Patience
is something which PM blog regulars have in abundance. For many months, the technical screw-ups have been met with good humour and wit. WE have been cheered by some of the stuff people have come up with.
What's been happening, gradually, in recent months, is that a system that broke occasionally has become a system that barely works at all. Something that BROKE about 5-10 per cent of the time now WORKS about 5-10 per cent of the time.
I will not use this space to rehearse again how infuriating it is for us to be unable to function properly. That it has been allowed to happen is, I can assure you, not because the PM programme team, and a number of people not on the team haven't tried. Goodness knows we have. But we were also getting bloody fists from banging them on the table in frustration and we decided to stop for a while.
In truth, the technology remains as bloggered as it was. But we have been assured that clever people are working very hard to fix it.
We know this will not happen soon. But here's my suggestion.
I think this Blog is fantastic. I'm going to carry on posting like the bloody thing works. If you can put up with the almost constant trouble, I hope we can still do something with it. Starting in a moment when I post the first Advent photo.
In the meantime - and is this an omen?....they are working right now on refurbishing the REAL glass box. The chairs have been removed and there is a man in there drilling. Here is a photo which may or may not show that...
Thank you for being so patient.

Eddie, for what it's worth, I've found little is accomplished by berating "management"
Nature has a way of choosing people and little changes. All manner of things, good and bad just have to, well I guess, just have to work their way through the system...
Consider this week just passed for example:
All the organs of a corporate body were having a meeting
Trying to decide who was to be the one in charge
