    Why does our government insist on employing expensive second rate suppliers who consistently fail to deliver? We even pay them extra on the contract when thye over run.


    I thought Accenture would have turned it down after their last fiasco with the NHS
    Some people are like slinkys, totally pointless but the thought of pushing them down a flight of stairs never fails to put a smile on your face.

      Wendigo100 and me used to work at a site with this guy.
      Indeed. I can't remember what his expertise was - Tony would know better as they both worked under the Scottish bird.

        "I can't remember what his expertise was"

        He didn't have one unless you count picking scabs off his head and eating them
        Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

        I preferred version 1!

            Oh yes - He'd rub his big baldy head and then pick something from the back of it, stare at whatever was on his fingernails and then pop it into his mouth. OK the food at that place wasn't great, but I draw the line at eating my own scabs

              I'm glad I never spotted that!

              I remember Gordon Brown caught on camera in The Commons eating some juicy morsels from his nose earlier this year. Yeeuch!
