    I went outside to get some herbs about an hour ago.

      New one for me today... ClientCo outsource their development. My second development spec went through this morning. I was contacted by the developer over an hour ago. He started by saying "I have some doubts with your development request"
      Not "I have some questions" or "I don't understand", but "I doubt". To get round his doubts, I split the spec into sentences, each one followed with "do you understand that?"
      After a few minutes he asks a question. I scroll up the chat, copy and paste the relevant bit, including where he said he understood it.

      Oh dear.
      …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

        Does he know the difference between DB rows and columns?

        Some of our "BAs" struggle with that concept.

        Good Luck, you are surely going to need it

          Hmm reminds me of last month in Bangalore - yet there are still people in clientco (clientco was not directly involved in that meeting) happy to continue the façade rather than plan a proper fix prior to the forthcoming disaster.....
          merely at clientco for the entertainment

              Home!

              Back in 1h 16m, which is about as good as it gets

              And, in the hall, I encountered the new resident of the first floor back, which has been empty for a few months. It appears to be a Frenchman with one of those beards that are so popular among young hipsters nowadays.

                    Has it got one of those curious little topknots which seem quite popular amongst the young persons of ?male? gender these days?

                    I have an almost uncontrollable urge to cut them off when I see such things in the lab.

                      I see that the current and long lasting BBC obsession with gay broadcasting has a nice half hour in the R4 "comedy" slot.

                      It must be said that the gentleperson in question can be quite amusing at times.

                      I particularly like the way he spends his time picking up litter.

                      Very quaint.
