Hi John :) I'm fine, Toby's fine, haven't seen anyone from here in way
too long. I'm currently one of the unwashed masses after packing the
job in before Christmas (long story not for posting online for anyone to

OK, Prodigal Son returned after miraculously turning into a human
being, got married (me and Bob not PS), spent most of year trying to
stop Bob's alcoholic friend drinking himself to death, freelance work
mostly gone to India, Bob had an op, I've been supplmenting my income
by working in a call-centre (data entry not the phones) but now doing
market research interviewing, my Mum died following a stroke (but she
put up a good fight for almost a year and was always happy to see
everyone and never complained), daughter moved into her first house
and is expecting a baby in May so I'm going to be a Grandma. I think
that's about it.

Joe is a long haired lout, taller than me, taking his GCSEs this year,
singing in a band, gigging at various parties, role playing and has a
better social life than I do :)
Rachel is hovering on the brink of puberty, much slamming of doors,
badly applied make up, but has an incredibly tidy room and still likes
to be tucked in. She's joined St John's Ambulance and is doing long
distance running, on the reserve list for Derby.

Once the divorce went through Lady Nina didn't seem appropriate

Ah right. So why "work in progress"? Actually, could you email me

You mean you want more than is in my sig?
Well, I got together with someone, it didn't work out, but we are still
best of friends.
My company is outsourcing most of it's development to India, as a result
of this it has lost developers faster than it wanted and so is now
playing catch up trying to get everything up an running. I appear to be
safe assuming the company survives the outsourcing, and if the company
died it is pretty certain that one of our customers would take me on.
Currently the company could do with about 4 of me, so if anyone has a
cloning machine lying around...
I'm now hosting a Wiki for another news group.

Got engaged to childhood (well, 21yearoldhood) sweetheart Kaz, rather
ignoring the thorny issue of how to get rid of the current wife
(something to attend to this year).
Joined several bands, one of them with Kaz (www.secondtimeround.org.uk)
playing round the Brum area. One club band, one barn dance band playing,
er, barn dances and ceilidhs, one duo. Must do the websites for the
other two...
Got out of the stressful job in Brum into a job so laid back I could
sleep most of the day in Wolverhampton. Avoided telling former boss he
could stuff the job up his arse as I hate burning bridges. Actually did
some websites as part of my job. Which was nice.
Lost some weight. Now a mere shadow of my former self (down from 15st 9
to 14st 9, waist down from 40" to 34").
Avoided falling off any motorcycles.

Bummer, this Indian lark is getting beyond a joke now. It's getting to
the stage that most call centres I ring are there and alot of the call-
takers have problems with street addresses, everything has to be spelled
more than once and it really really gets my goat.
If you hang on, I'll dig my cloner of the garage, might take a while as
it's buried under the boxes for carbooting!

Rock and Indie (being my son what else could it be) and apart from
their slaughtering of 'highway to hell' (which wasn't his band, he
stood in as singer for some friends) they're very good. He sings, but
he's also learning guitar.

I was the same, I'd been picked for the county at 15 then I jumped off
a roof and broke my foot (long story) and that was my running at
competitive level over.

I think things are now moving apace, as current wife is now divorcing
me, thankfully. Just have to sort out the issue of whether I can keep
the house...

I'm currently working (sparking) at the new Arsenal FC stadium, just
down the hill from the old one at Highbury.
Still living in Watford, Hertfordshire, UK.
Last book read: The Brentford Triangle by Robert Rankin.
Last DVD watched: Once Upon A Time In The West.
Last CDs bought: XTC's Apple Box set.
Last visit to the cinema: many, many years ago.
Last live concert: Terry Reid at the 100 Club.
Last TV watched: The 6am news this morning.
Last Curry eaten: Friday night. A home-made concoction involving beef,
tomatoes, onions, garlic, red, yellow and green peppers and Patak's
Balti Paste. Served with plain basmati rice and a garlic & coriander
naan. Washed down with a sufficiently-below-room-temperature bottle of
Harviestoun Bitter & Twisted Ale.

I can't keep up with SimonP's channel surfing! We also got an HDTV
and he discovered that lots of channels are available, even though we
stubbornly insist on paying only for Basic Cable.

Last week. And probably again tomorrow. Someone over in the caff (I
think) mentioned Patak's, and we've been in curry heaven since we
found it!

Can't remember the last curry I ate, but it must have been at least 10
years ago.

I've been a wageslave-by-choice for as long as I've been working.
Couldn't handle the stress of wondering when or where the next job's
coming from. That's SimonP's milieu.
Odd - but then there's layoffs ... so far 5 and counting ...

I'm still a wage slave, just for a completely different company.
