The term drop as in "our new album drops tomorrow" or "the new Adidas collection drops on Friday"
Wank terminology Buckshee. It's everywhere. At the moment I get particularly wound up by going on LinkedIn and having to see all these companies refer to their places of work as 'campuses' - honestly fuck off
It never ceases to amaze me how vomit inducing we can go with this shit. It's gradually been seeping in over a number of years, coffee shops where you can't go in and ask for a white coffee, it's a flat white, adverts for kitchens where you get your own 'project manager', and now your place of work needs to be a campus where you collaborate and foster a culture of 'intrapreneurship'
Unfortunately for me, the world seems to be going one way, and I'm very firmly going the other, in that it all just seems to wind me up, and it's everywhere. You can't hide from it or take a breather

Utter wank
I've worked in large corporations all my life so you get accustomed to "corporate wank", and some phrases become so normal that it takes your wife calling you a twat and laughing at you to realise that you have taken it home with you - however, even I draw the line somewhere. A good friend at a company that I used to work for was Global Capability Director (that, to me, is quite a normal title). The other week he sent me an email and he is now "Global Head of Faculty".
There used to be "Trucking" companies over here, now they're "Logistics" companies.
I worked in the rag trade, and for years I was known as a warehouse man, the company I worked for employed a new Financial Director who changed our job titles to fabric allocation and relocation technicians.
And there's another one that gets my goat. Job titles, Craftsmen that are not craftsman Technicians that are not technicians Engineers that are not engineers Associates that are not associates Partners that are not partners Professionals that are not professionals.
When I left school you had to work towards and get qualifications to get called any of the above.

He had a good sense of humour. Or was a bit of a snob.

How about this for a job
I watched that this morning, must be a slow news day. Emoji translator, that ain't a job. That was a person who found Egyptian a tad too difficult.
I normally take my newspaper from deep within the pile as I like it to be in pristine condition. Yesterday I took the the top copy and later realised to my horror that it had been read. Slightly crumpled, with pages that didn’t quite line up, I was relieved to find the crossword free from the vendor’s attention - hope he wasn’t taking a dump while he read it.
Sadly I couldn’t even get the butler to iron it for me as I’d given him the orf.
Darren Campbell. Apparently Mo Farah has nothing to prove about not holding WRs as he is a great of the track. Usain Bolt, however, is a legend because he wins medals and makes new World marks. Because doing both is what marks out the greats. And he knows everything about athletics because he won a gold once. Or was it twice? Such a smug prick. A prime example of a fine sportsperson floundering when they try analysis and opinion.
When there's clearly an established queue at a buffet table and someone decides to start from the other end of the table. Others then follow the impatient middle aged woman causing carnage as the two lines then pass each other with people reaching in for their quarter of scotch egg, dry chicken satay or quiche the thickness of a house brick.
And then she has the nerve to look at everyone as if they're in the wrong. Stupid cow.

Those bloody boring propaganda monologues that the BBC feel they have to squeeze into every sporting event. Tonight we had the displeasure of Michael Johnson overtalking a load of old footage, taking hundreds of words to say what could be said in a couple of sentences. Meaningless repetitive drivel. Sort it out, BBC.

The Welsh bloke that seems to be employed mainly to do Mo Farah voiceovers.
Edit: I feel like I associate him with 6 nations build up montages as well.

Said the same thing to my son following that drivel. They did the same sort of thing before the British Lions tour and the Ashes series.
I hate the tone of the fawning, grovelling, cringing, sycophantic commentary, its just so embarrassing. I'm sure the targeted sportsmen would find it so too.
The fact my car is being held hostage by a Garage down in Cornwall... Car broke down on Friday (just lost power and stopped so called the RAC with the Diagnostic saying it was an issue with the Crankshaft Sensor).
They've called a few Garages to see who can fix it, this one says that with us being tourists and only down for a few more days (head home tomorrow) they'd prioritise it the moment we got it there.
Got towed to the Garage on Friday at 1pm where I was spoken to like shit because the RAC left the car on the side of the road, on Monday morning Im still waiting for it to even be started on and when we rang for an update today we got the answer: "Well we cant promise it'll be done today".
Why the fuck did you agree to take the job in the first place then when other Garages could be contacted!!!
Does anyone know if RAC save call recordings between their Drivers and the Garages they call as will be putting in a serious complaint to the Garage (the RAC were brilliant) when I get home, doubt it'll achieve anything but will make me feel better!!!
