The Online Past

The heading up there is a typing error by the way.

It was foggy here this morning, so foggy in fact that none of the buildings nearby were visible. It was only possible to see the ground by looking directly down at it from the window so from a distance away from the window it seemed like the windows were just featureless grey. We could have been on the thirtieth floor rather than the third. I thought about this and the building seemed to sway.

Is it me but does the phrase 'Goa-based analyst' in this story from the BBC not conjure up the right image? I imagine some washed-out hippy who puts a bedraggled tie on any time some two-bit camera crew want a sound bite.
