And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

What bothers me most with this is the fact the client told the agent to stop paying them, thats bad to think they would do that!Comment

I'd be more frightened of him sitting on me. He's a fatty fat fat fat little man. I think he and Threaded must be twins. Threaded got the brains of course.Originally posted by AtW View PostWould not work on MF - he's got skin thicker than a pig, and he punches like a boxer.Comment

No update on this, but one of the toilets near reception has been permanently out of order for weeks."A life, Jimmy, you know what that is? It’s the s*** that happens while you’re waiting for moments that never come." -- Lester FreamonComment

Update 2.
The guy in question has been looking increasingly agitated over the last week or two.
He had a couple of guys working with him, but apparently they couldn't take it much longer, so they've gone back to offshore for now. Not perturbed, he confidently declared he could do it all himself anyway, so has changed his email signature to read "Lead Requirements Consultant, BA, Developer, Tester, Assurance".
Client still hasn't paid his agency, but he's putting a brave face on it, acting like the agency have paid his invoices (not sure how true this is).
Yesterday the PM gave him a bit of a talking to, it looked like he was out the door at 9:00am this morning, but he's been in with the PM most of the day begging to stay."A life, Jimmy, you know what that is? It’s the s*** that happens while you’re waiting for moments that never come." -- Lester FreamonComment
