Military Intelligence - no seriously. The db received mission data/processed it about a bit and moved it in elsewhere. I still have the image of the performance reviews - or whatever the military do - seen any data this year perkins? No. Good, ten percent bonus for you then. Good lesson for tutors not to ask students about the size of the databases they manage though.

Of course this is now sharing brain space with the corset image :(
