      Unless of course all the issues can be attributed the clients failings. In which case the PM and his team have loads of stuff to fix = Boomed + extension.

        <off topic>19p from Sainsbury's, for a huge packet, white label, but tastes the same as the original. http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/#/grocery-categories/digestive_biscuits_in_sainsburys.html</>

          I'm skeptical.

              I worked on a project where they had a War Room, it was where the pizza/food got delivered.
              It also had a "Containment Area", sliding partition where the leftover food got dumped over the weekend. Cleaners didn't like us on Monday evening when they came, or anyone who had the room booked on Monday either.
              Fiscal nomad it's legal.

                You know the project is over budget when they stop buying proper biscuits for the war room.
                While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                  Oh the project's been in trouble since its inception, but the PM's being put under pressure by directors to show some 'dynamism'.

                  I think I can help;

                    So was I, which is why I only bought one packet. I also couldn't quite believe the calorie figures printed on the back (of a cylinder!), so much so that I've now forgotten them. The gist of it though was that one 400g 19p packet is almost a day's calories. Tasted okay to me.

                      The chocolate coated ones are the same price.
