    This was like 2 month acclimatisation period.

    Why filter out all of the good private sector and avoid some actual quality in the public sector for a change?
    I know of two deaths caused by a NHS database being out of action for 24 hours. It's not the same as having a few ATMs fail.

    Because anyone good and competent won't cope with the madness and crappiness that is an NHS project for longer than a couple of weeks...

    I went out with a nurse for a while, the sex was decent but the thing I most remember was her telling me that a dick fart can happen! I'd always just thought it was a nonsensical insult.

    I am working with some bloke who used to work for the NHS and he says it is so easy to be promoted because everyone else is so fecking lazy.

    So the reason they want people with experience is because they know they will get some lazy no mark who will not rock the boat and actually achieve anything thus letting the senior managers and trust managers waltz of with 000's in bonus etc.

    One of the main reason the NHS costs so much is the feckin immoral robbing tw@s who run it.

    So that scar on your forehead was not a lobotomy?
