thought i would join the party!! here goes.
the nickname Twogun has been with me since my very first job out of college nearly 20 years ago, some blonde screen technican said when introduced, "pete, what twogun pete?" i gazed at her, replied "no not really" but hey its stuck for all those years.
since qualifying all those years ago i have GD'd all my life, eat sleep breathe it. luckily i have worked on some major national and internationl brands in my time and finally made the jump to running my own buisiness a year ago this month!! (bugger must do my tax return today!!) i live in the sticks and work from home in Kent, southern county, views of rolling countryside makes me wonder why i ever worked for anyone at all, over the last few months i have resurrected many of my contacts from the multinationals i once dealt with and the big accounts are starting to roll my way, i guess that a measure of success would be that soon i will be having to take office space and employment of additional staff.
GDF, well stumbled on here a few months ago, strangely finding it a littel addictive, great crowd and loads of useful tip and advice, your never to old or experienced to learn a thing or two!!
my motto in life is simply to have a laugh although i sometimes think my humour is lost on here but hey thats the translation i guess.
passion in life, my wife michelle, golf, family life, golf, red wine, golf and comedy, oh did i mention golf?
anyway, dealines are a looming (pushes own web site project to the bottom of the pile for the 6th month in a row)
happy friday everyone, good luck to england tomorrow in the world Cup and keep up the excellent inoput on the forum everyone. its a credit to you all!

somehow, this whole golf thing fits you to a TEE. It sounds like you've got the DRIVE for it.
Of course, it helps that a little BIRDIE told me (it may have been an EAGLE) while he was in his CUPS. I tried to warn him that it was HAZARDous to his health... but then, he had a lot of issues he needs to IRON out.

I figured sarnie would make you feel more at home. Most yanks have no idea what one is.

thanks mate, did you know that the word "sandwich" was invented here when the Lord of Sandwich didnt want to interupt his golf round and ordered his caddy to bring some meat between two slice of bread onto the course!!!

I thought it was the Earl of Sandwich, but no i didn't know the rest of that story. That's why I think it's a good idea for all people from other anglophonic countries visit England. Discover the roots of the language. Then again maybe it's just me.

my apologies JP, what do i bloody well know!!! just googled it to find its got nothing to do with golf at all but gambling!!!! your thousands of miles away from me yet you know more about my own town than i do!!!!
"He is also credited with the invention of the sandwich (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwich), the name obviously derived from his title. It was long said that he invented the food to sustain himself while gambling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambling) without having to eat a full meal; he would never leave his seat at his gambling table and, when compelled to eat, asked his servants to bring him a piece of meat between two slices of bread. His biographer Rodger, however, points out that the sole source of this rumour was gossip mentioned in a travel book by Grosley (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Grosley&action=edit), and that at the period in question (1765 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1765)) the Earl was known to be very busy, and it is just as likely that this was for the purpose of eating at his desk. Sandwiches were likely eaten long before the Earl's life — for example, according to Jewish tradition, sandwiches made of unleavened bread and bitter herbs are eaten on Passover (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passover)."
by the way JP, what time does the village shop shut tonight, need some moo juice!

LOL! I haven't been to Sandwich. I've been over much of the south and much of the north, but that's one place I haven't seen yet. The mids I kind of glossed over entirely. But the shop closes at 8pm (GMT-1) ;)

good call with glossing over the midlands, personally i'd rather eat worms!!!

A lucky guess! ;) I live in west midtown manhattan. Native Noo Yawka, born in Brooklyn.
I do have friends who came from the mids, but they all moved out of em. Sept. I will see Scotland for the 1st time. I wanna get revenge on them for inventing golf.

When people say something is the greatest thing since sliced bread, they should really be saying that it is the greatest thing since the sandwich. Since you can't really have a sandwich without sliced bread, and the sandwich is probably the greatest thing ever invented.
hey twogun. :D
