Is that because you're a sh*t performance poet?

I went for 'other' because I don't think I fit any of the categories. I'm a designer and director of a marketing company called Streetscape (hence the nickname). I work with agencies that help disaffected teenagers to have a better start in life.

Cool. Any way you can get me a deal on a nice private villa with private pool in the SoF in late August?

Performance poet? I can brake later and corner harder than the other performance poets. And I only overtake on the straights.

Sh*te one? Might have to put some stuff on the site so you can make your own minds up!

Can still run fast though...

I was a VB6 and web developer in my late teens & early 20's and then into Project Management and beyond. Looking to get back into Project Management, as I don't like playing the sort of games that you need to play when 'beyond' :lol:

I was 22 years in the RAF (23 April is my end of service) in the comms business so I was surrounded by IT geeks - I managed to a kid it. I'm now about 5 weeks into a project management job....
