

I'll see if I can find somewhere to check them out. Thanks, Parksie

[davidrobin]

Since i registered I have posted on the VB and the Database forums, I often wondered how you all managed to make so many posts so quickly. Now I know where you all really spend your time.

[barrk]

We don't get post counts for Chit-Chat..only the other forums count!

[parksie]

Shame...especially after that little "burst" of ours ;)

[barrk]

True! We'd be guru's at the very least by now!

[parksie]

I would be already :)

[barrk]

I know...you're much farther along than I am...but I do occaissionally have to stop and work for a living.

[davidrobin]

I guess I'm none the wiser then.

[barrk]

There's lots to learn around here. I read a lot of the questions just so I can learn...I don't know a lot...I am getting smarter though!

[parksie]

That's probably the funniest thing I've heard in a while. I suppose my outlook will change when I actually have to start earning money.

[barrk]

Your outlook probably will change a little but if you like what you do it won't be to drastic!

[parksie]

I expect so. As long as I end up with something vaguely programming-like I'll be fine :)

[paulw]

...I don't know a lot...I am getting smarter though!


I can definitely go along with at least one part of that:D

Cheers,

P.

[barrk]

Hey now, Paul.....that could very well be an insult!!!!!!!

[parksie]

Unless he's talking about him :D

[barrk]

That must be it, Parksie. I know Paul is much too charming to be that mean ;-)

So Paul doesn't know alot and is charming?

I can go along with a least a part of that :rolleyes:

[parksie]

Hehehe.

[paulw]

Who said I am charming? Not the wife, that is for sure...

I would never insult Katie, she is far too nice:-) unlike you two uncouth lads (ahem).

Cheers,

P.

[parksie]

Uncouth? Moi?

Hmmmmmmm...

*reads post race* well...Katie's not much better ;)

[paulw]

True, true...

P.

[barrk]

Hey now....I resemble that remark....no wait...I resent that remark...*reads the post race"...oh well...nevermind

Whose uncolthed...damn uncouth...your been watching again.

I would not call katie uncouth, after all she is an American and certain things are allowed in that country, especially in Kentucky and Virginia.
