    Ah yes, the old Soviet C&C tactic of "escaping to the one place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism....spaaaaayaace!"

    NHS=Negligent Health Service

    As much as I'd like to blame the Tories for this one it's down to the individual Trusts in this case. Having said that the drive towards a large overarching FM contracts awarded to the likes of Serco is likely Government driven, though that may even have been Labour it's been so long. We're...

    NHS=Negligent Health Service

    I have a costa coffee loyalty card with 6 out of 10 stamps, in a medium sized white envelope, and access to a large, partially submerged peddle boat in the shape of a swan. What will that get me?

    Greta Thunberg

    The worst part is the blatant greenwashing from the industry, like they think the public won't notice, and to be fair maybe they won't. Shell have pledged to be net zero by 2050, awesome that sounds great, until you look into it and realise that only relates to direct emissions, which ignores...

    Greta Thunberg

    Stale? She's a climate change protester, what do you want her to do? Pivot to campaigning against corruption in world football? The problem needs to be restated continually, that's the only way to keep momentum, and it's not for protestors to solve the issue, they can't, their job is to put as...

    Anyone non-panic buying?

    I don't need supplies, if I wait long enough all the preppers will realise the main reason they enjoy their hobby is so they can waffle on about it, they'll come down from the mountainside in search of willing ears, then I can eat them and make off with their women.

    Greta Thunberg

    The challenging of supply chain partners is the key. Everyone uses the inability to sway China's actions as an excuse not to do anything at all, actually we have a vast amount of leverage over China at an individual corporation level as they make up vast swathes of the western supply chain...

    Halloween….

    I love halloween around my way, quite a young neighbourhood so swarms of kids trick or treating. A few years back we had so many knocks I had to ask the wife to make dinner and I just sat on the stairs waiting for the next one for 2 hours. Everyone seems to have fun, what's not to love? By the...

    It's funny how (fuel shortages)

    Well at least you're both keeping busy during this trying time.

    Calm down dear, it was a joke.

    Tragic death of Gabby Petito

    Let's not jump the gun, there's a process to follow, the Police handbook for managing the involvement of celebrity consultants mandates that any evidence supplied by a celebrity bounty-hunter be confirmed through the appointment of a celebrity psychic. Let them go through the motions.

    Tragic death of Gabby Petito

    Yeah.....he did do it though didn't he? Let's not kid ourselves here, balance of probability and all that.

    It's funny how (fuel shortages)

    I'm and electric car driver so no issue for me :smug: What i have noticed however is how many petrol stations back on to roundabouts, and how much of a disaster that is when the entire Country loses its mind.

    NHS wastage

    The NHS is moving back in that direction somewhat with the ICS model, the slight difference is that the ICS now has a statutory requirement to manage budgets, so whilst procurement is likely to become more centralised or at least collaborative, their is still an onus on budgetary management...

    If you work from home what do you do?

    Pretty much, a lot of the time it's not their fault, they're understaffed, they don't have the remit to specialise in the way that my team and I can, and they're generally dealing with completely uncooperative stakeholders. Having said that there's still a sense that we're coming in and taking...

    If you work from home what do you do?

    I help clueless people procure goods and services without being taken to court. Actually technically I manage other people who do that, my job is a lot of reporting on income, trying to stop my team killing the accounts guys and generally massaging the egos of clients who don't realise that if...
