The recent thread about it being to cold to work in the shed had got me wondering what Midge is.
This forum is Midges library,
He just had a lend of Grunt. :D
There was this a couple of years back, now the cold(?) weather on the Sunshing coast. Grunt may be onto something.:D
I put other. There is no 'all of the above' option. :p
I would have voted for "balding, soft poof from queensland" but again, there was no option for that either.:D
I resent that Zed!Quote:

Do they speak Queenslish?
He's a sensitive soul, many creative types are.
Don't be harsh on the old fella...I've heard that the temperature on the Sunshine Coast can absolutely plummet... 18-19degrees is not unheard of in the depths of Winter:rolleyes: :p !
Cheers

After running a large "practice" for several years, I discovered that the "managers" who were my clients representatives earned more than twice what I did, and knew only a third, and had no responsibility that I could see. I jumped the fence and to my dismay discovered that they got away with it because most of the architects I was dealing with knew even less! :eek: :eek:
Sadly, times haven't changed.... but one could say that in almost any trade or profession these days.

Yeah, I really wonder how the world really functions. I deal with middle management of quite a number of organisations. 1 in 10 know what they are doing.
and that 1 out of the 10 is probably at the bottom of the dung heap coz he spends time managing instead of playing politics to hide his incompetence
