Seems Mr Boyd (Jeff that is, not Peter) has just joined the IOS! Welcome Jeff. Your membership card, NCN, and lounge access at the ICC is in the mail
How many decades of amendments will it take to iron out all of these new rules and achieve a mature set of regulations?
Hmmm, nice choice of words, particularly 'iron'. You see the 'iron ring' has indeed spent decades (almost 25 years) and millions (around $250 million which excludes pot plant maintenance and cab fares). And at this point in time the 'iron ring' remains firmly established within the bowels of Sleepy Hollow, and it has even done what any good Sith Lord has done and has been training apprentices, ones who are ready to come to the fore if ever the 'iron ring' is broken, yes the call for a regulatory Jihad goes out in which the IOS must be silenced.
Creamy, as you are well aware, Mr Boyd, like many others, has taken to licking the toffee off the toffee coated turd. He too has tasted what lies beneath that sweet coating, and nothing tastes worse than biting into a steaming brown chunk of CAsA. Hell some of us have been picking the peanuts out of our teeth for years
Anyway, its good to have a new member within the IOS. Mr Boyds stay will be memorable, and if he is lucky he may get to chat with Deputy PM Warrens Trust, and get to express his succinct concerns in person
