 While hiring seems to be the order of the day, just to let you know that
 AL Digital are hiring at the moment .. (permies only at the moment) ... 

I can't believe that you didn't mention the really cool arcade machine in
reception[1] in the sales pitch.  I think that most Perl Mongers would be
swayed by this as much as by anything else ;-)

Dircon took away their pool table recently to replace it with
office space. G. I think all companies should have at least
something... it helps with team building, ummm, team moral and
I guess wasting time?

The MAME machine sounds very cool,  does it have authentic joysticks?
(BTW, if any one knows where I could pickup some old AsciiWare Nintendo
joysticks please drop me a email)

The joysticks certainly seem authentic enough :)
