I'm at Radbroke - Car Parks are still full although a lot quieter than a few months ago.

Women are still being hired, after all they need to keep the bonk scandals going.

I worked on two projects there, the first one was alongside "Andersen Consulting", the second was when F.I. Group offered my Manager £1k per contractor to replace them with off-shored Bob's...

I never went to any of the talks but won a couple of the signed books.

Great days indeed.

Were any of you crusty lot at Radbroke during the "Nuclear Power Group" days?
