A great honour - good to know Cummings can be nice to somebody.
I played Demis half a dozen times, and he was always really pleasant, as well as extremely bright.

Demis is a bona fide genius.

During his 7.5 (?) hour submission he was complimentary about a fair few talented people and companies who had been brought it to assist the government and the civil service. This appears to have been selectively forgotten by most.Kevin Thurlow wrote: ↑Tue Jul 27, 2021 1:47 pmA great honour - good to know Cummings can be nice to somebody.

That could be construed as an attack on the CS of course. We had outsiders who came in and once they had been there for 5 minutes thought they knew more than the unbiased experts who had been there for 20 years.
Demis of course is very talented.
