elanthis - hilarious! But the author forgot the bit that goes:

We will offer you a position that promises wonderful conditions, superb security, lots of responsibility and a great time. But we will not pay you. And we will still not take you on despite our promises.

Okay, </ironic humour>.

Been searching around for some nice css designs. Mine's okay, but a bit naff...

NAFF: Apparently, naff is a polari word (Wikipedia link) it originally meant "Not Available For F***ing" (and hence not worth bothering with), but was popularised by TV shows such as Porridge - and then became an acceptable expletive.

...and I wanted something a little more tasteful while still "accessible" and of optimal utility. Hmm, very pompous.

Talking of pompous, the external examiner of my Ph.D. criticised my work (IIRC) as being composed of "pompous academic verbiage". I immediately retorted: "it's better that pompous non-academic verbiage" which seemed to end the issue. Funny really: I spend years trying to lose my natural fluid style to become more academic, and then get criticised for it during the biggest examination of my life. Sheesh, life, eh!
