      awful book - absolutely hated it. When he moans about how bad his life has turned out, I just kept thinking "put the f***ing dice down, then twatty!"

        Now!!

        mmm it could be a hard one to sell

        A comprehensive and realistic risk assessment in accordance with our mutual risk appetite such that we can relate them to the potential related benefits!!
        "When do we want it?"
        In good time to undertake a thorough risk analysis and determine an appropriate strategy for responding to the risk!!!



        Hmm. Maybe I shouldn't have attended all those Management_of_Risk seminars.

          Richard, I have some good news. And I have some bad news.

          The bad news - I just rolled a six.
          The good news - Here, I have this brand new pillow for you

            I once worked with a PM who´d been an RAF pilot and fought in the Falklands. He didn´t really bother with risk analysis as his definition of ´risk´ was ´flying 20 foot above a mountain on a foggy day with 3 Argentinian fighters trying to blow your arse to smithereens´.

              My wife always harps on about "Isn't that illegal" and "the government should do something". I mean if you're gonna be stupid, expect the result you asked for - of course you're probably too stupid to realise that. Which is why we need laws and H&S - to protect the stupid from themselves.

                They must have about 100 police round Central station tonight as I passed through, asking for ID from anyone they picked out, seemed to have some 'pole' thing with lights on the top at every entrance. I assume it was maybe a metal detector of some kind and it would flash red, orange or green when people passed by.

                From what I seen they stopped a business type female, a few delinquents and an 'olive' skinned girl.

                36 quid over time though and a new initiative that will be in the papers tomorrow which will be hailed as a success.

                The usual junkie beggars that hang about the station were half way up the street in some kind of commotion, obviously upset about being displaced from their begging patches. Like wiping tulipe round you arsehole with a bit of news paper really.

                  Sounds like he was paraphrasing Keith Miller"
                  Indeed, when asked to compare the pressures of playing cricket with the war, he said: "Pressure, I'll tell you what pressure is. Pressure is a Messerschmitt up your arse, playing is not."
