Its a shame, it was the only test I ever got an A+ in.

Hey, I'm A+ too, but I did once get an A+++ on a chemistry lab report in university. :cool:

Quote from Willmore
I'm around now...but wanted to wait it out and make sure this was the "real McGrouch".....and not just some fascimile.....since you did say you were going into retirement.....just can't trust those Scottish folks can you?

Here here Willmore, I am very trusting Scotsman, I need to be in my job !!!!

I think Glas should seriously think about retraining. I go through spells where my current job does nothing for me. I am like that just now, current job is not challenging anymore, it is boring and I am afraid working with those convicted by the courts is not all its cracked up to be.

I have gone through various re-training times in my short working life. it has been both beneficial and necessary to keep up with current job demands. I have just completed a 3 year HNC in First Line Management, all to benefit me getting into Canada, and that was a hard slog. I to have certificates coming out of my ears, some worthwhile, others are not worth the paper they are written on, but who cares they are all certificates.

At this moment I am sort of like a bus inspector, always collecting tickets, or in my case certificates, all to help me in my quest to get into Canada.

Will they be of any use when I get there, NO WAY HOSAY !!!!!!! but who cares !!!!

So Glas get yer school heed on and get back to the thought of a possible career change. That's exactly what I will be doing when I eventually get over ( Lets hope so )

PS Willmore thats 2 pints you owe me !!!!!

Eddie :beer:

One for Glas :beer:

PS BC is the choice for us, still has four seasons, not to harsh a winter, a decent summer, and it always has great recommendations. friend in work went last year, does not know of my plans to move there.
He knows we are coming over next July, his reply, if you go to Vancouver you will not want to come back to this dump. ( meaning Glasgow and the UK as a whole )

So there you go, BC it is for us !!!!!!!

Is there a problem here fellow Macer? I had an absolutely wonderful afternoon down at the beach with my kids. Is this something you want to discuss on the forum or pm me about?

If I thought for a moment that McGrouch would take my comments seriously, I would never leave them....hopefully, he knows me well enough by now.....to just have a good laugh about me being a "nutcase".....

Ouch, no problem Willmore I just didnt want to see a fellow Macuser get shouted at - but I guess you are right as Glas and MRT didnt bite.

Why would I take anything said by our favorite blonde seriously?

She's a Mac user for goodness sake ... that exhibits a complete lack of judgement to start with.

Oops ... here come the castration threats ....

I'm sorry.....if I was bitchy....just didn't understand where you were coming from....part of the problem being on a forum like this.........

Believe me McGrouch isn't shy....he would let me know in no uncertain terms....if I said something he was unhappy about.

Ok....my fellow Macuser (sounds so much better than Macer doesn't it?)
Still friends? :D

Stop feeling guilty about everything in life, it's not all your fault.

Yep 'course we are still friends, Macusers don't fall out - but I see from #102 that you woke Mr G up from his kip.
