all the new techs .. .they're women aren't they?

[Twiglett]

and yet there's still a certain kind of frisson in the postings towards them

what a delightful stereotype ... simpering women and manly techs

No we have one woman - NikitaTech (there's a clue there somewhere). She is our developer.
And BigTech - who is a man, and big - he's more technical operations and more likely to talk directly to you (in non-Tech language)

YetMoreTech is kinda an overseer boss type - he has other jobs however and is more of a consultant than an employee. (He's a guy too)

Tech (the original and the best) who is in NYC still occassionally pops a head in to talk about soaps too.

Anyways whatever the gender, feel free to frisson if it makes you happy.

Oh and we had Lapin helping out for a bit but she was clearly too clever and liable to upset the rest of us, so we binned her .

pmsl justine my dear bro is a tech and big and a bit sketchy about his new job AND loves soaps (the big girl)

your BigTech isn't a big scots ginger tech who denies having a wee sister is he

Not unless he's dyed his hair.

DH is a tech .. his solution to everything appear to be to turn it off, turn it on

OMG Twiglett - are you married to a big ginger scots bloke?!?!?!?

well I've alus been crap at accents but I'm pretty sure he's Irish .. oh and he's not ginger either so I am not your SIL

thank fark because tbh am not that fond of her

and well done on marrying an irish, they make the finest husbands I find
