And now on BBC 1, the acclaimed gritty new crime drama, Department BllX.

It has a ludicrous plot, some sex scenes, a claim to realism that is clearly not justified and a series of bizarrely underlit work environments that makes you wonder whether the police are in fact owls.

Episode 1. Lots of gunshots, a car chase through Docklands and useless actors trying to look moody and failing.

Gotta love those crime series eh. There's always an episode where the 'Chief Super' is dressed up in his tux, off to a back-slapping function, whilst the main character has his nose to the grindstone, solving another baffling incident. Not saying the writers are lazy or anything :whistle:

A Ronald Reagan line. I disagree almost 100% with Ronald Reagan's politics, but that doesn't stop me admiring his (or his speechwriter's) skill with words.

"The ten most frightening words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help you."
 
When I worked for a big company I was in several meetings where a 'person who think he is important' gave a passionate monologue about a new project
normally with several visual aids - possibly even Powerpoint if available
and references to the VERY high up people that he had spoken to that supported this wonderful new project

and then - the statement

"the needs to be accomplished at no cost to my department in either Hardware or Software or time" follwed by a very short justification in terms of blah blah blah blah

Oh great - so it's my job to perform a miracle then

again
