    I don't speak Idiot - please talk slowly and clearly 'This space for rent' Driven to the arms of Heineken by the wife

      I used to work for a big american printing company with printing facilities all over the world - every year they would print a magazine for the staff - one of the features was a long service page showing photos of people who had worked there for years - some had been there for 50 years - those people had rarely progressed beyond warehouse assistant.

                Started out on my own 20 years ago and still loving it. Actually for the first 3 years I was doing a full-time job as well to get the dev work done.
