A bit of humour

Just happening across some excerpts from one of my favorite shows as a teenager. Still ever so relevant today.

“We’re supposed to be preparing children for a working life, three quarters of the time they are bored stiff” (Hon Jim Hacker, PM)

“Well I should have thought that being bored stiff for three quarters of the time is an excellent preparation for working life” (Sir Humphrey Appleby)

I loved that TV show and went on to buy the books and re-read the excellent narrative. It clearly reminded me of some of my early days at work in the PMG's department.
