Hi Derf,
I think I know. Are you a giraffe hunter?

I'm a bridge engineer. Bit boring compared to giraffe hunting.

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Yeah - I used to do that. Now, I'm an overaged underemployed "leounge lizard", with an excessive home-jobs work-load!!!!!

Still looking for a new satin dressing-gown & a long enough cigarette holder. Unfortunately, I'll probably turn out more like the Hancock version.





Work-in-Progress: Changed to Zetec + T9. Still trying!!

Technical Architect - or you tell me what you want to do and I'll tell you how many computers my company is going to overcharge you for.

Used to work for Royal Mail doing the same thing but I was outsource to an alliance of 3 companys. I supossedly work for Xansa, but at the moment I'm pretenting to work for one of the other partners (CSC) so it's all a little confusing.

Me - I sell Teddy Bears - no really, I do, been a family business for 30 years, though I've only done it full time for the last 4 years. We have a shop in the Lanes in Brighton.

That's why I build cars and do DIY in my spare time, keep the testosterone levels up!
