e morosus lux, or the Positive Power of Grump

[peter nicholl]

Its genesis was through one of my regular drives down the M5 from Burnham towards Taunton. I was bemoaning the new system of registration marks, as you do, and the fact that this newfangled thing would cause a diminishing supply of cars with sufficient numbers to play "Let's start at 1 and see who can get to 100/999 or whatever". It was then that I noticed it writ large on the side of the building "Inspirational Basketware"!!!! . There I was back in the Seventies with a Buzzword Generator, you know the sort of thing, three columns, each column listing a selection of "in" words and all you needed to do was pick a word from each column and Hey Presto, a new Buzzword, such as "Tertiary Laser Augmentation" .
And there it was, very 21st Century: a state of the art 3-column list of "in" words. One point for spotting a vehicle with any word in one column, 2 points for words from 2 columns, 3 points for words from 3 columns and a massive 10 points for 3 words reading in a row across all columns.
I'll start the ball rolling with one for each column as follows:-

Inspirational............ Logistic(al).................... Solutions

Hmmm
my favourite buzzwords to hate
"new and improved"

Ummm
so if its new - how can it be be improved ?
and if its improved - it's not new, is it ?
