        It's been a while since I decked someone in the workplace. I may be getting ready to break that lull.

            You need a shower after cycling 3 miles? Is it hilly or are you lardy?

                I'm a little lardy at the moment, plus I'm going offroad through a very hilly windy, forest and up a very very difficult hill, then over morraine, and then sand.

                Basically it's easier to bloody cycle the road it takes about 15 minutes. Took me 45 minutes off road.

                  Maybe that's why they don't trust you on their existing system?

                      It sounds like the client (or the twat you are dealing with) is worried you may pick holes in or criticise their existing system. Or perhaps they are reluctant to change it, and they have been overruled on the need to overhaul it at all - People do get defensive and go into job preservation mode about systems they have long familiarity with, and may have designed themselves.
