Evangelism

Big Billy Bullshit corporations are very big on having somebody high profile employed to do their blue skies thinking, to hide the fact that the company's selling the same old blarney but wants to look like it's cutting-edge and can think outside the box. Grey-haired men in suits are paraded as "technology evangelists" or "social media evangelists" or the like.

I am very taken with this. I'd like to become a Have A Cup Of Tea And Stop Talking Bollocks Evangelist.

When you become one and set up a consultancy will you send an army of disciples out to spread the word....I could do that y'know....at least once a day I have to remind myself that the latest bollocks we have to deal with at work is just a knee jerk reaction to something and if I keep quiet it will all go away.....is there cake with the tea?

I could be your personal advisor. You know, manage the small things, like weaning you off the Grecian 2000, making sure your trouser flares are not too wide...while you get on with stopping the bollocks.
I'll be "over there" in a few weeks.Let me know if we can get this airborne.

This is an odd turn of events, as I thought evangelists were considered pretty much on a par with lepers in these Dawkins-worshipping days. But then I suppose czars were already out of fashion when we got our 'drugs czars'....

I suspect this is a much-needed want

The penny-round collars and crocodile skin loafers will be compulsory

This is very true, though Dawko's described as an "evangelical atheist" these days so who knows what we're calling anything.
