They just switch on and the thing starts instantly, they then click around the internet ay high speed and never once get a blank screen! That's real magic, if you'll excuse the oxymoron.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481298417819219839.post-29659928769126411052012-08-01T08:33:13.754+01:002012-08-01T08:33:13.754+01:00I suspect some managers and some government types ...I suspect some managers and some government types believe film magic is for real. "Get me ten helicopters up in two minutes - Istanbul, London, Madrid etc etc" , "Put up all imaging for NYK, DC and LA - pronto". The style is gung-ho and aggressive - and totally ludicrous. But some do behave like that.<br /><br />Reality is more prosaic "well, actually Minister you laid off our agents last week, you scrapped the helicopters and JB is doing his Equality and Diversity training - for the third time!".<br /><br />What irritates me about JB is he doesn't shoot the baddies at the first opportunity - not doing so only leads to trouble.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
