Back to the drawing board...

Back to the drawing board... It's OK Baggers I got where you were coming from, and it was certainly appropriate! The song wasn't in my mind when I posted though. This was a phrase in popular use at a very disaster-prone company I used to work at and came out particularly when, after a lot of hard work by employees, the management would stuff-up in a right-royal manner and negate it. Seemed to fit our plight as "old men". I was trying to communicate to you my dilemma, as an old bloke, as to whether my broken dreams ever started.

You can find the skit on their "2nd best of" DVD, or so I've read.
