Now, Doc can you employ my 2 year old so I can get some extra options for my next car? Her skills are: screaming loudly, biting and then laughing at any sign of pain from the victim etc.. she could help you rob bank robbers - her only weaknesses are that she is frightened of cats and is a Thomas the Tank Engine fanatic - she goes crazy when she sees anything to do with Thomas... bit like me with Golf GTIs :grin:

Title: Re: What jobs do you people do????
Post by: sadBastad on 30 October 2006, 18:31: got both.
totally different. gti is a great all round package with terrific practicality, easy to drive (with dsg), fast, and relatively economical.
balance, poise, handling of rx-8 in a different league and no turbo lag in a smooth seamless power delivery. But economy dreadful (best ever in nearly 3 years 22mpg) and driving in traffic a chore because of driveline shunt. in spite of many moans about gti quality it is no worse than the rx-8 in this respect (new alloys, cat, xenon self-levelers etc)
but I love them both....

I've heard it can be quite an abusive environment to work in - working on the IT systems of a bank in the City... and stressful too as they don't tolerate any mistakes - or is that a myth? By the way, I am an IT contractor in Telecoms R&D/Testing - much less stressful.

I'm lucky because where I am they are all a relaxed bunch, well mostly. I've also been doing this for over 10 years so I'm pretty thick skinned (some people will just say "thick") :wink:

I have heard horror stories at other banks where IT people have been marched off the premises because they have screwed up. It's very much in extreme cases though.

Cheers
