POWER: At half past nine this morning we were actually running an exercise for a company of over a thousand people in London based on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations where it happened this morning, so I still have the hairs on the back of my neck standing up right now.
HOST: To get this quite straight, you were running an exercise to see how you would cope with this and it happened while you were running the exercise?
POWER: Precisely, and it was about half past nine this morning, we planned this for a company and for obvious reasons I don’t want to reveal their name but they’re listening and they’ll know it. And we had a room full of crisis managers for the first time they’d met and so within five minutes we made a pretty rapid decision that this is the real one and so we went through the correct drills of activating crisis management procedures to jump from slow time to quick time thinking and so on.

hmmm, is this from a book or something?

I think there must be something wrong with me: Whenever the words "for obvious reasons" are spoken, I invariably find that the reasons are not obvious to me. Although, more often than not, I do pretend that they are, not wanting to look stupid.

What sort of something do you think it might be from, in the event that it isn't from a book?

...that's the reason I often won't allow myself to comment on other people's obvious reasons fearing the reason may have escaped me and I'm forced to do this:

I'm afraid that's the price we pay for assuming people know what they're talking about.

Good start, TSBU, keep practicing and you might manage a full sentence one day.

it might be from he. Ir is it from him? it sounds better with him XD. I know I'm not very good in English, but I think I'm good enough to be understood. In my own language it would be ok to answer with "he". I don't think practice will help me a lot, not writing, but I'll keep "practicing" a bit more XD.

you walked into me
and said that things
were unjust, but that,
at the level - they - were at, was
not - because they had to deal with
- a higher level of reality or something.

Party time for the long green
She milks fear
Discovers do-over hope and hype
Collects millions in minutes
To ignore close margins
Where the loser won
