I highly doubt the pirate costumes directly reminded him of the somali pirates, the word "piracy" would've been more of a trigger.

Who saw that coming :?: :wink:
Honestly? Not me.
A company as large as Microsoft rarely admits defeat or failure, they usually spin it into something positive:
Reduced sales of Windows 8 is because Windows 7 was so good, nobody wanted to upgrade.

I would love to know how they managed to get to the very top of The Shard (it's like £25 just to enter the view) and into Aldwych station. I'm currently living like directly beneath The Shard and my campus is on top of the station entrance on Surrey street. Walk past them both most days.

I presume it was during the construction phase (he appears to be in a crane), when it may have been easier to sneak up.

I was a bit gutted The Shard was built soon after I left London :(
