I still remember an Oasis gig from 97 I think (G-mex, great gig) and in an interview beforehand Noel saying that his family were watching on TV at home and he said they needed to make sure it was taped and rewound ready for him to watch when he got home. I don’t think of Oasis being an old band, but it was still millionaire rock stars taping off the TV era so obviously they were. Link to post Share on other sites

Some of the greatest films ever were B&Ws from the 1950s. I’ve been back and had another look - I confess I’d presumed it was black n white, it’s actually 1959 Technicolor, Walt Disney’s ‘Third Man On A Mountain’, a tale about a boy climbing an Alp.

They don’t care, they want to do their day job, they don’t give a **** about deadlines. I hate it. I hate sending the email just checking in on how you are doing. I know how they are **** doing as no data has been created. I would abolish it. I have completed SIT now **** you. Release it to Production. We went live on a new platform recently. Our existing platform for UK and NWE (non Germany) is pretty mature and the users kinda know what they're doing but the new one (Zee Germans) my word... They know nothing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
