I was in a US IB in London a few weeks back and they had posters up 'congratulating' their new graduate intake on getting in (yeah, I know, very American). Under the banner headline were a list of names and each had a one-line entry under another column for 'achievements' - they were pretty bloody amazing to be honest, in fact it was almost a parody: pretty much every base was covered from competing at the Olympics to an intern as private secretary to the president of the EU, and most points in between. I didn't see any claiming to have negotiated peace in Afghanistan, or discovered a cure for cancer, but they wouldn't have stood out particularly if they had :cheesy:
And they wonder why banks keep on getting it so badly wrong
