Is the theme just historical figures, or something more specific?

Well done - I took the word policeman from OG's Monday post - but historical figures would be cool - you're up, your call.
[edit] 'your call' includes freeing yourself from any form of onerous thematic shackles - I was just trying to do a 'word link' and see if it caught on [/edit]

So if I was going to stick with your theme, would that mean using a word from last Tuesday's post?
|

Um, no, you would use the word 'policeman' in your clue - but I don't think we need to stick to a theme this week.

urgh... sorry, I was off work yesterday and thought it was Monday today!
And now I have a clue with a famous person... I will see if I can work a new clue with Policeman, but if not then I will have to go with my existing one.

Might be, but it was canceled because no one saw it coming. It had poor ratings, even though people were dying to see it.

I presented the demo video of the project template I've been working on (at home) since February, and the team lead is highly enthusiastic about starting to use it (starting today, as a matter of fact). I was peppered with questions that I had all the answers for, and everyone appears to be on-board. We can develop the new code/database alongside the old code/database without crossing streams.
I'm pretty pleased with the results and the positive reception of the new ideas and methods.
