He has rather missed the point that the entire Libor scandal is that people were tying to buck the market, hasn\’t he?
Compass might want to look for an upgrade in the metal capacity of their Chair really. A table might do, even a stool.*
*Yes, you\’re right, there are various meanings of this word. Pick the one you feel is most appropriate.
“metal capacity”? Surely a compass wouldn’t work as well?
Upgrade in metal capacity? Are you trying to say he should get a brain or a spine?
No he doesn’t. But if he wasn’t, they wouldn’t have appointed him to Compass.
If the metal were ferrous, it would make an accurate Compass. Which would be a change for the better. Why am I not surprised that Arnald doesn’t know this?
