Mysteries of our Time
Why, on a computer that can do over a billion calculations a second, which is about the speed they used to do nuclear-test simulations in the early 1980s, does it take at least 20 seconds for the 'Circular Reference' dialogue box to appear in Microsoft Excel when you accidentally try to sum a range of cells including the cell with the fomula? And why can the computer not do anything else during this time?While I'm at it why do some, mainly older, London taxis look as if they have driven into a piece of white plastic, which has thus affixed itself to their radiator in a diamond shape?
And finally, why hasn't the BBC and the Daily Telegraph jointly sacked Andrew Marr for this embarassing piece of drivel? The Telegraph should sack him for the pointlessness of it all, the BBC should sack him because if you have rules preventing your presenters doing political columns outside of the BBC you shouldn't allow them to pretend to be a guinea-pig (I can hardly believe I'm writing it) to let them.
