Yeah, firewalls and bollockswalls were needed pretty quickly. Still need the wall though. Or not.

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

    Mine is very similar, although I probably have 30% bollocks bollocks and 10% bollocks scientists.

    I have another 50% bollocks bollocks coming in, but I ignore all of those, so don't need to spend too much time on it.Plus bollocks bollocks my assistant responds to while journalistic bollocks our comms department takes care of.Leaving only 80% of bollocks to deal with.

    Oh, I'm impressed/jealous - seems you have decent bollocks wall in place. I have to deal with all bollocks myself.

    Exactly how I read it.

    I also had a pretty heated discussion with him on one of the WH committee calls where I mentioned that the RBD would probably lead to high affinity binding and the furin site being active. He essentially said that was all bullshit and I couldn't possibly know... Well.
