    Just a quick post to apologise if you were thinking I had suddenly deserted the forum.....

    Over the past 8 weeks or so, I have been working on designing and building a fairly large database that is used by multiple departments within our business; in the last three days, I have been out and about running a private service over three days for a Watchtower convention.

    I am utterly exhausted after all that (and the database job still isn't quite finished) but as of this morning I am on two weeks annual leave. I have spent the majority of today loafing about (barring a visit to Sainsburys), and living in hope that my bones and joints stop screaming at me at some point soon.

    Anyway, the bad news for you all is that I am likely to be on GC a lot more over the next couple of weeks :snork:

        Thanks :) Bacardi is stocked up (purely for medicinal purposes of course) and treatment has commenced. :thumbsup:

              Loads and loads of "alerts " to catch up on then.
              How many ?
              About a 1000 or so?
              No rush FC. 2 weeks should do it...:heehee: :roflol: :lunapic 130165696578242 5:

                  Got to have it with some Coke (or the Sainsbury's generic version at least*) - I'm not a complete alcofrolic you know. :snork:

                  *@Scrungee would be proud of me - today in Sainsburys, each bottle of Coke/Pepsi was £1.98, whereas a four pack of their own stuff was £2; the thick end of £6 saving on four bottles of coke is incredible! Just shows the profit that is being made by the big brands.

                    I know its expensive but I always buy the mixer bottles, or a 12 pack of small cans.
                    It tastes much better that way.
                    Then a slice of lime that's been frozen.
