Yes, take a look in the offices of any consultancy firm.

Oh dear. That explains an awful lot.

Are there still any of those hideous 80's "motivational posters" still on walls in offices up and down the land ? Anyone seen any ?

It makes me wonder though.

I suspect the last refuges of these godawful things are in the Sales Director's offices of places like double-glazing companies and other telesales offices.

Isn't that the machine that has an unfortunate tendency to descend rapidly from the heavens despite the best efforts of the pilot?

Ah... that explains the irony they were talking about.

I thought they didn't look british. Our MoD posters aren't so exciting. I wish I had an amusing link for this, but I don't.

That's how boring they are...

Like this one.

They were promotional posters by McDonnell Douglas & Bell, Americans you see.

The staggering volume of people who cannot grasp the concept of irony continues to astonish me - that includes MOD poster-designers.

I don’t think they were intended to leave the factory gates, they both got into trouble when the media found out.

We had some gems at the MoD: link

It's hard to read but it says "It descends from the heavens ironically it unleashed hell."

Another which I can't find looked like this with the tagline "We made it beautiful because it's the last thing some people will ever see"

James May had that on a t-shirt last week during that James and Oz program.

I think it is a chipie t-shirt.

Do I get a prize?
