Opportunities

This week finds me in London opening our UK office. It gave me the opportunity to read this priceless quote in the Financial Times from London mayoral candidate Boris Johnson:

There are no disasters, only opportunities. And, indeed, opportunities for fresh disasters.

This "Boris quote" (he has many apparently) was after being sacked from the Conservative front bench by Michael Howard in December 2004. Sounds like quite a character!

A quick scan of his home page also yielded this beauty:

Why should we cyclists be scraped to a paste by these blasted socialistic bendy-buses, so out of scale with the London streets that they block the traffic like beached whales?

Makes question time in the Australian parliament seem like a tea party!
