Key word for this winter

November 19, 2008 | by Charlie Edwards | More on Off topic | One comment

The key word you need in your vocabulary this Winter: Reboot. As in:

‘We need to reboot the global economic system’.

‘Cameron attempts to reboot party image in the New Year’.

‘Major reboot needed in square mile’.

‘Brown’s reboot wins friends, party falls in line’.

Government Official: The ‘[insert policy area] is overly complex. The whole system needs to be rebooted’
