I seem to think he had brummie accent and seemed less positive & or scary.

I had to look "Brummie" up, so it means a Birmingham accent
|

Oh sorry, wasn't really paying attention! trying to think how phrase, got the bloody thing shipped despite interference...  Being from Holland you have probably heard the accent. He also called from a Private Number and asked me to call back...

He has a point. I keep a master resume that has a ton of detail. The last time (5 years ago) when I was job searching I would create job specific versions of it.

Point, but that does raise an issue I have am wary of, I used Java 8 in a bit of a project to do X I am far (very far) from being a Java guru. If the agent or hiring manager is using buzz words to hire,
I'm not sure I want to be there...

A Scotsman, an Englishman and an Aussie are having a drink in America.
"You know", says the Scotsman: "I still prefer the pubs back home. In Glasgow there's a little bar called McTavish's. Now the landlord there goes out of his way for the locals so much that when you buy four drinks he will buy the fifth one for you."
"Well", says the Englishman: "at my local pub, the Red Lion, the barman there will buy you your third drink after you buy the first two."
"Ahhhhh, that's nothing," says the Aussie: "Back home in Sydney there's Bruce's Bar. Now the moment you set foot in the place they'll buy you a drink, then another, all the drinks you like. Then when you've had enough drinks they'll take you upstairs and see that you get laid, and it is all on the house."
The Englishman and Scotsman immediately scorn the Aussie's claims. But the Aussie swears every word is true.
"Well," says the Englishman: "has this actually happened to you?"
"Not me personally," says the Aussie, "But it did happen to my girlfriend."

Correct.
As it was my first one, I had no idea if it was too easy or too hard. Obviously, a bit on the easy side.

Don't let Griff be the benchmark for too easy... he is pretty darn good at them after all.
It was a good first clue

Yumi Kimura - Always With Me (Piano)[^]
This is part of the soundtrack of Studio Ghibli's movie Spirited Away.
Except that the original has vocals and this is a piano-only arrangement.
I've known the song for years, but didn't hear this piano arrangement until last week.
Already got the sheet music for it so I can try it out for myself.
Pretty much every song of every Ghibli soundtrack was written by Joe Hisaishi, but this song was apparently written by Yumi Kimura, who I think also sings on the original.
Amazing and soothing song and very much SOTW

That reminds me... did you get around to playing Ni No Kuni 2 yet? If so, how do you compare it to the first?

As a matter of fact, I did!
Got my platinum trophy about a week ago.
Tried the DLC's, but those were mainly lots and lots of grinding, so I played about half of those.
I never got the platinum for the first because that required lots of grinding too.
It's not nearly as good as the first.
Maybe because the first was new and fresh and this one is more of the same.
The battle system is slightly different though, you play with the people instead of small creatures, but there are still small creatures around that give you bonuses and trigger special attacks.
What I didn't like about it was the story, or lack thereof.
In the first few minutes, there's a coup in Ding Dong Dell and the would-be king Evan goes out to make a new kingdom.
Of course you have to visit several cities and everywhere you come is a bad guy who has evil plans.
Still, I enjoyed it enough to platinum it, so I guess it's not completely fair to say I didn't like it
If the first was a 9/10 (or even a perfect 5/7!), this one would be closer to a 7/10.
Joe Hisaishi's soundtrack is great as always.

Well done on the plat.
I gave up plat for both of them, the first one was way too grindy with having to do all the recipes (and collect the ultra-rare ingredients). The second, I think I was put off by the side quests where you go through those doors or something... it's been a while since I played it.
I definitely preferred the first one too. Just something about the characters/story in the second that didn't work as well, but like you said it could have been the "then uniqueness" of the first one that made it so enjoyable.
I hope they will do a 3rd one though, even if it's more of the same.

Very calming. Loved it.
You got me thinking about soothing film music - and this sprang into my head. As well as being the soundtrack to my youth, it was used in, (probably), the greatest ever horror movie. For such a peaceful piece of music, it works incredibly well.
