"There's something cloudy in the air tonight. Oh Lord"

+1 for the subtitle. Thanks!

If the cloud goes down do they turn it off then Turn it on again?

When the cloud power goes down in the Datacenter, you have to call an Abacab to drive you there!

[Aladdin Sane]

Nah, they just get Mike to call The Mechanics.

[Anonymous Coward]

There's a Time and Place for Mike and the Mechanics puns and that's all. Good one though and I hope there's no misunderstanding.

[Aladdin Sane]

No misunderstanding, and I won't be looking back, over my shoulder.

If only they could get someone who can grab headlines and likes a punt. How is Noel Edmund's £50 million money grab going?

Full marks for puns & prog lyric / track references in article & comments

[CrazyOldCatMan]

Genesis? MOR?

Prog-pop maybe (in their later incarnation).

[1] Steve Hackett mainly. Although PG could be sometimes be relied on for properly-prog-poetry..

[Stevie]

Bah!

You missed one.

Mason has done other investments invested money

A pink one, a red one, the colours you choose,

Up to the counter to see what they think

They said 'It doesn't count man, it ain't written in ink'.

Hey, you! Get offa my cloud! - said Sir Mick.

Don't just stare at it...

Whenever I see Phil Collins I always think of *that* American Psycho scene

Where Paul Allen's gone ->

[John Brown (no body)]

Pink Floyd?

And not a single mention of Money in the entire article?
