Well, currently no, well, yes, but on a maintainer contract after a project.
SO I am at home working on the house. (Believe me, I would rather be working.... try tiling a pool surround in full sun at 37C. Its a frigging nightmare)

I don't do anything in prolonged, direct sunshine anymore. If I work outside it is in the morning and late afternoon. During August, when it is the hottest, and most humid, I turn into a vampire and only come out at night.

Yeah, I gave up at midday, christ, it was insufferable, then slobbed out on the dark with the shutters closed. Sad really, but sunshine does, in excess, become an insult.

Stupid really, people getting upset by a smart idea, it's actually quite good.
Time to reign in another vintage practice, make it a stable product.

It is, it is readily available in France, it is a nice steak. Better than cheap beef for sure.
Mind you the frogs also eat fried donkeys ears, half pigs heads, and brains. The butchers section of a French supermarket looks like a battle field!

I was thinking, after reading the article...
Wow, this is 1 Euro cheaper per Kg... I need to try horsemeat...
(Don't tell the wife and daughter... They are sensitive about that stuff. They usually can't eat a meal if they know the name of the animal we are eating...)

I believe the problem is not so much that he used horse meat (as others have pointed out, it is considered a delicacy in many parts of the world), but that the burgers were not advertised as such. Were he to have sold them as beef-horse-burgers, and listed the horse meat in the ingredients, he would be in no trouble at all levels
(Whether he would still be in business is another matter)
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Reminds me of an incident from my misspent/well spent youth (you decide).
I was invited to a formal dinner by a lady who laid claim to a French title, principally on the grounds that I was shag.. er... walking out with her daughter. The entrée was horse meat. As a keen rider, riding to hounds on occasion, I declined to eat it. Englishmen do not eat horses.
The accusatory eye of the contessa fell upon me, and she asked if there was anything wrong with the meat. I replied "Madame, there is only one of God's creatures that I both ride and eat, and I can assure you it is not the horse".
At first, there was a stunned silence around the table, then some titters, and then guffaws from the assembled gentlemen. The ladies present looked at me with renewed interest.

Does your company hire "pushy" people simply because their building's doors are not automatic?

Wait... Does that also mean it has to hire "pully" people to open the doors from the other side?

The Seatbelts - Call Me Call Me (Performed by Steve Conte)[^]
After a week of absence it's time for a new SOTW! 
I'm still listening to the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack, though this is no bebop jazz.
Beautiful song sung by Steve Conte.
Don't we all want someone to call us to tell us it's going to be alright? (No, I'm not leaving my number) 
So anyway, I've been listening to this song for weeks and I can't get it out of my head.
Basically SOTPTW (Sound of the Past Two Weeks).

Nice! Somehow reminds me of the Eurovision though (probably because they mix folk with catchy tunes)

If only they knew the lyrics go like:
"Mariko, did you go to the cheese shop, because your face is as white as feta cheese ...."
here the original

No way! I use that pick-up line all the time!
I must say the original, while catchy, is missing the beats I like about the new version
*goes off humming about feta cheese...*

Reminds me a bit of ... The Beatles , or should I check my ears ?

Maybe you should check out The Beatles instead of your ears, they may not sound like you think they do
