    Very interesting meeting. Went through the PID document I prepared to show if I understood the clients requirements(cheers Jacks) he asked if I wanted to go and wanted to make sure I was OK with his decisions.

    I apologised for being a twat and said at the end of the day he was the client and if he wanted me to approach it differently that was fine.

    On review it transpired that I had understood the requirements it's just we are both using different terminology.

    And now I will sign off for a while. I feel like I have turned into suityou.
    I still reckon you should chin the f**ker, just to put him in his place. It's the latest consultant technique, I find they're more receptive to change if you tenderise them a little first.

      PM him then, I am sure you could arrange a suitable venue. Make sure to get it on Youtube as well so we can all enjoy it.

          Told you, grovel a bit, slime a bit, schmooze a bit, then invoice a lot.

            Wise words indeed.

            I'm not good at starting contracts anymore. Always feel I'm wasting my life.

                  LOL


                  I nearly fell off my chair when I read that MF and family and in-laws and brother's in-laws are off to Bognor for a week in a caravan.

                  MF you certainly know how to live the highlife, put the rest of us to shame.

                  Was it one of the deals from The Sun, like a week in a caravan for a fiver ?

                      MF, your rate's obviously not high enough, if it were, you wouldn't have such thoughts.
