We have git hubs all over the UK. They're also known as Weatherspoons.

It might be a British thing, with a wrong spelling of Wetherspoons[/url]? (which would make googling it a bit more difficult)

Yes it is, top work Luis. Wetherspoons is known over here for being inhabited all day long by old men because the beer is cheap (it's often very good too). So they are hubs for all the local old gits.

Edit: as Blobby well knows, they are also famous for their stonkingly good breakfasts.

Thank you, Chris. I can now say that I learned something new today. 😛

This code was generated by a tool.
Does anyone else subconsciously say "You can say that again" whenever they read this comment in auto-generated code? 🙂
It's more appropriate for code generated by certain human beings than for some auto-generated code.
Who's going to be first to use it here?
"Was this code generated by a tool?"

I guess we have a winner. 😀

Aahhhh. I got the "gits" part. It was the rest I was missing. Thank you for the insight.

No, not at all. Wetherspoons business model used to be - and probably still is - to buy beer which is on the cusp of going out of date at a reduced price and sell it quickly. Branches which host a large enough hub of old gits enjoy high turnover of product so none of it gets stale. If the beer is poor at your local, try the busiest in your region.

Man, take a week and change off from here, and have a lot to catch up on...

Forums being moved to a new back-end, cheap beer pubs with hair in the food...

At least my back-up DBA (who's an Oracle goddess) was able to keep the nitty-gritty caught up so I wasn't inundated when I got back to work today.

Welcome back to work. Thankfully you didn't have anything horrible to deal with...unless you want to count the hair in the food.
