    People. Specifically some I have to work with. The ones that love to add a process to f*cking everything to slow/clog/block everything to justify their existence. 

    That’s all. 
    Just want to reach out and check... Has anyone pre-approved your comment to post that?
    probably best to circulate it around the department to check that everyones happy, perhaps you should ask for a 180 degree review to monitor the feedback.
    I like your thinking there, its good to do some networking and have some cloud thinking with department collaboration.

    Perhaps a bit of blue sky thinking beforehand and a meeting about the meeting and a debrief about the debrief?
  • Sorry guys - can't do meetings as I WFH. Can we do the 360 blue sky networking thingy on Teams between 3.30 and 4pm preferably as I walk the dog and take the kids to school the rest of the day. Kind regards........

    My lads saw these two at the Palladium recently - they've got the measure of corporate speak.

    All co-ordinated "community" singing - Forest do the same now and even Swansea had a go with an appalling dirge. Please please please Charlton can we keep it organic, even if it is the same formulaic shite 75% of the time.

    ‘A gentle reminder’ 

    I don’t need reminding it’s on my to do list. A gentle fuck off.

    The song Jolene.
    FFS show some self respect woman. If your man and Jolene want to get it together then let them. Oh and when she gets bored with him and he wants to come back tell him to feck off. You don’t want an STD.

    “This isn’t my first rodeo”.

    A twattish phrase that I hadn’t heard 6 months ago but which now seems to be a popular alternative to “I’ve done this before”. Just say that.

    Fortunately, that's not one I've heard before. Or perhaps I should say, this is my first rodeo.

    From a similar era:
    • Carly Simon's "You're So Vain":  Of course the bloody song is about 'you'. It's not about anyone or anything else, is it?
    • JJ Barrie's "No Charge": Stop being a tight arse and give your kid some well earned pocket money. 
    • Rupert Holmes' "Escape": You've both done the dirty on each other. Get out of this dead relationship before someone gets seriously hurt.

    Is it a new thing to say ‘here’ in a long drawn out way like it’s got 2 syllables? Either way it annoys me.

    The word 'like'.
    It's like people like insert in it in a like meaningless way in to every like sentence, sometimes like more than once.

    (obvs doesnt refer to your use of it above, Ms Tatters)

    The abbreviation 'obvs'

    And possibly my biggest bugbear, the phrase 'kind of like'. Mrs Idle knows it irks me in the extreme and uses it when I've annoyed her. So, quite a lot. My revenge is calling her 'mother', which she absolutely hates, so at least we're even.

    "Go ahead and..."

    Seems to be mainly an American thing but inserting those words into a sentence when, in almost every instance, the sentence means exactly the same without them, really bugs me. For example: 

    I'm going to go ahead and put the pie in the oven.

    I'd like you to go ahead and open the envelope.

    Normalcy 

    That isn't a word, normality is, normal is. Normalcy could come out of the mouth of someone doing a good job of sounding clever and I will disregard everything they have said

    The inevitable love in with the Brazil team at this year's World Cup. Cue people walking the streets wearing Brazil shirts thinking they look cool, every match they play being hyped up to the helt with clips of the 1970 and the 1982 teams scoring wonder goals and the pundits telling us that "You won't want to miss this one". Oh and we will get to see sour faced Richarlison moan his way through yet another tournament.

    Granted I remember the 1982 team with great fondness, but they were special.

    Richarlison surely one of the most dislikeable players of current times alongside the Chelsea player with the Sideshow Bob haircut.

    Sadly they do. Again, mostly an Americanism.
