Oh tell me about it ! Sorry I left out the wink in the previous btw.

Doing something like that a few months ago led to me losing my driving
licence. The guy whose computer I was fixing (he was crying like a child
on the phone to get me to come over) argued with me over what I was
doing. After 1 1/2 hours it was OK again. And I designed him 2 damn
websites for free TOO !

I was so furious I went out and bought a 4 pack of strong lager to calm
down and drank the lot.

About 5 hours later I had to go out. Thought I was sober and got pulled
over by chance. And that's after 32 years of a completely unblemished
licence too !

Plus it may also lose me an upcoming interesting new op****tunity
involving a Chinese company and UK company sort of merging, since I'd
need to drive to the UK place (too far and out of the way to commute).

Bastard.
