One thing I have noticed is that Baan appears to be a male world. There are very few women involved in Baan admin or running.

So ladies, come on up and show yourself to the men of this forum. We are new men and appricate the finer working members of this merry band...

Now, I can't promise there will be no flash photography, or even no flashing at all, but it would be nice to know which members of this team are of the fairer (well, okay cleaner fighting, no maybe not, more looks better in clothes) ***.

So do we have our first lady to stand up and by counted?

Tis indeed a man's world but our numbers are growing!! :)

Jan

I am very happy to see female baan admins and consultants joining our board. It brightens the board and our days :cool:

Hopefully you will see more of us here in time. :)

Hi Jan,

If you had not told me I would still deem 'Jan Park' to be a man. :) Thanks for correctin that! What are your interest in Baan up in Aberdeen?

Hi Patvdv,

Yes...I get that all the time!! People call expecting to talk to a man and get quite a surprise.

The address is a little misleading. I got involved with Baan as a key user on an implementation in a paper mill in Aberdeen which has now closed down so I find myself working as a Baan business analyst in Hemel Hempstead. (Makes for a long drive to work lol).

hehe,

Do you know that Hemel Hempstead would translate to Heaven Hempstead in Dutch? :-) Must be a wonderful place you're working in!

How's Baan business in Scotland these days? I remember from 2 years ago that there were alot of well paid job offerings for Baan consultants but I don't much see the name of Scotland popping anymore when it comes to job postings.

great, I post a subject hoping to find some woman to talk to and pat starts chatting the only one to answer up! Knew I should spend more time on this site....:mad:

Kevin the developer.

I new a guy called Kevin who did a lot of development work at that paper mill in Aberdeen - I heard they were using Baan ERP. I'll have to find his e-mail address and let him know about this site.:)

Hi Jason,

Can't say I remember Kevin too well....was he with CR Europe? Still at one point we had so many people doing development work it got hard to keep track! The implementation was 4c4 not ERP.

Pat, can't say that I know too much about jobs in Scotland in general but Aberdeen is mainly SAP so no jobs there!

Chris....you shameless hussy you ;)

Ah, not to worry Ravenscross. my conversations never went outside the domain of professional courtesy :D

oh well - I'll get in touch with Kevin anyway to tell him about the site.

Not sure if it's a man's world but if Kevin remembers you let's say that it's a small world.

Baan community IS a small world! I end up working with my old collegues all the time :D

Hey Jan,

Sorry to hear about the jobs. I am wondering if I should censor bad words like SAP :)

Hi Jason,

If he was there then he will remember. Infact poor guy probably still has nightmares thinking about it! Most of our development guys required therapy after being with us for more than 1 week.

I heard! Don't worry I won't repeat any of the stories he told me :D !

Aberdeen is a great place anyway - my bro and his family live there - I needn't mention which ERP software he and his wife work with - but it's not Baan - and you know the oil industry standard! Anyway - I heard those 3 letters are sensored on this board.

LOL Jason I shudder to think of the stories you've been told (most of them are probably true if not worse) I still suffer flashbacks in the middle of the night!

:p

Hey, I resemble that remark... sorry, resent that remark. I know Aberdeen well as well. A ex girlie of mine went to college for an Art course. Wasn't until I went to see her expo, that a portrait I thought has been locked away was used as part of her portfolio... I wouldn't have minded but her fellow students kept recognising me..... Thats as much as I'm telling...

(ah, youth!)

Might that have been Gray's School of Art (RGU)? If so I believe that they selll the work which has been exhibited at the end of the year. You never know, you may be gracing the walls of someone's house even now!:eek:

Slaps his cheeks and screams.....


Then realises that might not be the image people are now thinking of! :p

Now there's a mental image to scar those of us with a gentle disposition!:o

Ah the follies of youth indeed!

yeah - he was with CR Europe - not sure if he still is - I'll try to contact him.

Jason,

I think I do remember him, possibly worked on a sales delivery customisation we needed.

Hi,

My name is Julie - and yes, the men definitely outnumber the fairer ***! But that's okay, I enjoy working with men.

This is a great site. I've just begun to explore it.

I'm looking forward to making new friends...

Julie
:D

Welcome aboard Julz. Hope you to see around for a long time to come!

At last!! another girlie....welcome Julz:)

Well, it just goes to show that you can't tell whos out there until you ask.

PS Who the hell rated this forum? And why did it only get 2 stars

What language Mr Cross...... get out of bed on the wrong side did we??:)

Of course I didn't get out of bed the wrong side, there is no wrong side. As long as there is access to the floor, I have no problem which side I get out!

;)

Plus, I'm not really one for sleeping...... :D

LOL....I dread to think what you get up to late at night if your penchant for art is to be believed! Although I suspect late night re runs of Star Treck are in there somewhere.

:D

Me thinks the lady believes that she knows more than she tells, but behold, the mystic land of Star Trek has no hold on the life of this high living party animal..... I have other hobbies I wish to follow

;) :p

Nah....just an educated guess.

Party animal?????? High living ????? Granted you throw a great pub quiz but I'm not sure that qualifies:D


Just kidding !

What do I have to do to be counted?

With 4 posts you already made yourself heard Joy :)

Now now m'lady. Thanks for the compliment but I was only the one setting the questions, the 250 people answering the questions made it great.

And as for educated guess, I think I may be able to give you an education you won't ever forget! ;)

Now Now......Mr Darcy...calm yourself or we will have to sit you at the childrens table:D

I'll have chicken nuggets and chips and a big whirly icecream please (but only if I get one of those bags with the crayons in!)....

And Mr Darcy? I don't recall you being in my wardrobe to find those period costumes, they are just there for ... urm... a mate I'm looking after them, thats right ... (Note to self, must get better lock on wardrobe, and better look in wardrobe.. Lawrence Llewyn Bowen is not a good fashion role model)

Now you've just lost it!!......LLB PUHLEEESE

:) There has to be more sensible people here to save me from such insanity!

Mmm,

Maybe us admins should setup a private forum for you 2 kids to play in. Let's call it the 'The sandpit' :D

I don't know about that pat, a padded cell might be more appropriate for our moderator friend :)

That coming from a woman who has snails delivering her email!

What about a padded sandpit! That will go with my ruffled straight jacket with the big lapels... And look, a Ren and Stimpy brooch (..... uh? ..... )

'Tell my why, do we build castle in the sand?'

There's nothing wrong with my snail mail!

Anyway So far so good Julz & Joy have both sood up to be counted so to speak.....any more??

Or has Ravenscross scared them all away? Don't worry girls he's fine as long as he sticks to his medication!

Medication, medication, thats what you need,

If you wanna be the best, and stand higher than the rest,

Medications what you need...

*wanders off to try and find someone to open the top of the bottle*

[fx: clip clopping of a large white horse bearing a shining knight enters stage left]


My Lady, fear not... for I have come to save you from such idle frivolity.

Climb aboard my trusty steed and we shall leave this place of triviality....

:D

Sir Phil

[FX.. clip clopping]

Camera cuts to Phil with two coconut halfs running through the woods hoping that no-one can see that he's dodging the shadows he's creating on the trees...

Sir Phil, sounds like a poor british **** star

Hey, theres censorship on the site... When did that happen?

**** **** **** *****

Now the whole of that joke is ruined!

*goes back to the sandpit and starts to build a mound muttering something about lights in the sky and a big dome*

With pleasure kind sir !


How are all the "guys" doing?? Is Mr Buckingham knee deep in nappies yet?
:)

Helps if you include the quote...... I was of course talking to you Mr Shipley!

....closely followed by a lute bearing minstrel singing "Pray Sir Phil he ran away....."



Oh dear this seems to be turning into a Monty Python sketch....

Dead Parrot anyone?

Not yet but imminently....I shall keep you posted.

Phil

I knew it was too good to be true....the madness is spreading!!:)

Its time for something completely different.

I mean, has anyone noticed that sometimes talking to some users is like the arguement sketch...

'Baan isn't working right'
'Yes it is'
'No its not'
'Yes it is'

Darn, I've been rumbled - I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for that pesky kid!!!

Seen many of my movies?

Phil

I gave up after 'Sir Phil has his fill' starring the carry on crew and some of Ground Force...

Actually, the last scene I remember gave a new meaning to 'Ground Force' :p

One can only hope that you are refering to the charms or Ms Dimmock and not Mr Titmarsh!:D

Well, you of all people should know my preference for redheads!! ;) But I can't speak for Sir Phil. :confused:

Finally...someone has rendered me speechless...I don't even know what to say to that........:eek:

Yes

*leaps up and down and throws the ball to the ground*


Ha ha ha, I win.....

Now all I need is another woman to flirt with.... ;)

*walks away giggling with his hands behind his back*

lol....are you sure you're allowed out of the hospital unsupervised?

:confused:

They will never know as long as I pretend to be a medical student. Okay, so the hours are long and the pay is awful, but at least it has its perks...

*leans over the desk and says to the lady on the seat in front of him 'Thats right, just nip behind that screen'*

Oh my god, I think I'm going slightly mad... well at least thats an improvement.

This is getting far to silly.... Now where were we in this thread?

I'll tell you where you were.... the end!. For those who fancy chatting some more on the battle of s-e-x-es, you can open a new thread in the same forum and start anew. :cool:
