Yup I deserve all of em Cheers Len

I have been asked why I do not do consultancy work. Basically a bit idle I suppose in that now I am just short of the retirement fence. But where I am now nobody tells me how to do things in Access, I take no hassle from anybody and I enjoy what I do. Been working as an employee for a very...

Yup still working full time. Odd really when i think about it. But this job was on offer and its all about mucking with Access so I could not turn it down could I Still possibility of being poached about next Feb/March. Then I will definately go for a 3 day week. Wifey knows I am quite good...

Cheers Ken Well the age is definately "swelling". gets bigger every time

All the best to everybody. Last christmas I was made redundant. 6 Months retirement now working again. Next year ??????. Ah well fortunately I am close enough to that retirement fence. Tough times ahead so hope you all succeed in whatever you want to happen L

With regard to printing leaflets in different languages. Basically I do not agree with our governments (local or otherwise) printing leaflets in different languages. It is my belief (and therefore I could be wrong) that the number of languages and leaflets is excessive to the extreme. If...

Yes It has also dawned on me that if I were to consider permanent settlement in another country I would make the effort to learn the language. Both written and oral. I used to work for an english company with strong german connections. There came a time where I was involved in close liason...

errr okay positively abs.... oops

Thanks Rabbie Very interesting. I was not aware that Sweden produced leaflets in other languages. Also interesting to note that there is a % of the population tha thave similar views to a % of brits. L

Absolutely :D:D:D

I did read your post You stated that anybody with views such as Colin's was racist scum. Colin expressed a view that is probably held by a lot of people as Brian suggested. Okay maybe Colin's further explanation of his views was stronger that some others may have stated. As I said some...

Why thank you. A friend of mine (A gentleman of foreign extraction) proposed the thought to me that the English (or British if you prefer) are subject to so much racial discrimination it is unbelieveable. As Brian points out there are indeed a lot of people who feel that this country offers...

They can give thanks for new leader... we still have a bunch of idiots L

I do agree that Pitman Shorthand is the accepted standard but perhaps my grudging partial acceptance of text speak is because of the inability of mobile phone manufactureres to develop a full qwerty keyboard on their equipment that is user friendly and not larger than existing mobile phones...

There is only one way to correctly spell an English word. The English way. Text speak is a corruption of spelling. It is therefore incorrect. It "may" be used I suppose as a form of shorthand for notetaking and the like but in any form of document is it entirely wrong. That's the way I see...

I do think that even in these times there is a place for the "skilled" person. My experience tells me that truly skilled persons are in short supply. By skilled I do include all aspects of "skill". I have a Plan B and Plan C ready to action. There is unfortunately an attitude in this company...

Interesting question Not enough resources to retire at 45 so at nearly 62 still working although there is not an actual necessity to do so. Was made redundant last december and toyed with retiring then. Did so for 6 months but still felt I wanted the challenge. Saw current job and thought...

Birmingham at 16:45 is not the best place in the world. At 17:00 it is worse. Getting to work at 08:00 is considerably easier than for 09:00 Apart from that I very much value the early finish on friday. Appreciate the less hours bit but that is a minor consideration for me. L

Heck Brian I think I will do the decorating Trust that all is in hand now though. Always a joy to see you on the forum. Wisdom, wit and the experience of life from a Liverpudlian. Not a common combination That wil ruffle the feathers of a few L

Have had 5.25 million records in a single table. No size problem but retrieval was a bit slow. needed to tweak index's. But if you have a separete union query for each year you limit the records you are handling. Sort of give the user a choice. last I,2 or 3 years records, then add new...
