Heh Heh Heh. This is pretty funny:

https://www.theregister.com/2023/09/05/birmingham_city_council_oracle/

"Birmingham City Council, the largest local authority in Europe, has
declared itself in financial distress after troubled Oracle project
costs ballooned from £20 million to around £100 million ($125.5
million)."

Wonder if they'll make the smart choice next time around, and choose PG
+ a decent vendor instead? :)

+ Justin
