Hi all,

ORIGINAL: Grollub

I consider myself at least a little fluent in English, but I must admit I have absolutely no clue what "remuneration" is. I can guess given the context, but could somebody please enlighten me?

Strange that I've never seen that word before, with such a common meaning.

So long as the pressure of the interview does not cause your emollescence. [:D]

[DuckofTindalos]

We shall see. They called me, not the other way around.

[bradfordkay]

Is the redhead still there?&nbsp;

[DuckofTindalos]

She wasn't when I left, and I doubt she'll have returned. We shall see what happens; I don't really know what they want exactly.

That's cause most people would use "compensation" or "salary".

[DuckofTindalos]

Most people (including me) can't spell it either...[:D]

Oh Goodie... Now AE is made for JFB's. The other day it was made for AFB's.

I'm going to take a few days off from this place. I'm SICK of these sniveling, whining, worthless, scum-sucking, miserable, feeble-minded, cack-brained WANKERS!

See you later, Gang.

Why don't you go get a job, or something! [:'(]

Don't feel too badly about it. I mispronounced, misprinted and misspelled the word consistently until I was about 30 or so. And I'm supposedly a native speaker.

[DuckofTindalos]

So, the official patch 2 is now out.

[USSAmerica]

Thanks for the tip, T!

[Grollub]

Nice. Then it's finally time to start the PBEM ...

Hi. Found something really good. Thought I would pass it on. Was running out of the ordinary Pinot for the holidays and went to the wine store. He was all out of the Drouhin – oh, depression. But then he went out back and came out with a bottle of some stuff he said would drink really good. It was a bit young so I took it home, decanted, and let it sit for a couple hours and had a taste. Hoot!! Pazooties!! Stuff drinks like a Drouhin ’86, and it’s only $35.00 a bottle!! OMG! Cote de Nuits and Cote de Beaune better watch their keesters.

Ok. It’s Californian; label is Arcadian, 2006, Sleepy Hollow Vineyard, from Santa Lucia Highlands. Taste per buck is rated at 9.6 Woofs.

Was impressed, really impressed. It’s a teensy, weensie, weensie, weensie, bit thiner than a Grand Cru Classe, but for $35 a bottle vs $350??!!!

Definitely check it out if you get the chance.
