I laughed at this original post when the poor contractor at Dullsville contract on a Dullsville project decided to snap out of it and take on the bumbling, positive persona of Boris Johnson at a boring, dull end client site I.T. project meeting.
I may try that at the next Dullsville dead eyed I.T. project meeting, it may get me somewhere.

While its fun to pop a blue mark round the date you think the poo will strike and take spread bets it's not wise or clever.
Boris is so stupid he is the mayor of London... And just think how many bright sparks there are in that place...

I really liked your idea of painting it Blue, lets build on it, we should dye it green.
I got a total kicking when the programme manager asked what it was after the fan had been decimated by tulipe and the milestone seemed to coincide (in the same week and ironically the only thing that had made its target on the whole project)
I probably should not have referred him back to the meeting where I said x would kill y and the timeslip would be z
Never mind. Was fun at the time.
