Half measures

All this talk of stacks encourages us to mentally pop out for a pint to The Stack, where the Backbytes pub is still looking for a landlord.
‘Chris Jefferies clearly cannot have any claim to the rights of being the landlord of The Stack as he seems to think a glass is better half full than half empty,’ says Roger Audley at Nottinghamshire County Council, whom you might recall once removed half the shoes from the Freemans Catalogue.
‘As a landlord, it is far better to convince the punters that a glass is half empty, so forcing them to buy more of an identical product that perhaps they were not quite ready for, that they were not sure they really wanted, that they knew would ultimately be a mistake…’
You know where he is going with this, don’t you?
‘This principle has also been clearly proven by the arrival of Windows Vista.’
