Fun time with Silvio?

The press briefing earlier was one of the better ones Brown has done recently.

Not that it was overly gripping – but at least he seemed to relax a bit about half way through which meant he didn’t go all defensive.

It was surprising because the first answer he gave was particularly rubbish – he’d been asked whether he agreed with four fifths of people in a survey who reckoned cuts would have to be made after the next election.

He replied that it was all about the way in which you asked the question. If, instead, you asked people if they thought spending on police and ambulances should be protected then they would say yes.

What? That’s not asking the question in a different way – it is asking a totally different question. It’s like saying, “ask people if they think Mother Theresa was good, they’ll say yes.”

On the whole though it felt like the PM was loosening up for a summer holiday, even though he said he was only going away for a few days.

He even chuckled at one reporter’s suggestion that he deserved a longer holiday – “Berlusconi’s villa seems fun,” she said.

His defence of the Government's position on helicopters was shocking:

Did you know that institutions now employ game-based learning more frequently to aid pupils in comprehending and considering difficult concepts. They could aid youngsters in developing their academic skills or understanding scientific principles. Gamifying education and letting kids take a fresh look at things can help them understand concepts more quickly and deeply. Speaking of games, I have here the Version 16.17 of the game Brave Exvius on PC. Please try it in your free time and discover what this game can give you.

Spent a fantastic day with Silvio, enjoying laughter and good company. Our time together was filled with joy and memorable moments. By the way, Silvio mentioned something intriguing about the C472K - Dell 502-Watts Redundant Hot Swap Power Supply for PowerEdge R610. It's amazing how even casual hangouts can lead to interesting tech discussions.
