    The use of the word "fractional", instead of "part time". 

    @PaddyP17, from a recruitment perspective, is this now common parlance?

    It's creeping in there, yeah. I think "fractional" is meant to imply that while someone works their main job part-time, they are available (and allowed) to do other consultancy gigs on the side accordingly. So while I think it's a bit of a nonsense term, it serves a purpose.

    Jeremy Beadle was famous for having a very small penis.

    On the other hand, it was quite large.

    My wife calls them doctor flies. Because they inject you apparently. I like the Kerry (and maybe all Ireland country terms.
