Grumpy Old Man

@Victor-Meldrew the amount of fucking times this has happened! Although a new one that's started happening recently is clients telling us they want us to implement the XYZ they saw, thinking it was our product.
They saw it in an opposition demo (we know this wasn't shown to you dear client, because you can't fucking do that in our product).

You know what makes me Grumpy? Technology.
Like pushing the edit button instead of the quote button and ruining someone else's post.
(Err ... sorry)
Oh, and "client facing".
That's quite funny, you left in the only phrase I wasn't actually grumping about!

Why the fuck is this super yacht incident such big news (at least in the UK)? I don't get it.
I haven’t heard anything so it’s obviously not all that big. Stop whining
Hush, Andrew.

Mike Lynch - tech billionaire - owned it and he and his family died in it.
Became a bit of a poster-boy after being acquitted in US courts for allegedly defrauding HP when they bought his company

Thanks. I still think it's utterly bizarre how much airtime and detail and "specialists" it's getting on telly.

Wasn't that about a year ago? So yeah - odd that it's rearing its head again.
Quick google search - suggests UK investigation finally complete... "it was windy" ? That's 9 months of work.
Talking with a UK-based colleague back when it happened - I got the impression there was suspicions of a conspiracy theory - but never outright said so in media, which seems strangely refrained from UK media.
