Peter Bodle records his thought on the last decade
Dear Ray,
Another decade has passed and I thought it could be a good wheeze to list a few of my 'goods' and 'bads' from the last 10 years and invite others to so the same. So here goes with mine.
Government Vandalism.............The Harrier / Nimrod
Corporate Vandalism................Concord
Corporate Greed.....................Enron
Private Greed...........................Bernie Madoff
Government Stupidity...............'Dubbuya'
Corporate Stupidity..................USA Sub-Prime
Personal Stupidity..................... Max Mosley / Cole/Rooney (Tie)
Corporate brilliance...................Airbus for the A380
Bugatti for the Veyron
Private Brilliance..................... Captain Sullenberger for the Hudson River crash.
Prof Brian Cox, for explaining complex science in a simple way
Government Brilliance...............?????? for getting Jamie Oliver to explain how bad school dinners really were.
Couldn't think of a second one...sorry.
Peter Bodle
