Suddenly G-Cloud is my worklife... the serendipity of freelance Cloud consultant still balanced with sail, ski, cycle & soccer: LUFC now you're talkin'!

And Lo #GDS said thou shalt follow twitter if thou wishst to find us, and he did, and it was good. @G_Cloud_UK rocks-OK!

@InSadly Ta L! I'm really fed up with the ones you can't hear, almost as bad as the ones who take 20 times too long 🤬

It's surely more complex than being portrayed. I can safely say that following the science and banning cigarettes 50 years ago would have saved countless lives. But you can't impose that until you believe the population will accept it. Cpt hindsight rules

Ian! Sorry W. needs emergency attention.

Spent a lot of time selling into dentists back in the day. Glorified smalltown-shop-keepers (think 'Open All Hours' with less stock). Philosophy = someone has to pay, and it's not me. @TheBDA what is policy?

[Ian Groby @iGroby]

Wife secured an emergency dental appointment with our NHS dentist (hooray!). Told she has to pay an extra £40 for PPE to be used in her treatment. As an NHS shift worker she's been putting it on the line all lockdown, while he's polished his Porsche. Is it me?

@joelbaileyuk Would you mind awfully if you excluded dentists from your homily? There is a complete withdrawal of service with almost no accessible emergency backstop.

Skepticism over digital transformation? How could it be?

This reminds me of opening a Berlin office. It took 3 yrs & 2 changes of GM to work out the market requires a quite different approach. Same with G-Cloud & p.s. we needed to learn how diff it was to selling to enterprises. Experience counts in £££s!

[Darren Foulkes @DTFok]

It's a great piece and a good idea, but while everyone is running round like the proverbial chicken-sans-tête it'll go nowhere. If I were you, I'd probably shelve it to 15-September...

is it only me? why can YouTube no longer play --- anything? it just hangs.

@LetNo1FollowYou what do I do? It's a 2-horse race here between the 2-donkeys!

this is it! @Tate eat your heart out!

@afneil You are our greatest political journalist. I admire just about everything but particularly understanding of detail (and how to weaponize it). But may I whisper that you may have played this one wrong? I know, it's just me, sorry & best wishes.

[Darren Foulkes @DTFok]

[declares interest: I got a pre-pub copy - thanks Lindsay!] This is good, the DMpl is slow for research, this speeds the process up and you can get to grips with more when you lay your products out side-by-side with others. Haven't seen the Index b4, intriguing!

[Darren Foulkes @DTFok]

Very good and worth not just a read but a response. I've made mine - a plea for better communication. Telepathy is a rotten way to steer a market. #GCloud @GOVUKdigimkt (btw: who runs that, GDS/CCS?) @gov_procurement
