Where's the Babel Fish when you need them?

Busy day at the studio, with loads of computer geekery and a meeting with accountants.

Remember the scene in The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy when the aliens were babbling incoherent nonsense and Arthur put a Babel Fish in his ear and suddenly he could understand?

Well that's what the meeting was like for me, except there wasn't any Babel Fish to hand - lots of noise and no understanding.

Oh dear.

...but things looked up on the way home when the sky filled up with Mammatus Clouds well that's what My Blogs called them.
