Life as a Consultant .. used to be "Is the D4 Grill odd
Sorry, but I just don't get it.
The top spar is up neat with the bonnet leading edge.
There's a small gap between the top and bottom spar.
And then there's a huge gap between the bottom spar and lower grill surround ?
Sorry but I just don't get the aysemetrics of the design.
A more even space between top & bottom spars/surround would look much better IMO.
Sorry D4 chaps, I'm not 'having a go', it's just the way I see it.
I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

Graduated steps to the intercooler opening, gives an impression of perspective/something sloping away from you and softens the slab-front.
Or something. I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Still use all the above skills as a consultant. I have to a) pitch my services, b) pitch my findings so that people understand and buy in and c) draw pretty graphs that allow the slower/dimmer ones to grasp just how (aggressively loved) they are.
Had a classic the other day. One of my stakeholders was looking at a set of data I had collated - it was split by client and also by policy. As a client can have multiple policies but not the other way around, the numbers on the client table were lower. I heard the words "oh, that gives a better optic" (management speak for "looks better") and had a real struggle to hit the mute button and not to let out a little bit of wee, I was laughing so hard.I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Blimey, you're slacking. We got the budget for next year signed off practically hours ago. Although the way banks are at the moment I expect it to be rescinded in short order I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

My budgets would be much easier to prepair sooner if it were not for Credit Insurance companies, or the lack of them prepaired to cover any risk over 5 pence On a mission to find the perfect Pork Pie. Just Found it (I think)..(Yes I have)

Consultant ................ someone who borrows your watch and then proceeds to tell you the time!!! 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021
The amount of times I hear "but that's just common sense!", to which I retort "so why aren't you doing it already?"
then the penny drops.
Or rather the dull thud of stacks of tenners hitting the floor. I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
