Well there is not much to tell really, I moved here to get away from the world, it is true that being a Northerner in the south of england is not much fun, they drink crappy french beers and they are all skinny, they have never heard of rugby league and they think that Tim Henmen is a school teacher, well in short he probably would do a better job.
to cut along story short I joined the army and became a rifle nut back in the early 90's trying to be a sniper by trade but left in 1997 on the run from the military. I went to Europe with 18 quid, grew a beard and became a beach bum, worked as a DJ in Athens Spain and got swept up with the sicilian mafia in Italy and worked my way round the greek islands eventually seeking asylum in the south of England after doing 115 days in Colchester for going AWOL, those twunts.
Got married in 1998...had a couple of hippy kids then got a shave, went to UNI in Southampton started out at the NHS, and witnessing a lazy twunt of a DBA scott get paid shit loads of cash for doing sweet FA so I decided to follow his lead and train as a 'DBA’...stuck up a middle finger to the world (honestly that's how it happened!).
All I can say on the subject of working with databases is it is great and like looking after a big Tamagochi or summat. A DBA's life is really fun and you get maximum respect man. and of course there is allways loads of work to do, and fresh challenges. I tried the developer life it really sucks the sweat off a dead mans balls in my opinion!
To get around the south I drive a clio sport 2.0L which is 172bhp and does 0-60 in about 6.8 seconds topping a speed of 139mph I can get to work both in style and comfort with speed. The stories I could tell about this little box of dynamite would leave the reader indeed "shaking like the hind legs of a shitting dog!" either in fright or laughter - this now belongs to the wife!
