People behind me calling themselves ‘The A Team’

Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office. -
Mr. T may be the most well known for his jewelry and accessories. He was always seem with a large number of gold necklaces on as well as rings, bracelets, etc. Few of us know that this style originated during his days as a bouncer. He would work at the club outside the door controlling who was allowed into the club and who wasn't. When patrons would leave jewelry at the club or take it off before a fight, or lose it in the fight, they were blacklisted from the club. Mr. T would stand outside wearing the discarded jewelry, so that if the owner happened to return, there was no need for him to reenter the club to claim his lost jewelry. Most often those who lost their jewelry there never returned for it, so he ended up with a lot of gold chains.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

I forgot about Holborn, I worked there too, in HSS as it was then, putting together a Natural/Adabas/TableBase guide for the rest of the developers. What about Martin Willis, who was profoundly deaf but still a good PM?

He "objected" to what we were doing.... and cos he had been there longer than forever he moaned to the senior guys and got their backing.... particularly unofficially....
We arranged a meeting to identify his "issues"......
We addressed/resolved the "issues".....
He came out with more....

Credit where credit is due - he was persistent!!
and the main problems weren't him "defending his patch" it was the fact that the Management "supported" us in public but undermined us in private and none of them had the balls to tell him to JFDI..........
Hey Ho..... Still paid the bills for a while!Comment

Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostOh dear. I’ve seen lots of puerile, macho madness in the IT business in my time, but this takes the biscuit. The gang of admins behind me are now calling themselves ‘The A Team’ and have just announced that they can solve any problem for anyone anytime, and they 'don't even need a black guy with a van’.
