No-one knows anything. It's all about muddling through and finger-in-air solutions to complex problems.

Loud, Confident and Wrong is less a misperception of the facts and more of a breeding strategy.

Let's replace the management and consultant layers with clockwork mice and send them all back to be village idiots like their ancestors.

On the other hand, I can still see.

Go find yourself the Radio 4 "In Our Time" website and downcast today's podload. It's on Lysenkoism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysenkoism), a topic of great relevance to project managers (who are generally too thick to get the reference).

Your "Location" is excellent. :)

I was just thinking about the movie "If..." yesterday, & wondering when Kyle'll be old enough to watch it... I discovered it's a certificate 15, now, so probably not for another couple of years. Also found that there are 2 sequels -- probably with less in the way of machinegun revolution, though.

Ta.

'O lucky man' has some startling bits that scare(d) the hell out of me.
'Britannia Hospital' is Just Good Stuff.

Although it's been a while since I viewed either, so I'm only fairly sure about them.

Thanks for the recommendations -- I will definitely strive to check them out. Might see if I can find a 3-DVD-pack, so as to get my rebellion at a commercially sensitive price.

Still See ? Are you having a Geordi LaForge moment ?

Not as such. I've been peering, tortoise-like, at small things a little too often for comfort in the last few months, so I betook myself to the popticians so they could try to kickstart a migraine. Nothing's gone more horribly wrong since the last time, so, um, Pontrilas.

In that case, good.

In a similar vein, I am happy to announce that I can still eat. Also, my recyclable scrap value has been slightly increased.

Excellent. Trebles all round.
