What's a PM do, then?
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.
Pay the Russian Mafia EU2450 per day to not be sliced into little pieces and fed to big dogs.

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!
Sometimes better than the destination!!

Or is it something based around:

Originally posted by swamp View PostHow do you get inside BA business lounge? Isn't it better to just dawdle round the duty free shops and then grab a pint in the bar to kill time? I quite like the Fosters Bar in Moscow Airport.
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
If it was some cheap DFS tulipe though it was probably Dimprawn.
