    Milan.
    No, just a tad tongue-in-cheek about the laxative confections.

      An unfortunate turn of phrase.

          The problem is we both are contractors, he is more of "technical lead" sort of manager and has been around much longer than me.
          The guy who has hired me is a permie and has known me for a while as I have worked with him in the past. He sits above this contractor lead and is the main PM.

          In a permie set up, I know what the options would be. But in contracting world not really sure ! the client can simply say f off to me or both. Their priority will be project delivery.

          Thoughts? How to approach?
          Your only option is to come to my office and repeat it to my face

                The old man's pre-booked for Wigan Wallgate Gents', but Shauny is available if you've got mobility scooter access.

                  Sorry, was holding some PM's head down the toilet. What's up?

                    Jeepers. I wouldn't let Baldrick back-scuttle Shauny.

                      How long did he last before agreeing to sign off your timesheet?
