xtc, far from shooting you, I believe
all of the contributors here would agree with you that Flight Safety is the most important thing. So that's some common ground arrived at finally!
I also agree with you that many briefings are more boring than they need be, and I am under the impression that
most of the contributions on this thread have been with the aim of helping eachother make briefings more interesting. I've picked up some pointers which hopefully will improve my briefings.
I don't see that your posts have made any contribution to how we could improve our briefings. I also fail to see why you insisit on posting stuff that offends a bunch of colleagues who try to help eachother.

However, we all get our kicks in different ways. And that I can't understand why you write what you write, only proves the old cliché
