No quarter given on half measures
Back to the Stack, our very own Backbytes pub, and the search for a landlord with the right sort of optimistic or pessimistic tendencies. Our little debate about whether a true curmudgeon thinks the glass is half empty or half full has inspired some even deeper thoughts.
‘The only thing you need to know about a glass which is half full, half empty or only half there (to be completely accurate) is that when in that state it is time to order another,’ opines Bruce Parker at Computer Software Group.
‘Chris Jeffries may claim his pint is half full, and Roger Audley may see his as half empty, but only the truly wise man realises that the beer is flat,’ adds Richard McLean, who seems to have some pretty disappointing locals close to his work at Highlands & Islands Enterprise.
The glass may be half full, half empty, or twice as big as it needs to be (for any engineers out there). But I know this: it sure as hell ain't my round!
