Back to the days of flares, Party 7s, Cortinas - not that I am old enough to remember such things first hand of course.<br /><br />Yes, Ron and Russell Mael were and still are (ahem) cool.

At the end of one financial year the nurses asked for some of what was left in the budget to be used to get some new incubators for the maternity wards in her hospital, knowing the managers would want to spend the budget so that it wasn't cut the following year. <br /><br />Result? No incubators, but nice new carpets and desks etc in the admin block.<br /><br />I too hope the new government can finally get to grips with how NHS money should really be spent - on health care, not pen-pushers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-68127877448146195262010-05-13T15:23:41.181+01:002010-05-13T15:23:41.181+01:00Well, it looks as though the seat-polishers' d...Well, it looks as though the seat-polishers' days may be numbered under our new coalition Government.

This survey is probably an attempt by one such to justify their exisyence, along with theirinflated salary and pension, and may well be an accurate reflection of the calibre of their leadership 'skills'.Lord of Atlantisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-34355459513309810572010-05-13T12:39:59.353+01:002010-05-13T12:39:59.353+01:00I would have thought that even in today’s unenligh...I would have thought that even in today’s unenlightened society a dodgy looking Austrian/German with a side parting, greasy hair, Groucho Marx moustache who was also a fanatical vegetarian and non-smoker could not, by any stretch of the imagination, be considered ‘cool’.<br /><br />Oh!......And he only had one bollock.Garyhttp://www.campoamorgolf.infonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-79276042249261184342010-05-13T12:23:34.228+01:002010-05-13T12:23:34.228+01:00I rather suspect that most 'responses' wil...I rather suspect that most 'responses' will contian a high proportion of misleading information, and the proponents will be faced with a dilemma - either to scrap the whole thing, or 'cherry-pick' the answers to get the result they wanted.(= those that said their own CEO is uber-cool)Uncle Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11556766336669515445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-70191010684748890922010-05-13T11:43:12.585+01:002010-05-13T11:43:12.585+01:00This type of survey is exactly what you get if you...This type of survey is exactly what you get if you dumb down your education system....We have seen another example recently....The whole of the "X Factor" political debates/election process.Tonk.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8377446.post-2642889129173200152010-05-13T11:39:46.950+01:002010-05-13T11:39:46.950+01:00Sounds like a series of questions appropriate to a...Sounds like a series of questions appropriate to a popularity contest among middle school students.<br /><br />BTW Ken, welocme back to the blogosphere.
