    What's a PM do, then?
    Tell people who know how to do their job, what to do and how to do it.

    Stop people who are doing their job from doing their job by asking how they are getting on and when it will be finished.

    Write lots of reports predicting the future.

    Write lots of reports explaining why the past did not match their past predictions of the future.

    Also: BA's business (aka club europe) lounge in Heathrow T5 is excellent, but Moscow's equivalent is tulip

    And I still need a bloody sofa!
    Yep - I also found the BA lounge at T5 good - very spacious, good food and no bl00dy kids running around!

    Sometimes better than the destination!!

    Lots of ways...

    Do a lot of flights with BA and get a frequent flyer pass.

    Book first class seats.

    Buy one of those lounge passes like PriorityPass.

    Or fly with someone with access to the lounge.

    We bought one for office on ebay 18 months ago - it's a perfect sofa for office: not looks ok, and not actually comfy enough to sit on it for longer than 5 mins. I suspect I actually bought it from you - at least the bloke who delivered it matches your description
    Was it 100% leather. If so and then person looked like a young Brad Pitt mixed with Arnie then it could have been me.

    If it was some cheap DFS tulipe though it was probably Dimprawn.
