NAHHHHHHHH
Trying to be Mr Sensible, but still talking bull anyway,
Here Willmore heard a wee rumour that you were into gay guys.
Do you want to talk me dear !!!!
Feel you need to get something out of your system !!!!!!!!!!!!
As a trained counsellor, I will be more than happy to hear your tales of WO!!!!! and I will not pass it on to anyone !!!!!!!!!!
Why are you having to wait 14 days for your MAC
Just pop down to the local high street and buy one, they only cost about $4 and you can have ketchup with them to !!!!!!!!
Here Willmore and the rest of the guys, have a look at this web site, it is really interesting, you will be amazed

The Scots' really have the talent for "talking bull" don't they? Must be part of the grouchiness/charm that I keep hearing about but yet to see.
No, from my husband. She has enough on her hands with one man in her life (yes, of course dear, dream on)......
No, tales of pity. Just very unusual for you to pass an opportunity to insult me in some way, shape and form. Perhaps old age is really setting in.
Smart-ass. My new Mac is being built as we speak......waiting, patiently waiting.
Can't open this website. What was going to happen, was it going to explode or something?

Well, friends have always told me that I'm an Aquarius with a bad moon rising, but everything I've learned about being grouchy is from the two Scottish experts McGrouch and now you.
By the way, I'm turning 30 on Feb 5, so 1975 it is.......

Yes I have friends, gay and otherwise. Besides I've known most of them since we were 7 or 8. I've only seen the show once though, as I'm rarely in when it's on.
No my company isn't cheap, the Mac guy is a consultant who is probably taking home the equivalent of CDN$200 a year. We don't use Macs as a) Our clients, major financial institutions won't touch them with a barge pole, b) The software we require doesn't run on them, remember what I said about Apple not making servers.
Eddie: Uncle Bill has you by the wotsits, but I'm sure like a lot of Windows users you can find a friend who has a copy of Windows Office etc, that has escaped from the rear of an HGV

The truth is that apple makes some of the cutting edge servers on the market. The truth is that Europe, (UK included) is way behind in technology compared to North America.

Hard to say any one country is ahead, the leading IT compnaies in the world are all multinationals, not to mention the diversity of the staff.
Take some of the most influential people in IT and see what I mean
Bill Gates - American
Tim Berners-Lee - British
Linus Torvalds - Finnish
Pierre Omidyar - Naturalised American born in France to an Iranian family
Sergey Brin - Russian

30 isn't old, I don't even feel that I've reached my prime yet and I have 2 kids.
$200CDN - hardly worth his time and effort. Think he needs to mingle with a higher class of people. Should be worth far more than that and paid in US funds. When we do any type of international consulting work - we're paid in US funds across the board.

K - if you were born in 79, you're not much older than Sir and you certainly shouldn't be feeling your age yet, although it's true kids can run you ragged some days.
