Thanks expat & Peter. Not so sure about the lawsuit. Maybe another from Peter when he realises what I'm saying about his car?
expat, I see perhaps why you liked the "tyre" joke. I even googled to see if some manufacturer uses DB2 in the model name, and found Aston Martin do. Any advice about a 10-year-old Toyota Picnic with dodgy A/C (in a heatwave, of course)?
My teachers were constantly supportive of my comedic talent, often suggesting that I should consider circus-related studies, particularly in the specialist comedy area. Indeed, they seemed to already think I was fully-qualified.
I have completed a sitcom script, where I'm casting David Attenborough as the lead. It is 26 40-minute episodes, and my working-title is "Laugh on Earth".
As an option, when I started out in programming, I thought I should also open a trampoline factory. Then I'd always have something to fall back on. |

| In an out-of-court settlement, a former Irishman has agreed to drop all court action against "Bill", in exchange for stealing his sitcom idea for "a different forum". |

On the other hand, do you think, IT is a good choice, these days, as a main-career at all!?  |

LOL - that's true -- but even if I write the best code of lines, for the given application, for a maitaince kinda project - who is really bother about it!
As Dick(dbz) has pointed out many times -- a rookie programmer will always be rookie unless he is willing to learn and when such a rookie is at senior position ...
I believe, schoolls should not just give education also should teach how to make a livelihood! |
