    Isn't there a website where you can start a petition to stop this sort of thing happening?

    It's is not like a do not think as an idea it has some merit.

    It is just that there will only be about 2 people on the project actually interested in getting anything done -the rest will simply see it as a gravy train - maybe something to appease the soon to be unemployed euro MP's.

    Lets face it they will be as fookin useless and anyone else you pay £1000 a day to Crap Gemini for!

    Is that a stick you use to poke tulip when bored, because you forgot to take your mobile phone into the toilet and there aren't any air freshener canisters for you to read while sat on the bog ?

    I'm working in the public sector at the moment on some quite large databases. I'm not aware of the data going anywhere outside the department.

    A couple of gigs back HP were paying their India counterparts 1 euro an hour, not £10!
