The new gal at work is having a rare old time overseeing the fitting out and decor of some buildings that will be used as residential homes. (If thewife knew there was such a job, she'd have applied) TNG goes into one of the buildings that they have already put up lights in and decides that they are hideous, institutional and have no place in a residential home. She tells the Clerk of Works this and says they will have to be changed. "Oh but that will cost you a packet" says Clerk of Works. "Okay" says TNG "I'll arrange for the go ahead. TNG goes back to workplace with example of hideous light fitting, unfortunately the person who can give the go ahead is off sick, so she has to go to a much higher manager. She gets a slot and goes in to manager's office and explains situation and shows manager the light fitting. Manager says she thinks that it looks okay. TNG says "You're having me on aren't you?" Manager says "No, I've got them in my house!" TNG says "Shall I collect my P45 on the way out?" Manager laughs and gives TNG the go ahead to make the changes!

Campbell, Spinmeister, Understatement Whew

In the BBC interview Mr Campbell said he still believed it was right to go to war. "I don't think the aftermath was as well planned as it should have been, I would accept that. I was alongside Tony as he made what was clearly the most difficult decision of his life, and his career...I think he was driven by the right motives."

Oh well, that she make it all right then. Particularly amazed by "aftermath was as well planned as it should have been" bit. Holy Fuck is there no end to the vanity/stupidity?
