Which companies did you interact with?
people are very friendly, even more if you dont speak the language!?
Send you a pm about stickers, do you send them abroad or not really?

Re: My lion hdi 110 Estate =)
There were 4 companies we used altogether plus a couple of test houses, I remember Moldene because they had the lions share of our work, but can't remember the names of the others. As I said some lovely people but they were nuts, working long hours and ignoring health and safety, don't think I met anyone who had all their fingers!! I hate business travel generally but actually have many fond memories of my trips out thereMig5 wrote:IT is a small world indeed.

Yes mate, I'll ship the stickers anywhere worldwide for the same cost, it's only an airmail letter so it's not stupidly expensive. We're all about encouraging a global community

Call it what you like, but hardwork is not something the Portuguese are afraid of, I only discovered that when I moved abroad and had to slow down to everyone else's pace. I do miss the weather and cheap beer.

Come to the UK to work - There will be Tea Breaks, Clock-Watching, Time-Off for various personal problems, complaints about not being paid enough but not doing anything in return to warrant it, oh and Meetings.........lots of meetings [Read: Talk bullshit, make it sound optimistic......then leave things as they were before]Mig5 wrote: Call it what you like, but hardwork is not something the Portuguese are afraid of, I only discovered that when I moved abroad and had to slow down to everyone else's pace.

I'm sure DaiRees is a trained Flippy-Chart operative? I think he was also going for his 'Red Pointy Pen' diploma but fear he may have failed this.
