One wouldn't have to look far.

Another snout in the trough.
I was going to call him a daft prick but looks like he's a pocket lining, nasty, blairtite prick.
BTW, NHS IT is in the dark ages. IT purchasers should be jailed.
Can't really argue with that. Hardware-wise, we recently got nice, new, shiny HP PC's installed - running Windoze7. Go to try and access my gmail account, and it tells me I'm running an outdated browser and please update!! I wish I could, but we don't even have the option to change any settings on the screen saver!!
Yup. And woebetide anyone that tries to do some internet banking. I have to access accounts in my job and it [IT] is utterly useless.
I can get in to my RBS account (if I wanted to …. but "they" can monitor any interwebbery you do) but very seldom do so. Oddly, we can now get on to Facebook (apparently - haven't tried yet) and always could get on to ebay ….. but not Paypal!! It's all very odd.
