This is now all turning very Freudian my Über-Ich tells me. And he was never a pilot though he steered us through our innermost thoughts, feelings and instincts.

Only if they navigate along the Thames, Ken. That darn left-lane-traffic got us confüsed easily.

You can blame those Heinkels for the O2...!

... and for that matter, is it coincidental you've picked on Canary Wharf for the central part of that image...?!?! :mrgreen:

An Al, they should have had her the other way round as that tail will create an awful lot of drag... :o

If things had gone well badly that would now be the Adolf-Hitler-Arena ...

Canary Wharf getting on that pic just shows how entrenched I am with Clifford Chance - I've been with that firm (and its predecessors) for close to 30 years now. Any personal consultant would despair at the sight of my CV. ;D

Two schools of thought there re CV and other's perspectives...
A) Why'd he leave...?
B) Loyal employee...

Longest I've ever been in a job is 7 years...

You say that like it's a bad thing...which I guess it might be in today's compulsively mobile workforce.

However, no doubt at this point Uwe is the "sage and wise old bear" of the company.

Me? 35 years in higher ed: 5 years at Washington State, 13 at Texas A&M, 17 and counting at Colorado State.  I wonder how Dr. Bassman's resume compares...?

Think I'm 20 years in the same chair at this point...current company merged with old company, so I add them both together

6 years aviation, 2 years music (read non-earning), 21 years catering and laundry equip, 11 years security eng.

33 years of road based work with a mileage in excess of 1,000,000 - as Uwe mentioned, a "lifer" - my view of driving round London (read any large city or its enviorns) is you get less for murder... :vader:
