A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.
Hello! :)
ReplyDeleteMy general theory of business is simple, The bigger the organisation the more inefficient they are, the problem is if this Guy was moved into executive management he would become a idiot too.(probably)

One thing Nick didn't mention in his article, or wasn't told about, was the sheer number of Freddities on the loose in Gogarburn I checked again with our mole and he assures me that altough the culture of shutyergoboryeroot was the overriding concern and dictated the approach to the daily task, the joint was riddled with Fred wannabees, now of course, especially to journalists the coro is..

ReplyDeleteAll large companies are merely on the way to becoming small companies, it's merely that, like a stopping supertanker, their sheer mass gives the impression that their is some man-made motive force behind their continuing momentum
Sorry about the appalling English - 'merely' x2, their/there - in that last post,I shall shut-up. Again.
