  2. I reckon the fact that you know him might have swayed your opinion
    slightly in his favour, you know.

  3. Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Slower Than You
    That is, of course, possible.

    Just listened to it. Simon was as good as I expected, but I really
    don't subscribe to the ASLEF point of view. Trying to dictate what
    one is allowed to laugh at is utterly futile.

    I thought he was polite, yet forceful, and totally missing the point
    that there's absolutely nothing wrong with comedy being about things
    that people may find distasteful.

    I'll also admit to laughing when he mentioned the spaghetti.

    I was impressed with his ability to sound reasonable and lucid. I suspect
    he was trotted out to represent the views of ASLEF rather than his own.

    I'm sure that's the case, and chose my words carefully.

    I suspect he, and ASLEF, are playing a multi-layered game. Are there
    any negotiations coming up?

  11. I'd have some respect for an MD who did that.

    What's the spaghetti gag?

  14. And this morning he's been on live with Bill and Sian on Breakfast on
    the BBC. On at about 0644 - it'll probably be repeated later on.

    He did concede darsy's point that he's probably given the film some
    extra publicity!

    Damn, I knew he was going to be on that.

  16. How? - did he ring in advance to tell you?

    Guessed. I was watching Breakfast and the mentioned the story was
    coming up. Given his appearance on BBC radio yesterday I felt it was a
    fair assumption.

    Apparently somebody cops it, and the scene cuts to a mess of spaghetti
    covered with tomato sauce... except sweller describes it better.
