He mastered all the subjects with remarkable facility;
And Purvis, though more dubious, agreed that he was clever,
But no one else imagined he had any chance whatever.

"Giant Pink Floyd blow-up pig is lost in the Californian desert" ;-)
"Clarence House said that the trip [by Prince William to Afghanistan] was a success, but this was largely because it went without a hitch."

"Essentially all these genetic conditions are connected with flaws in the genes."

- our investment managers
- our admin company
- head office
- staff at my credit card provider.
They vie with one another for inefficiency, uselessness and incompetence.

Your Thinking is Concrete and Sequential |
 You are precise, orderly, and realistic. You tend to get to the point and get things done. Difficult, detailed work is easy for you. You take things step by step. Time limits aren't a problem for you either. You work well with deadlines. What does drive you crazy is any sort of task that isn't precisely laid out. You don't like anything to be ambiguous. You prefer to deal with the facts at hand. |
