    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

            1x Indian will do it, his twin brother will probably do the late shift but he won’t tell you that.

                If it's on the internet, then yes take it as gospel.

                  We ran 3 mainframes 365x7x24 supporting over 5000 users sometime back with only 2. Automation is the new support staff

                    3* 8 hour shifts plus a reserve.

                    Actually if you ask my current ClientCo, 2161;

                    1 who does the work.
                    1 who pretends to be able to take over but can’t.
                    1 Team Manager
                    1 Project Manager
                    1 Compliance Officer
                    2 Project Secretaries
                    362 Purchasing Managers
                    737 HR Consultants
                    62 Lean Six Sigma Consultants
                    27 Process Managers
                    960 Bob Shawadiwadis to produce untested cack
                    5 directors to take most of the money
                    1 agent to take 30% of the money and complain that margins are under pressure
                    And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014
