Hi,
My name is Rob Walker (Bet you never guessed that from my profile name).
I've been using Cognos since Impromtu 3 so about 15 years now and while I am a Londoner born and bred I've been living and working in the lovely City of Edinburgh for the last three years.
After working for JD Wetherspoon for a decade (no they don't sell out of date beer before you ask me), worked for a couple of IBM Partners and now decided to take the leap a few months back and go it by myself.
Cheers
Rob
Ooooh! I love guessing games! What does the "s" stand for???
???
Sylvester?
Stallone?
Sigfreid?
Sally?
Kidding aside now....I learn a lot from reading your posts and am glad you take the time to participate :)
Hmm, I quite like the ring of Sally
I've give you a clue begins with 's' ends with 'h' and have 5 letters ! That should keep you occupied for a while :D
Cheers
Rob
South, sloth, slash, smash, shush, slush, sixth, sinch, slosh
or maybe....Smith?
p.s. turns out there's an app for that!
Ahh thats no fun, your right its sloth :P
Lynn, I hope you didn't pay for that app. It's not very thorough.
Synth?
Smyth?
Ssssh?
or the less well-known (but definitely real) options
Smugh?
Sirgh?
Synph?
Seadh?
Sqzrh?
or, finally
Muppet?
Rob, we MUST be homing in on the real answer by now... ??
Well, while I admit 'Sqzrh' would be an interesting name to have and Sloth being an incarnation of the deadly sin is quite cool. But I will put you out of your misert by admitting in this instance to the relatively boring Smith !
Aha. Is that a middle name or a double-barrelled surname (if you don't mind me asking)?
Now we've got to the bottom of your 'S', I'm keeping a low profile :-)
MF.
No, it's not Flash Gordon, before you ask!
I'm sorry. There are simply too many F's there for me to make any guesses and not get banned from the site :)
Plus it isn't clear if the GF at the end is some superflous title acronym or if the FG in the middle is the bit in question
It's a middle and not double barrelled, so afraid I'm not aristocracy.
It's a kind of Scottish thing, one of my Dads grandmothers maiden names or something like that anyway. I can never quite remember

<sigh>. Flatulence may be a bad thing in itself, but will not earn you a ban.
But if it was that, you'd expect to see SBD in there, so I guess that rules it out.

Thanks Rob. Sounds very grand to me. So you have some Scottish ancestry?

Are, brays owe rate nar? :)
That's not a Scottish dialect, by the way, in case you're wondering. :)
Funnily enough I guessed tha, sounded a bit more like Manc to me :D

Close! Head 40 miles further south - it's Potteries Duck :)
Hope the Scottish accent isn't rubbing off onto you! ;)
To be honest MF after 3 years I'm holding out well. I still sound more Jamie Oliver than Gary Tank Commander (not sure if you get that programme down South) and I still call my girlfriend Duchess instead of Doll or Hen ;)
Although I must admit I have noticed over the last year my 'Yes' has become 'Aye' and didn't has become didnae. Of course if I get to going oot for the messages or I start to use the 100 variations of ken then thats me gone native!
Anyway enjoy your night in the Rovers Return ;D
Cheers
Rob
Ahhh - it looks like the first vestiges of the accent are starting to creep in there Rob! You need to be very careful - sending a PM to explain why! :)
