    Good advice is patronising?

    That said reading the remainder of the thread I think the others have a strong point. Trying to revolutionise a project that is that fooked will only end in one outcome.

    I cannot account for a single project that was in the tulipe that I tried to recover that ever ended well, apart from the current gig. The project was in the mire and they were perfectly happy to let me dig it out. I did, and the project is now doing great.

    Totally agree with Prawn, always know your audience, and play to them.

    All the best matey, hope it works out for you.

        PS You probably murdered him in some hideous way to take the TL position. There's a reason people study ancient literature.

          Mike is up in Lancashire (Exiled). I'm just working on my next round of proscriptions and than I'll be programme manager

          I'm also having a Neroian orgy today with the new starter and the cleaning lady.
