Once read a Star wars book about the AT-AT driver who pointed out a possibly critical design flaw of the AT-AT prototype. He found himself quickly transfered to his new post. With the stormtroopers, who were not be happy to be called 'foot soldiers'.
At my first employer we had some meaner names for the infantery, like mudskippers or moles. And they always stink like moist soil.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

I have had some humours agents, like the one who phoned before 10 am on a Sunday, this one who texted Sunday night, the one who wanted me to climb up Wind turbines and others...

Just realised that I spelt competencies wrong in the technical competencies header on my CV that I've been sending out for the last month or so.
Strangely it doesn't seem to have put many people off, if they've even noticed. My face. That's what puts them off.

Topper tip - instead of writing in capitals, use 'init-cap' format on the font to make it look far more betterer.

If the section headers hadn't been in all caps then it would have been obvious to people that I'd made the mistake, although then I wouldn't have made the mistake. Hmm.

That's a shame as you can always correct the typo.

Well, looking at your profile, it does seem to be made from mashed potato, beans and sausages ... that would put me off at a job interview to be honest!

Yeah, I'd ask what has been happening but I'm guessing there has been a lot of talk about Bacon, PompeyBoy has reincarnated several times and Q&A's is still annoying ... Is that about right?
How's the job hunting? Not great I suppose from your other post?

Did he want to be a politician or something?
I bet he sold the Dalek suit...
If a candidate turned up on my doorstep dressed as a Dalek I think I might vote for him / her, after all it would liven up Prime Ministers Questions.

No bacon, what did he think?
Chocolate dipped bacon, that would be something.

Yes, which is why it is almost impossible to proof read your own stuff if the spellchecker doesn't catch it.
You know what the words should be, your brain tells you they are the right shape and size, you move on.
A few years ago I walked up to a glass door, it said push on it, so I started pushing, it would not open, I pushed harder, still would not open, then I realised the word push was written on the otherside of the door, and although it looked backwards to from where I was stood my brain had 'helpfully' translated it for me.

Am I correct in assuming you spelled it INCONTINENT ?

On the bright side, if you can't spell, they won't ask you to write documentation.

Hello, 9-1-1? We've been attacked by what look like German zombies from the Second World War! And we set our cabin on fire by accident!
Which movie?
