Test Equipment Anonymous (TEA) group therapy thread
bd139:
DOOP always makes me laugh. I actually had a colleague many years ago who was basically Zapp Brannigan. He was in charge of Six Sigma integration with our team at the time who were doing hardware SIT.
I constantly have to ask myself if it was actually him who drove me into the software industry.
Anyway, this is drifting terribly off TEA, so a little steer back again... I have found a unicorn on ebay and it's mine, or someone else richer than me in this thread :-DD

No, the French invented and perfected Bureaucracy, ask anybody who has ever run a business in France. Heck, even the word is French.
Having dealt with the insides of Anglo-American, Anglo-German, Anglo-French and Anglo-Finnish businesses I've come to the conclusion that of those countries the French are the most bureaucratic, the Americans come in a surprise second, the Germans are *fractionally* more bureaucratic than the British, and the British and Finns about tie. I keep being surprised by the number of things that require a licence or official permission to do in the US that in Britain you just go and do e.g.: buying fireworks (most US states), needing a licence to run a business and needing permits for commerical filming in public places. However, the list for France would be almost endless.

Just watched Brazil, strange film until you fall in line with the plot, a bit like big brother.

It's pretty amazing, really, that anyone can rock up at Barnet Marine, buy a 70 Knot RIB, drive it down to a slipway on the tidal Thames and blat past Parliament at full speed. Or.... maybe not Parliament, now I think about it, definitely down-river of Wandsworth Bridge, though. The only reason private skippers need a license for 25M+ barges now is because EU demanded it.

I gave it to my mother so that she could give it to my father. It is still hanging in one of the toilets.
