We haven't posted yet in 2007, which is shameful.
So I took a camera with me to Manchester yesterday on a trip with David Amers (Planning Director) and Paul Stallard (Head of Leithal Thinking). It's complete trivia but at least we're off and running for this year.
This as David and Paul cutting a dash in matching spectacles and faux-collegiate stripy scarves. Obviously the de rigeur planning look for 2007.
Here's Dave in full(ish) flow, presenting a debrief. I say "ish" because he's sitting not standing and he hasn't got his sleeves rolled up. The rolled-up sleeves are a signature piece of presentation body language for Mr Amers, as are his Blairesque, emphatic hand gestures. I tried to capture one of these for posterity but, alas, pressed the shutter a fraction of a second too late. So what you see here are the hands in repose, post-emphatic-gesture. Or pre-next-emphatic-gesture.
At the airport, Dave leaves our table at Costa Coffee to make a call that he obviously doesn't want Paul or I to overhear. It's a rubbish picture because the flash didn't reach the inordinate distance that David had put between himself and us. That's him furtively lurking in the background.
