How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't thinkComment

Clive Sinclair was delusional in the mid 80's with that ridiculous C5, and fifteen years on he hasn't got any better.
What a total plonker.Comment

Bloody hell, you aren't joking either:
The many women in his life have included Ruth Kensit, a cousin of Patsy Kensit, and actress Sally Farmiloe, from 1980s TV drama Howards Way, who was also linked to Jeffrey Archer.
But this year balding Sir Clive, a former Mensa chair with an IQ of 159, married a lap dancer and former Miss England 36 years his junior.
Angie Bowness, whom he met in Stringfellows, has now become Lady Sinclair thanks to Sir Clive's life peerage.

Just a moment; the UK economy is crying out for innovative people who can do useful stuff with technology. Sir Clive Sinclair might have had a couple of silly ideas, but he's done some good stuff too, and I don't think IT people should be mocking too much when a British technologist is trying to make a success of things. I'm not sure this idea will really make a lot of money, but I think Sir Clive could be very helpful if he was contracted by HM Government instead of some of the consultancy knobheads that currently 'advise' on technology. A giggle, sure, but a generally approving giggle and a round of for an eccentric who probably got a lot of us started in computing.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?
