Well...
New system live at the weekend, various omissions, certain groups didn't know and/or test, other projects threatening to go live, swilled down with a mixture of random support calls.

The words "Blue arsed fly" could have been coined to mark this specific day.

Though, now I think about it, what exactly *is* a blue arsed fly?

We need a Grammar Badger on the case here to break it down fo' us.

You need
The Power Of Science.
A blue-arsed fly is a blue-bottle.
It flies around from shit-to-shit, laying eggs. Busily.

It's a fly
that's been spanked by a wasp till his ass turned blue. The fly knows a serious arse raping is coming up so has to fly away as quickly as he possibly can to avoid said raping.

strangely plausable.
