Some Assenture booted besuited barrow boys have joined the club recently. They seem very young and their expensive suits don't quite fit them properly. I wonder what they're up to.

We have those around here too. They seem young cause they are and I am only 32!

It seems to me that, the larger and more successful an organisation is, the more of it is held together with string, spittle, post-it notes and blu-tack behind the scenes.

twonkaloons, the lot of them. Well, not the whole lot of them, there are some utter stars here, but an awful lot of people who don't seem to do any actual work. The contractors (for the most part) are fairly normal, and the minority of permies (the ones with 5 o'clock shadow, less hair and an unhappy home life) seem to be holding the majority afloat.

Ah, it is the same everywhere, then

A Web Marketing Manager that doesn't know what a URL is. Is that for real or a wind up?

No - that's absolutely true. And this is a FTSE, blue-chip jobby too. The interjection from this person, when I was speaking about a redirect they were ineffectually trying to communicate their need for (translating business-speak to normal English and then to IT jargon is becoming a key skill nowadays, but that's normal and ok, part of the job) was:
'sorry, what?'
'a URL - you know, a web address, the location of the page you see in the address bar at the top of your browser, like www.google.co.uk'
'oh I don't do the technical side of things'
'er... ok'
