Re: Today I'm angry about.....
There is lots in life to be fearful of... death at the hands of British armed police when you're a totally innocent man like de Menezes is, thankfully, very low down the list!

Re: Today I'm angry about.....
The loss of a child must be the most painful thing a mother can bear and my heart goes out to any mother that treads that path.
My heart also goes out to all the silent victims, hiding behind their curtains, too fearful to voice their experiences.
I love that I live in a liberal democracy, love that the judiciary stands apart from the grubby world of politics. I wouldn't choose to live in a state where it's offices have carte blanche to terrorise its citizens. For all that, a bit of me still says good riddance to bad rubbish.
F*ck me it's complicated.

Re: Today I'm angry about.....
Anyway....
Been in a meeting, one that had the ominous agenda headline of Sustainability and Moving Into Profit in our Asian Markets and the Relevance in Relation to our Day to Day Business with Reference to the Database Group. There was a consultant present who I think usually makes his living confusing people at the LSE or somewhere similar – suffice it to say he had both a plum in his mouth and one up his arse (as my mother would say).
During the whole course of this particular meeting I didn’t make many notes. OK to be honest I made none that directly related to work, but I was quite busy writing throughout as I made a list of all the words and phrases that I needed to look up that had been uttered during the course of the meeting, mostly by said consultant.
Here for your gratification is the full list:
Grackle
Scleral ectasia
Sociolect
Noumenal
Compatibilism
Vaginated
Mercantilist
Gravid
Mustification
Prahar
Roadrailer modality
Trifecta
Pinnated
Waybeams
Panpuller
Nihilarian
Retroition
Testudinous
Semiotically
Opportunity cost
pnp junction
Fain
Alpha channel
Despalling
Stoneblowing
Axiology
Effulgent

We can make an example of you William.
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Re: Today I'm angry about.....
You could try presenting a united front against me. I get all upset and angry about a meeting which I post (^ up there) and it gets swamped by you twothebish wrote:we should present a united front against Monty the add-nothing-useful WUM!jaffka wrote:Well don't read it then and do something more productiveMontreal Wanderer wrote:I always wondered what would happen in a meeting between two people who absolutely have to have the last word.
