what am I like as a person?

How would someone recognise me if they bumped into me in the street?

Well, I don’t do walking the street, and you really don’t want a visit from me…

I have also been asked for a picture of me “Commando” - I don’t like to disappoint…

Term rehash

Back in my day we had flipcharts to emphasise progress against a plan, now we have "information radiators", we used to have JavaScript, now we have WEB 2.0… Grr!!!! little has actaully changed but now that something has a cool name we jump on the band wagon with a resounding “Wahoooo this is the next BIG thing!!!"

When the shit starts hitting the fan as a project starts heading south I find that to relieve the stress and frustration it’s a good idea to inject some humour. The best way to solve an agument for example: racing grannys.

On to the process of time management, well you could use MS project, flipcharts, divination… but by far the funniest I have seen to date is lego timesheets.

But then, as usual, someone had to take it too far and turn it into a science with lego information radiators!!!

Give me strength!

Politically correct language?

Whatever the hell next! While I agree that a lot of so called ‘British born and bred’ types need help with their mother tongue, I cannot believe this news item made the BBC!!!

Back from holiday and I’m already becoming agitated! I want fewer of these crap damit!

The ROYAL Swazi spa hotel

A not bad for a three star… problem is it is listed as a FIVE star. Now over here to get the “Royal” attribute you have to have permission from the ruling monarch, and either he is easily pleased or hasn’t been to visit in a while. (more…)
