Training anyone ?
Just saw this linked from a hugely obvious banner ad on the Register : http://training.gbdirect.co.uk/courses/perl/for_the_register.html Great idea to tie it in to a success story I thought. Simon.

Grumble grumble. At least they only claim to be the maintenance team. Almost like boasting about being the team sent in to fetch the team sent in to rescue the hostages. If on the other hand you want the dev team, I'm sure Barbie and I could figure something to tell you for the right amount of beer. I'm half tempted to see what they'd teach me though... :) -- Richard Clamp [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Quoting Richard Clamp ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): At least they only claim to be the maintenance team. Almost like boasting about being the team sent in to fetch the team sent in to rescue the hostages. Hang on, that still sounds like the original team needed to be rescued. I'd change that statement to 'boasting about being the team shining the boots and greasing the pickaxes of the team sent in to rescue the hostages'. Who are now apparently enjoying their beer. ;-) Cheers, -- Merijn Broeren | Software Geek | Yield to temptation; it may not pass your way again. |

It's a real pity, then, that most places don't have the first clue how to keep London Pride, and it often tastes a lot worse than it can at its best. MBM

If on the other hand you want the dev team, I'm sure Barbie and I could figure something to tell you for the right amount of beer. Only just seen this! They probably could only get away with saying they maintain it due to the amount of complex stuff in there, and potential legal implications if they said they designed it. But I'll agree with The Goth here, do we really want to associate with the buggers? I'm half tempted to see what they'd teach me though... :) Seeing as they're in Bradford, perhaps how to make damn fine curries. That's it, you've convinced me, where do I sign up? Barbie

There were posters up at London Bridge station about a promotion where the pubs on various of the London stations were giving away free pints, different days for different stations. I first saw the poster on May 5th. The promotions were either on May 3rd or May 2nd. Now, as the poster had a nice big picture of London Pride on it (IIRC) it is unlikely that I would have walked past it for even 1 day without noticing it. So I wonder if the cheeky buggers only put the posters up after the event. Nicholas Clark

However they have it cheap in cans and I have a couple most nights :) /J\
