Might not be coming at all now. Could be a case of work stops play.

Why do you need knuckle joints? Do you only have two knuckles per finger Richie? Do you have a hairy back? Are you in fact a primate?

WHAT!?!?! Don't you dare do this now!

Yeah, I'm not overwhelmed, either. Fcuking idiots want something done by the start of June and it can only be done at weekends. Means I'll be doing an all nighter in London either tonight or tomorrow night. Then I need to go over to our other data centre in Dublin and do similar there - which at this moment means the LM weekend.

Matt, that is a right pisser. Well if you have to cancel make sure you're adequately compensated

[Crazyfrog (Fab)]

matt is over stress with the work and the vx i know you will be there ......

[techieboy]

The VX is the least of my problems at the moment. At least it's working (I think). I shall most definitely be having a rather heated discussion today with a couple of the directors. Hope to sell them a delay based on not responding to a non-problem with a knee jerk reaction. Not to mention lack of testing and planning. Twats.

AFTER BEING MARRIED FOR 44 YEARS, I TOOK A CAREFUL LOOK AT MY WIFE ONE DAY AND SAID, "Darling, 44 YEARS AGO WE HAD A CHEAP APARTMENT, A CHEAP CAR, SLEPT ON A SOFA BED AND WATCHED A 10-INCH BLACK AND WHITE TV, BUT I GOT TO SLEEP EVERY NIGHT WITH A HOT 25-YEAR-OLD GIRL. NOW I HAVE A $500,000.00 HOME, A $45,000.00 CAR, NICE BIG BED AND PLASMA SCREEN TV, BUT I'M SLEEPING WITH A 65-YEAR-OLD WOMAN. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT YOU'RE NOT HOLDING UP YOUR SIDE OF THINGS."

MY WIFE IS A VERY REASONABLE WOMAN. SHE TOLD ME TO GO OUT AND FIND A HOT 25-YEAR-OLD GAL, AND SHE WOULD MAKE SURE THAT I WOULD ONCE AGAIN BE LIVING IN A CHEAP APARTMENT, DRIVING A CHEAP CAR, SLEEPING ON A SOFA BED AND WATCHING A 10-INCH BLACK AND WHITE TV.

I shall most definitely be having a rather heated discussion today with a couple of the directors. Hope to sell them a delay based on not responding to a non-problem with a knee jerk reaction. Not to mention lack of testing and planning. Twats.

Gutted Matt, Sticky and I were talking about the trip yesterday and your name came up.

Worst case, you could sell your trip, hotel, crossing and track day. Failing that I am sure Paul will credit you, the hotel is not paid for but you lose the crossing as it is a Tesco trip.

[rcvaughan]

Really sorry to hear this! sounds like you really needed a good eurotrip to fall back in love with the VX Two thoughts: the track day is on the Monday, could you do an uber late Sunday crossing? Work to live; don't live to work

[JimmyJamJerusalem]

Mate I wish I could help Hope they buy your new deadline BLAG BLAG BLAG!!!!!!

I have been able to move a tunnel crossing following a TD cancellation without penalty so if you know where/when you want to go then they may be able to help. If the worst comes to the worst how about Zolder on 31st July with LoT?

[techieboy]

Might be some light at the end of tunnel but it's shaping up to be a miserable week ahead. Not sure I'd make the noise limits at Zolder. They're strict and my car isn't.
