No, don't believe those flyers posted on the lamp posts IMM. Only fools believe them, you can't earn 1000's of pounds a week from typing either...jeez, your type would believe anything - and I should let you near my gas supply?

No one here takes IMM seriously -I certainly wouldn't let him/her near anything:-)
Firstly DON'T TOP POST. secondly, most programmers I know picked it up.
Don't worry. I avoid Leeds like the plague.
Prick!
I had a gas engineer come to service my central heating combi boiler and whilst we were chatting, I mentioned that I could do with it moving to the other bedroom as the bedroom it was in was going to be converted to a bathroom. I asked if he could do it for me. He said he could but it would be cheaper if I did it my self and just call him in to do the gas feed. He knew I was competent at plumbing having seen work I had done previously. Some gas engineers though, say that you shouldn't even do any pipework whatsoever if it is connected to the boiler, including disconnecting radiators..... These I term as the robdog brigade..... morgan
As an IT person I'd second that. I worked on a project at a well known bluechip where there were 20+ contract programers earning £2k+ per week each. Most of them were learning on the job, you should have seen the amount of paper they printed off each week. Naturally, the project got nowhere and was canned after spending >£40M
I look down on cowboy manual tradespeople, unfortunately I rarely come across the other sort.

There are people on this newsgroup who know considerably more than most members of any guild of plumbers, and who give their advice generously. Some of them probably know more about programming than you do too.

Computer programmers dont sound very exciting to me either.
At the end of it you can always get a corgi registered installer to check it. Although there is no guarantee that even a corgi registered guy is going to do a proper job, IME.
Thanks, it's a relief to hear from someone with experience.
So many years learning on the job then..
Think what you like, in this case its true. To be so certain you would have to know the company and the actual project I'm refferring to. So who was it? You don't know do you? so who's the tosser big mouth?
And people gripe at the demise of the apprentice system too. I find in IT projects the qualified IT people are ignored over non-qualified con-artists. The results are there to see.
Very true indeed. What are your quals? A degree in pickupedness.
That are not. Ask him how many trains he spotted this week?
