Most of what you will need to learn has not been invented yet.
Yes this is not a career where you learn everything you will need to know in the first 5 years. That is what attracted me to it in the first place.
After having developed professionally for over 40 years now I am still learning things, most of which was not invented until way after I learned my first development skills. I know it will continue to be like that for the rest of my life. That is what keeps it interesting.

Only until the Scots leave.

The rolling savannah of Surrey is full of lardies. But to fair, a lot of the men are pretty bulged too.

If they included Scotland they'd have to pay for a bigger y axis on their graph.

I often wonder, there must be hoards of photographers out there taking pictures of fat people in various configurations (couples, singles). All with their heads out of shot. I doubt they have signed a consent form to have their image used (even with the face removed).

NEWS
noun newly received or noteworthy information, especially about recent events.
I think it counts under the 'mewly received' bit.

I'm 6'3" and 18 and a half stone, I need a woman who can take a bruising.
I see this result as a good thing.

Around the same as me eldest brother. One of the things I find interesting is the use of BMI. You will not find an international rower with a BMI under 30, many are close on 40, but are they 'unfit' or 'obese'? Rugger Buggers are the same, modern forwards, not the lard arses of yesteryear, are exceptionally fit and 20 stone on a 6'3" frame is not that big.
Bloody doctors, now where's my gin?

Quite, it is better to be fit than thin, although I am neither these days.
I am never going to be thin.

I am doomed to eternal thinness and it ain't always good. In my early 20's all the other back row players started to outgrow me and I started to take more beatings than I gave out. I had to move.
