WOW so that's what I'm supposed to do :-)

Infrastructure at the moment is a Windows 3.1/95 Wan.  There are even UNIX boxes for the accounts systems running SCO. They are about to migrate to NT Yippee! so I will be involved in that (Cannot get away from the bugger! ).

I travel between Reading and the Leeds quite a bit ( 3 / 4 times a month ) and therefore have a company car, This is currently a Rover Coupe ( N reg ) I have just had to have the one side re-sprayed as the paintwork was pealing off ( Nothing like a quality car and this one isn't!). The company seems a good one to work for but no year 2000 bonus :-(

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the leaving bashes and may even pop down to Sunny old Bristol at some stage.

PS. If anyone applies and gets a job at FI through me ( instead of an agency ) I will spilt the ?2000.00 I get with them!!! Nothing like an advert for the site is there.

Stuff that we have obtained or invented here at TDC:

Lee is a man of many talents, non of which centre around cars ! At Susan Morton's farewell bash, we were definitely aghast at seeing the almost brand-new flash motor that undoubtedly came with his new job at FI Group !! Let me explain....

Lee 'Crash' as he was popularly known around work at AEL had the amazing ability to get lost on visiting almost every Sales Office he was sent to. The laughter of Andy Kent, Dave Morton or Jeremy Brown echoing down the corridors as Lee phoned up on his mobile from the side of some ring-road was a frequent occurrence.

Lee lived in Aylesbury when I first met him and quickly integrated into the regular 'Tuesday' social group at the AEL Social Club. The year was 1991 and we made a rather fruitful trip to Alton Towers on the 16th June in a minibus, kindly driven by Mick Holt. Four days later, Lee had succombed to the rampant advances of one Ann Calascione.

A month passed and Lee and I moved into number 9, Butlers Court, High Wycombe. This was where the fun really began as we learned the art of 'Behaving Badly' !! The place was a mess for most of the time but, occasionally, we would have a clean and a hoover (which normally ended with Lee taking 'Suction Sue' to bed with him!). One thing that dominated the flat within a month of us moving in was the Bulletin-Board. this story is covered in much details under the AEL 'Articles' section.

Lee's driving still hadn't improved at this time with a notorious sideways chip into a parked van !

Lee married Ann on the 8th July 1995 and now has a CB in the car in order to receive directions to work on a daily basis.
