Expensive Mistakes
coopsweb asks "What's the most expensive mistake you've ever made? Should I mention a certain employee who caused 4 hours worth of delays in Central London and got his company fined £500k?"
No points for stories about the time you had a few and thought it'd be a good idea to wrap your car around a bollard. Or replies consisting of "my wife".

OK _ I'm A Bit Pissed
.
So this story might not make much sense to you, but it does to me..
I was doing a contract for BSKYB (anyone remember them?) to deliver T'internet via SKY. A "ring-fenced" 'T'internet. Nowt mucky.
After first week ( IT'S *THE* FIRST WEEK you dialect sucking scum...) senior techies went out for a quick drink after work. So I got the first round in.
5 bottles of Bud, a pint of lager (mine) and three waters.
£45 or forty-five pounds. Or about $100 US. Or the GDP of Australia.
This was in 1997 when you could have almost bought a frigging *house* in my village for that.
So, after the first round, I sat expectantly for someone to get the next one in and....
They all fucked off - except for Slimly-Simon who stopped, on his way to the door, and asked me if he could have my reciept so he could claim it back on expenses....
I didn't hit him. But it was close.
Cheers
