Menelaus up to his old tricks...
He's on Twitter as well, under multiple IDs. I noticed some conversation being RT'ed about something that looked familiar with previous stories about him on CUK. I asked that person if she knew who he was and said she'd met him for lunch - turns out he'd fed her all the same lines; Gulf War vet...- interested

Headphones for iPhone?
See my earlier post on iPhone accessories: I've tried tons of headphones: v-moda vibe duo - kept breaking, I got through 7 pairs before I gave up. Shure E3 - wouldn't stay sealed in my ear Apple's own in-ear - wouldn't stay sealed in my ear. I think the headphones that you have to seal into...- interested

iPhone accessories?
I haven't had either of the problems they describe - the rubberised coating hasn't worn off at all, and the scratches on the bezel are minor - almost invisible. I seem to have a problem with those in-ear headphones losing the seal when I cough, chew, talk etc. I also find that when you talk on...- interested

iPhone accessories?
I'd recommend the Power Support Air Jacket for a case (the black one, not the clear one). It doesn't add much bulk to the phone, and protects the back and corners from scratches etc. You can get it from the Apple store.

Darling to shelve NHS IT system
That's why you do what you do. Mr Whippy and Stek obviously know what they're talking about, why don't you just give up now? Other reasons this has failed: 1) iSoft claiming they had a working system (Lorenzo) 2) IT directors in the NHS realising the project would kill off their little...- interested

Accenture.com
Because you'd be surprised at how poorly some companies are run, hence the need to go to a consultant; or that they consider a business function non-strategic, hence the need to outsource. You don't become a $30bn company if you're no good. Yes, I have worked for them.- interested

HR Departments
Dodgy old chap, Have you not thought about trying to get on the PSL in the first place? If you are just sniping round the edges trying to get business you will just end up annoying people. Companies do not want to do business on recruitment agencies terms, because frankly, they take the piss...- interested
