Sorry - the clone brush is a tool in photoshop which allows you to pick up certain areas of an image and drop them with no visible seam to remove imperfections.

I must admit I feel a certain attraction for their women.... so it would only be the males up for the chop!

I am currently struggling with the offshore users...I ask a question get a response - ask them to confirm in email - email is total opposite of what was spoken about.

It's a language thing ...just wish they'd said if they didn't understand the question

No it's bollocks.

Everything built or serviced in India is brilliant.

Even the space shuttle.

Offshore projects NOT delivering the goods.

I've worked on many projects both Onshore and Offshore over my 16 years in IT.
By far the biggest failures have been the Offshore ones. Mainly due to communication issues, as to 'what the client actually wanted' against 'what the supplier actually produced'. I have noticed a far worse culture of 'buying time' and 'spin' amongst these Offshore organisations.
The pick of the bunch was a very well known Health Insurance company.
There 'New Wonder System' was so screwed up the 'Cheaper' Offshore option, that they are still having to use manual calculation methods, 9 months after the fire fighting fun began. But of course they're still singing its praises to shareholders and customers. They have now spent millions more than the original budget and have lost countless custom. And remarkably, all new projects have now come back Onshore!

In your experience is this True, or am I talking complete bollocks?
