Why does your boss tell you how long a project should take?
He can tell you how long he'd like it to take but I see it as:
1. Customer asks Sales
2. Sales asks PM
3. PM asks senior devs/architect - initial estimates with included risk from the devs' experience.
4. PM answers Sales with %-age risk included, based on how scared the devs looked. Decision on initial team size maybe (how many available, how much can be done in parallel, available sprints).
5. Sales answers customer then bills if customer agrees.
You skip devs' estimate or skip PM adding in risk, you're screwed, been there, done that. Project was on time but 30%+ over budget. Would have been more if the devs on it would have actually told the truth about the extent of their overtime.

I've done this before, it took some time because it was originally written incredibly sh*tty.

Ireland = HIBERNIA
current = I
Ireland currently loses = HIBERNA
time = T
charged = ION
HIBERNATION - rest of the winter.

You got the solution first so well done.
It wasn't that hard, but I thought it was a beautifully rounded and framed clue.

I agree, well worded (& if I hadn't spent so long typing the solution, I would have been first with the answer  )
It's the first one I've got to before it's been answered this week - work, eh?
Regards, Stewart

Yeah, sorry about that, but also the reason I post the answer first, then type out the solution.

...and again I didn't notice until an alert came up in the wrong place: they are no longer in the screen center, but centered horizontally at the top of the page. Where I wasn't looking for it, and wondering why it hadn't done what I asked...
Try it: start to post a message, then navigate away. Did you spot the alert? It hasn't even got a splash of colour to draw the eye to it!
Why do that Google?

Yah, I noticed that one yesterday too. Not really so thrilled either, took me a few seconds to work out what the dickens was going on.
Though, I did notice that if you drag a link from a page as you would if intending to drop it on the address-bar or the bookmarks bar, that it now highlights in in a dark-grey rounded rect. Nice, but if it's one or the other, give me back an alert box that well, alerts me!

Hm... 
It's quite easy to overlook that alert window...

I just updated and I see the address bar search looks different as well. Can't say I like the new look too much.
If it ain't broken, don't fix it!
