Today, another report from the crazy world of newspaper sub-editing (or lack of it). The Independent reliably informs me that in the Bahrain Grand Prix, Buitton drove "a pluperfect race". I'm all for making up words, but making up words that already exist and then misusing them is so plustupid.

On the same day I found that particular gem, I happened to be looking for another job. I seriously considered applying to be a Personal Injury Team Leader (Claimant Services), whose role is "to lead a personal injury team, ensuring that people and processes are delayed so that claims are settled efficiently and effectively".

So that's how insurance companies make their money!
