Trapped in a Ballardian wonderland

Quick break for a wander, a pee, a tea and a photo. The architecture here is modelled on the Airport ideal: glossy surfaces, bland artwork and a definite sense of First Class: the most stylishly bland space is For MBA Students ONLY! So much for the democratisation of ideas… wouldn't want the high-fee capitalists having their ears contaminated by destabilising notions of the kind we're dealing with. It's kind of fun subverting hegemony from within one of its bastions (a Business School in A Rival Institution - we wish).

Shocked to discover that Ireland are losing the rugby to South Africa 6-10, but it's early days. Stoke are drawing against Blackburn, but that's OK. We'll lead until the 85th minute, ship and equalizer, then the ref will find 8 minutes extra time, during which Rovers will bundle in an ugly goal.
