Bandwagon-jumping (de)motivational thought
 
Sorry to butt in Tim, but today has given me this observation:

"When the going gets tough.............senior management go sick"

Not really sure thats the case Paul, I've seen Jools and Chris post on the site today but there again I'm not really sure in which context you mean.

I did see a nice quote myself today however:
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."
Aristotle
Greek critic, philosopher, physicist, & zoologist (384 BC - 322 BC)

As that the same as saying

you'll have to agree to disagree

Something you have to bear in mind when coming on here sometimes

Did I touch a nerve? It certainly wasn't aimed at this forum, but it looks like the cold, dead hand of my wit has finished off another promising thread.

Maybe I belong on other Ducati forums.........:(

That makes it so much easier for the big cheeses to gallop triumphantly back after arising from their sickbeds to save the whole shooting match though:lol:

One of the crucial roles of senior management is to take the credit :smug: for when things go right and find someone to blame when they don't. :flame:

You should see the posts I type and then decide I shouldn't really post them after all.....

maybe I'm getting sensible enough to buy a BMW? :eek:
