Morning Session: Management Information Requirements Gathering.
"What do you want?"
"Information."
"What sort?"
"Well, Management Information, are you stupid?"
Repeat until the afternoon, IT Solution Design.
"What's the IT solution?"
"For what?
"The Management Information."
"But you haven't decided what you want!"
"Don't bother us with trivialities, just tell us how much it will cost and what it will look like. We'll work out what we need later."
5:25pm - The Centurion Bar beside Queen Street Station (Open at 8am for breakfast, a full-up fried breakfast and a pint of Best. Weird city.)
"Pint of lager and a brick wall, head for the banging against please."
