Define irony?
by andrewC at 10:01 21/12/09 (The Clubhouse)
Does the world ever learn. Why do greedy and stupid people seem to do so well in our society.
Isn't it ironic that we have people calling for the head of Eurostar to resign because snow-shields failed on his company's trains, and an unusually cold snap which caused the failure of trains due to condensation. Yet at the same time we seem to be being asked by business and government to have sympathy for greedy bankers that don't want to be weened of their drug of choice (money)?

Is it just me or since this is the first time that this has happened the company should be given a chance to fix things? Granted if it keeps happening then sack them, but aren't there still such things in this world as unforeseen circumstances.

Am I the only person in the world that follows the arguments about climate change and rising sea levels, and then sighs as the TV reports cut to reports about the future of Dubai World, an artificial Palm Leaf like sandbar constructed almost at sea level?

On the same weekend I hear that Mark Hughes was sacked by the club's owner because he failed to win enough, even after being given huge amounts of money?

Perhaps from next season Man City and Chelsea could start to swap managers and players each time the other wins something?

It could be the perfect solution?
