Worked as head programmer for Telstar creating the back ends for interactive Video catalogs, went on to work in securing communications for telecom companies, probably sounds a lot more interesting than it was, met Kevin 5 years ago and we've been working together every since LOL exactly the same time i started running out of money funnily enough; but then i get a lot more beer and curry working for Kev than i did at Telstar so....Originally posted by dbirider
