    *www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qj9z. I think it was about 8.15am or so, as I was dashing about getting my daughter ready for school at the time. Might have been a bit later than that though.

    Did she shake her head forlornly at the blatant media bias surrounding this issue? Would be a useful nugget of information for our debate y'see.

    What !!, you just admitting that your nothing but a simple bullsh*tter then, you should fly through your Masters then I would imagine.

    Don't you work in IT Ad? Y'see, you need to know stuff in IT. That isn't the game for me. I simply wander in and out of meetings with a vague idea of what's going on, but somehow always manage to bulls*it effectively, so that people around the table nod and smile enthusiastically at me. Then I make sure I have people who work for me who do know what's going on. When they get stuff done, I wander in and out of more meetings, and the whole cycle starts again...

    My MBA seems, so far, to just give me more fuel for this bulls*t fire.

    Right, can we discuss the media blackout now?!

    Pure gold....... and I'm sure there is more than a hint of truth in this in all companies up and down the land.

    Your expostulation to my objection to your original hypothosis is most vexing. I therefore challenge you to a duel.

    After we've sorted out the rightmove / media issue, of course.

    Hardly the moon landing, is it?
    I was watching a programme last night about landing the first men on the moon - and even for moon landings they said after there'd been 4-5 sets of men on the moon nobody cared - and NASA had to PAY the news networks to even air the story for each new one.

    I loved that programme! Really thought provoking.

    You need to employ somebody like me ... somebody who would understand what's going on and would keep you up to date with it and make you look good.

    I can do that, gis-a-job.
