Just making a flying visit to the pub ....sorry to hear the news Tel...but as Snoopy says...there is definitely life after redundancy... hang in there!!!! I'm over in the UK 'enjoying' the wonderful weather!!!  eeek:  Just spent the day in Norwich punishing the credit card..... as LL is tied up in Cyprus (well..not literally I hope!) I thought I would take over the retail therapy. Gor heavens save no-one tell Mr T!!!!!!!!!!  scared2: 

Now have to get ready for son no.2 to take me out for dinner...oh what a life!

T'aint the shops m'dear .... 'tis the locals. "Too slow to catch a cold" as my old dad would have said.

If I want shops I have Manchester and London much easier to reach than Norwich and the parking in either is easier as I recall.

Norwich used to be part of my patch some 15 years ago and getting the local police moving was nigh impossible. One of my contracts was to provide security at the Crown and Magstrates Courts so I spent some time there. Also had the contract with Jarrolds printers, Colemans the mustard people and several others.

I don’t think climbing in through the skylight with a bag marked ‘swag’ over his shoulder really counts…  noooo:

I was thinking something similar myself BM
No never went to County Hall but if you remember the new Law Courts being built I was there a lot then. Or if you watched the justices turn up for the innaugral "swearing in". Them in long robes, wigs and stocking etc, Trumpeters from the Local Regiment and lurking in the background a silver haired chap with a large moustache, wearing a pinstriped suit and an "earpiece" with curly lead down under the collar, who talked out of the side of his mouth into a small mike on his lapel. That was me being as inconspicuous as 6ft, 16 stone security people can be.

And before Nick gets in .... yes I was that slim then ~ but it was before age, running pubs and diabetes all got to me.

Am now in the process of hooking up old and new PCs. What fun!

KVM and switch works fine but as the 2 machines are in different domains, connect them and transferring data and settings is going to be fun. having to remember the black arts of TCP/IP etc.

Remember

www.skillfair.co.uk

A new life beckons.And a more lucrative one. When I got made redundant I put enough money into my account to cover all DDs and Sos for 6months so I could forget about bills while I got on making some money.

11 years on and I have a better quality of life than I ever did when working.

Seriously(for once)

I had fun with that site. Signed up as client so found I was looking for employees, so cancelled and signed up again. Confirmation emails then trashed my Outlook Express making it freeze only to be undone by a re-boot. managed to get rid of messaages and email was then fine.
Same day I bought a USB keyboard as KVM was USB only. Just as well as during the email problem the batteries in the wireless keyboard ran out.

NOTE - USB keyboard is not recognised when you boot Windows, so no F8 and getting into safe mode!
