A big club from just outside Manchester. Like Bolton, Blackburn and Wigan."Too right, Then Man U would be 3rd in the league instead of 4th"
But we'd still be a big club!

Back on topic - well someone has to do it - one of my last contracts in the UK they actually brought back tea-ladies because of their concerns about this. No more rushing up and down to a coffee machine, instead people rushed up and down to the tea-lady who only stopped in one or two places on each floor.Originally posted by TonyEnglish View PostIn my last week at BP I was told off by some short @rsed git becuase I failed to comply with their stairs policy. I was not holding the hand rail and I was on my phone. But at least I'm still here to talk about it and warn others about such dangerous tactics.
I could see his point if I'd been trying to get down the stairs juggling hot cups of coffee while stabbing a hungry lion up the @rse with a sharp pencil
Was nice though, bit like you were off on holiday with a stewardess going down the aisles...specially when the nicer ones had to reach down to get the buns.

I know what you mean, but you'd miss them.Originally posted by TonyEnglish View PostI spotted that. Very sad how such a big club has fallen on hard times - if only they could have taken Man City with them
Look at it like this. If they kept yo-yoing between the Premiership and the Championship, think how many more relegations you could celebrate!

Whereabouts are you?Originally posted by DaveB View PostAbout to jump ship from that particular train. The gravy seems to be drying up and it's all getting a bit iffy, at at least with the client I am with.
My old client wasn't doing the common patient record thingy (SPINE?), and things were going quite well when I left. However, the NHS seem to be delaying agreement of specs for the next phase...

Excellent. I took the same gravy train up to those offices a few times earlier this year.Originally posted by TonyEnglish View Postlol - in Leeds on that big public sector gravy train toot toot

They closed the Leeds United shop in the town centre during my time. Perhaps if I'd popped in and bought a scarf they'd still be open today...
