CHANNEL TALK - Assault and flattery

Wayne be nimble, Wayne be quick, Wayne jump over a 19 foot vertical drop.

Bless the Peter Pan of distribution Wayne Channon, chairman of Ilion, who told PC Squealer he spent a bonding assault course weekend somewhere in the Netherlands with his recently acquired company Foundation Software.

Now you may scoff at the idea of touching base while rolling about on a load of stinky old logs or trying to find some common ground while shimmying down a deathslide, but PC Squealer is sure it worked a treat. It almost conjures up images of It's A Knockout with Wayne dressed up as a buxom young maid in a long pointy hat with his skirt hitched up, cantering over a bouncy castle. Imagination really is a wonderful thing.
