    And baby bp can be called anything - he is own little world. And very happy he is too. And when he does understand he will be able to look after himself - I reckon he will be the same size as Churchy.

    Right now, just got a call from the PM in the US. He has been sent home and specifically told to down tools on the project. In his case he is contracted into the PMO organization directly by this project and they have told him he cannot invoice and to wait for the go-ahead.

    I on the other hand work for a different internal organization that then invoices internally against projects at the end of each month. I have not been told to stop by my organization(and neither am I going to ask).

    Fookin stupid.

    Some of the posters here have been having a wager. Top bet is still that you have incriminating photos of admin. The poster who said it is due to your charm and wit was deffo your sockie.
