Yep, spreadsheets, databases, websites etc. all really simple stuff. What A levels did you do? Accounts, Maths, Computing (did 1st year of geography and psychology as well but found both boring), never bothered with any of them in truth i was 17 and couldn't be fucked and knew i could pass exams with minimal work when i needed to (i basically read things once and can remember it), didn't bother sitting any of my a-levels bar computers which ironically they couldn't read my abysmal handwriting (which was fair enough i could barely read it, writing at exam speed made it a pain in the arse to keep legible and they wouldn't let me type it). lol actually was walking into my psychology exam and got to the door and thought "i cannot be fucked sitting here getting hand cramp for two hours" turned around and went to see enemy at the gates...rather have had the hand cramp with hind sight. So never bothered with uni and just went to work instead, few years of generic clerical work and keeping my eye out for i.t posts, eventually one came out with criteria of degrees or certain accreditation's. Picked out one of the accreditation they needed, paid a few hundred quid to sit the exam for it without taking the course, passed it first attempt. That got me to the aptitude test phase for the job, came 3rd out of a couple thousand in that (which as my mate who met me for lunch after the test still can't believe how highly i scored as i hadn't slept in 3days and my eyes were bloodshot etc was dead on my feet tbh). Came in the top panel for the interviews (don't find out actual placing for it but top 5 anyways out of couple hundred going for 30 posts), which got me the job. like i said if you don't have the letters after your name you need to know your stuff and get a really lucky break, which thankfully i did with the timing, i doubt it'd be possible to do the same now. Jesus you must be smart then. Don't you regret now not actually sitting those exams but? regret not going to Uni aye more for the experience than the outcome although it would make going for jobs easier than it is now (no degree for me means building up the "or X yrs experience" angle for shortlisting) then i don't know if i'd have the same job as i do now if i did, guess it'd be likely i'd have something similar going on how my mate has ended up down the same sort of path. Never know though, atm i'm the youngest in my office by about 5yrs, rest are all uni grads or in the job/dept for 15yrs+, all my group of friends went to uni only really one of which (the one above) earns more than me, some would be a good 6k a year or more less. Either way happy enough where i am for the moment, do the job i said i wanted to do as a kid (not making mario games mind) and i'm well paid for it, been thinking about taking an O.U degree just to see if i could get one tbh, and with one of those it means i can batter through it quicker than it's intended. Well least you ended up with a job that pays well and that you enjoy. is jobs in the I.T sector hard to get? Yes, they is.

Banks haven't been lending a fucking bean for at least 2 years. It is virtually impossible to get a penny out of them at the minute, for a start up I dread to think how hard it'll be to get backing.

Credit where its due though gents… Kevin has dreamt of working as a burger monkey since he was old enough to realise his Daddy was "wrong".

Kevin's astounding lack of irony in moaning about derailed threads has cheered me up no end.

No but I take it you've read Dracula. Indeedy. Felt compelled to wear moody make up and cut myself afterwards. And go to Whitby? Lettuce know what you think as I love Dracula (but read it years ago). Will do. ( it's free on iBooks btw)

Jimbo heading to Texas with a book on conspiracy theories under his arm. Patsy in the making imo. Well, now you mention it me and Mrs Jimbo are headed to Dallas at the weekend to visit Dealy plaza and the school book depository, it's set up exactly as it was on the day of the shooting, so accurately it doesn't even have a Lee Harvey Oswald at the window. Goes without saying you will be taking Mrs. J. up the Grassy Knoll
