Will hopefully be there in a few weeks

I thought it was done and dusted, contract signed, "Boomed" thread posted?

Will hopefully be there in a few weeks, currently asking some colleagues what the atmosphere is like.

I expect lots of bunfights, as the BarCap people put in place with Bob's help get pushback now their leader has gone.

Mods, can we get the thread title changed to "Sign on you crazy Diamond"?

That's brilliant!

It's a British thing... anything we're any good at, destroy it, legislate against it, shove hands in pockets while someone else picks it up and runs with it.

But you can be proud of another heroic failure

They picked up on this on the BBC Wimbledon commentary last night. John McEnroe was asking why Murray was not scheduled for centre court. "Because it would not be fair". John replied "stuff that!"

Is that an element of annoyance I hear. And its before you even begin the 12 month no get out, low pay (for job description) contract.

Is there something I wrote to give you that impression? Apparently it's not such a bad thing he has gone......

So why hopefully? Not colleagues yet I would venture...

The strangeness is strong in this one it is.

If......

I was working a gig,(or as a permie) and the scandal was fresh that morning with the execs leaving suddenly in just 48 hours; I'd be a bit worried about my future.

Imagine having a contractor who hasn't even started yet calling asking what our "thoughts" were....

It's hardly positive is it? I certainly wouldn't do that, even if the guys I was asking were my mates. I'd be quiet and think, damn moral might be low when I get there, but otherwise just turn up.

Sorry - when I say hopefully I am mean to say barring the possibility of some disaster (nothing is certain in life).

I have worked with them before and still in touch with a lot of them so do consider them colleagues - I have just had a 3 month break away from them that is all...
