I've unlocked this thread because it's about Dave. One of our own.
I trust you all to keep the conversation about how rigged it all was and how he should have got the guernsey because he's such a fine upstanding lad and not to devolve this into, say, actual politics.
cheers

I thought that was Aeschylus?
Valerius Maximus wrote that he was killed outside the city by a tortoise dropped by an eagle which had mistook his head for a rock suitable for shattering the shell of the reptile.
"These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined."
- Homer

Well...he was certainly slow after the tortoise dropped in to visit...

Not sure if it's official, but I think we can, for all intents and tortoises, accept it as fact.

Have a person employed to oversee all IT.
Remove that person and hire another person to evaluate the way forwards in IT.
6 months later get recommendation that need to employ a person to oversee all IT.
Hire a person to do what the original person was doing, but reporting to the second person.
It's brilliant really.
ps the second person's job title is Head of IS. I might tell the security services I know where the head of Islamic State is (or they can just read this themselves).
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.
