    "Look, you might be a bit of a fat fecker, but you're not exactly bouncer material. Unless thrown off a 12th floor balcony, that is..."

    Cough, cough. I do remember a time in the Park Hotel in Teddington, that I had to hold off the Arch Bishop of Canterbury from giving you a kicking after you kicked that crippled Nun's walking stick away while you cowered behind the sofa crying it was an accident.

    So dont you talk to me about hard men right!

      the worst experience

      yep i got out of there.

      after having contracted for just round 4 years, this one was without doubt the worst and horrific IT departments i've ever worked in.

      my first week i found out that 2 IT employees had been dismissed and prosecuted for selling company equipment on ebay.

      within 2 months the technical architect had taken a physical swipe at me..

      by 3 months of intranet work, twice the system went down, twice the system had to be installed, twice all the data was lost forever.

      the technical architect, was a bully, and somehow had the ear of the manager and never once got the blame or pressure for the technical problems.

      the place turned into a blaming culture, everyone pointing the finger at everyone else, and it turned really mucky.

      in the end the content manager, of all people got the blame!!

      glad to be out of there, walked with £4k tucked in my back pocket and no more working in the public sector for me!!

          Actually, if you're getting phone abuse, then you may as well go to the police.

            You sound like a whining little tulipe. Are you related to Franko by any chance?
