    The Swiss bureaucrat who decided that part of the requirements to pass the local equivalent of the MOT is a steam-cleaned engine.

    And Simon Cowell.

    And Dim Prawn (not, not our one).

    Finally, the entire partnership of Lodestone Consulting.
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

        a simpering simpleton of a Labour MP called "Red" Dawn ("Dim Prawn") Primarolo, formerly a treasury minister who introduced IR35. She was also responsible for and cocked up the Child Tax credit system, and later had to apologise to Parliament for misleading MPs about this fiasco.

        It's surprisingly hard to find an image of her, but there's one here

          People who smoke outside, walking on the path in front of me when I've gone out for a spot of fresh air.

            Never heard of them before, but their profile of "accelerated growth" has the alarm bells ringing here. Probably more bothered about the next acquisition than providing customer service.

              She has a bit of a fish face, not helped by those bubbles in the back ground.

                  That's remarkably incisive. One of their partners once said to me "Perception is everything". Which clearly shows that his view is that actually delivering is optional (especially as the provable and documented quality of what they ended up delivering). Or, as one of my colleagues succintly put it. "**** perception".

                    I used to think she was a bit of a fox: Dawn

                    But your picture has put me right off.
