Only once. I used to do contract work and coming off a contract I was physically and mentally exhausted – burnt out. Word had got round however of what the team I worked for had achieved and so I got a call offering me triple the pay on a similar job. My response was an automatic rejection and I then took nine months…

I too have managed to break / lose pretty much every pair of headphones I’ve owned (bar some Sony noise cancelling ones which I only use for flights). I even managed to break a pair of titanium Audio Technics which should show how cursed / klutzy I am.

If I may say, I see nothing wrong with you saying "Designed an email that got a 4% click-thru rate". You did design it after all and the design did contribute to it's success. The first thing people see when they look at an email (apart from who it's from, subject etc) is the design.

It's funny - half of the core models are hatchbacks.

Amen. I agree with all your points.

I think there are a number of reasons, the main one being as you say, the sheer size of the US and the fact that for a long time the major telcos were regionally based (from the break of Ma Bell). Therefore they didn’t really have any major incentive to upgrade when they didn’t really have any competitors in their…

Ha! This is (poor) redesign I did two years ago in Paint from a snap of the car configurator. I think it would look much better if they kept the Rapide grill with the vertical bars in line with the horizontal

These two still go racing - especially Ulrich Bez

It was this guy

Hmm... on the one hand it's tough and pretty damn fast, but on the other, boy does it attract attention and there is no way you're gonna fit a body in the trunk.

Great list but there's no way the TT shouldn't be the winner. My Dad did the East African Safari Rally in the sixties. I showed him a video of the TT and he thought all the riders were insane.

Yup. This. Nothing else comes close.

Once I actually walked out before I even had the interview. They kept me waiting for 30 minutes with no apology or idea of when the interview was going to take place. As I walked out the receptionist asked me where I was going - I told her I was clearly in the wrong place.

OK - I've known Knighstbridge since I went to study in London some 25 years ago and it was never a 'quiet residential area'. It's always been a concentration of wealth only equalled in a few other places in the world. It has about as much in common with a quiet residential area as the backside of the moon.

Spot on.

There are a few of reasons:

Nothing as bad but once on the motorway a van in front of me clipped a piece of 2 x 4 about 8 feet long lying by the central reservation, which then span out in front of me and I went over it at 90mph on the passenger side. The amazing thing was the car didn’t even move one iota from its track. To this day I still…

Having been lucky enough to drive a Continental and a DB9, I'd go with a DB9 in heartbeat.

Looks like an Oliver to me.

I do understand business. Very well. In GM's instance the preferred stock is locked up - after all it went bust and had to be bailed out by the Government. It was viewed as a strategic asset of the US which is why it was given $billions in bail out funds when it went to the wall. The markets couldn't take a full…
