    A big club from just outside Manchester. Like Bolton, Blackburn and Wigan.

    What, to tip them out do you mean?

    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
    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.

    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.

    Ahem, yes.

    Do you get any extra money for being a fire and safety officer?

    I know what you mean, but you'd miss 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?

    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.

    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...
