Doh!

Sorry Rach - OK, lonely except the site owner (now) 2 other admins, and about half the Grey room regulars

But apart from that I'm all on my own...

goodness me, one of our erstwhile members joins MySpace and the Shed's whole moral fibre falls to pieces...

there are a lot of our erstwhile members secretly lurking in myspace...

I think I'm right in thinking that Myspace is the one for people with talent, which would explain why I'm just a lonely thicky on Facebook

Lonely that is except for this site's owner, Max & at least one other admin chappie

Wrong - I'm on Myspace, which is all the proof you should need. I tend to sign into Facebook more often, but I use neither anywhere as much as Progarchives, which is my premier networking site. I'm not sure what that says about me

Obviously a man of great style and class!

I has, but they all got stored away in Aunt Sally's caravan...

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

this just in...

Following the problems in the sub-prime lending market in America and the run on Northern Rock in the UK, uncertainty has now hit Japan.

In the last 7 days Origami Bank has folded, Sumo Bank has gone belly up and Bonsai Bank announced plans to cut some of its branches.

Yesterday, it was announced that Karaoke Bank is up for sale and will likely go for a song while today shares in Kamikaze Bank were suspended after they nose-dived.

While Samurai Bank are soldiering on following sharp cutbacks, Ninja Bank are reported to have taken a hit, but they remain in the black.

Furthermore, 500 staff at Karate Bank got the chop and analysts report that there is something fishy going on at Sushi Bank where it is feared that staff may get a raw deal.

Very funny, but not a good day to be in Banking IT. Major panic going on today, not allowed to fart now without permission from the Head of IT.

The words "headless" and "chicken" spring to mind.

Never mind, I'm off to see Stevie Wonder in an hour.

The middle age effect has already taken hold with me J!!

...and I put a lot of that down to lots of actual real ale too.

Maybe if I turn to the virtual stuff I can look forward to reducing the size of my pot belly!

The virtual ale will have to wait until tomorrow though, if one more client calls to ask whether they should switch their savings to Ireland I'm going to pull the phone out of the socket and throw it out of the window!!
