Conference Call Idiocies: "So they're reformers?"
I hate conference calls with morons in North America. Bloody pants wetters wanted me to give them a run down of the investment situation in Maghreb, and in particular the "Democratic Developments" in Morocco.... (as well as the situation re Algeria and Libya).
Best question of the whole bloody fucking call: "So with a democratic reformer like the new Prime Minister, do you see opportunities picking up?" [in Morocco]
Reformer? I have no idea what this politically connected bloody crack-smoking fool was on about, but he should never be let near anyone's capital, that is for sure. It was a struggle to respond politely.

Hah! I guess the part about democratic developments in Libya was pretty short.
Speaking of which, there seems to be a lot of articles in US newspapers right now about Seif al-Islam al-Qadhafi, and how he is the Great Green Hope of the People's Jamahiriya. I think someone is spending his share of the rentier state loot on a PR agency...
