When I said "consider it done" I meant it was in the past tense :)
And only for those who turn up ;)
Talking about whisky, I tried Penderyn Whisky (note no "e") and liked it. It
tastes like an East coast whisky and does not have that peaty taste. It seems to
me that it is midway between Irish and Scotch as it does not have as much of the
fire of Scotch but not as mild as Irish.

That's the Welsh one, yes? Must see if any hostelry round here sells it.

You'd start an argument in an empty room, would you not? ;)

What I would do:
Obviuosly 1 of 2 things will happen: you'd eventually explode in fury
(if you keep it to urself) or you'll get fired if you dare to say it as
you feel like it. So, waiting to explode is always the worst case
scenario thus a more diplomatic "go fuk urselves if u think u can treat
me like this" good bye speech could be a better solution IMO so they'll
treat with more respect and intelligence the next dev. and u'lll get
some peace of mind in another job/place. Is not a neat solution but I
think u get dignity, they learn a lesson and u do something u were
afraid to do, look for greener fields...

I'm obviously not keeping it to myself. But I'm not telling them yet.

I'm a consultant again at this point. Part of the problem is they're
trying to get me to abandon my other customers to do nonsense work for
them. Getting "fired" is not really that much of a problem.
I thank you for your advice. I was more just venting (with what I felt
was a clever turn of phrase) really. :-)
