Interesting training day yesterday at the Government Offices for the West Midlands. (I was giving Manila training.)

I learned two important things:

1. Someone's daughter wanted to be a horse at the age of three. Thus, I shouldn't worry that my 3 year old Bradley wants to be a girl because he's "not brave of having his toenails cut."
2. On the topic of spending tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of pounds plus increased labour on web projects when Manila could do it out of the box.
• That money needed to be spent quickly less it disappeared, if it wasn't spent it may not come back and this was "the way Government works."
• And, people would make purchasing decisions between, very low cost and very large cost without the slightest technical knowledge nor seeking advice, because "it gets their dick hard to spend loads."
This was regarding two projects. If this is multiplied throughout the whole of Government I fear the loss would amount to the cost of several new hospitals.

"No longer married to TV, the elusive young male demographics"

I'm too old! But anyway, I do more internet than TV too.
