Hoochie - you've been a very bad boy Wave of Mutilation - Pixies

My building is turning the trading room into a "viewing room". They weren't going to do anything but one of the senior PAs intervened and organised it off her own bat (God bless her and I'll contribute highly to her leaving collection). There's a budget of half a cider and 3.5 Doritos each. I'm extremely impressed by this activity because I work for the tightest bunch of cunts who ever drew breath.

I bet Nick Clegg does the Starbucks run at all the cabinet meetings. Bitter: moi? Just a tad.

My front garden is very tiny and paved. It just about accommodates my big green wheelie bin, big brown wheelie bin, blue recycling bag and dark blue recycling box. Very crowded and not very attractive. How do other people manage?

Just looked at my diary and I'm in Bath on 17th. Poo.

She Never Met A Man She Didn't Like - Dolly Parton (God bless her)

Basically, what Keef said. I would add that one man's "terrorist" is another man's "freedom fighter".

Hoochie you're a doll. Would that be our Keef? Px

Frighten the ducks! How on earth does one frighten the ducks? Show them pancakes and plumb sauce?

I would also like to add that it's thanks to Martin Lewis that I opened a Quidco account. Quidco is money for nothing - you get money back from sites that you were spending money on anyway. I opened my Quidco account 2 years ago and I've currently made ?826.80. That's not in vouchers or points or anything - that is actual ??????? sterling paid directly into my bank account by Quidco. I haven't spent a single penny that I wouldn't have spent anyway - Quidco just gave me ??? back for spending it. You would be mad not to. www.quidco.com

There's no doubt that Martin Lewis is a demi-God. The forums on his website are a really valuable resource and if you haven't signed up for the weekly newsletter then you should slap your wrist very hard. http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/

Yes absolutely - where would we all be without the forum? It brings daily joy and amusement. At times it seems that everyone is squabbling on-line but even so some stong friendships (and at least one wedding) owe everything to the forum.

Is this an actual event or is the forum collectively off it's face?

What's the problem MrBen? Sounds like you've met your soul mate. Mine was David Cassidy in Bell Vue Manchester. How cool am I?

Dulwichflower, Sadly I can't either (please refer to Work: Pleasure or Pain? thread for further information). Very best of luck though. Px

I'm on holiday this weekend so what am I even doing looking on the forum? I haven't got time for this but just wanted to chip in and say that for bass playing and all round GOD LIKE GENIUS, you couldn't do any better than John Paul Jones. He would be my first choice. Like Keef, I'm also a big Jeff Beck fan so I would go with him too. Or Slash. Or Jimmy Page. Dave Grohl would have to be in my band - but there again he would be way too exhausted to play drums. I'd wear the little cutie out. John Bonham was Dave Grohl's hero so I think that basically what I've just done is reform LedZep. But that's a good idea right? Plus I've already got the T shirt so that's one less thing to worry about.

You had me there Rosie - I was like a goldfish for a while. Px

For real Rosie?

My job is dull dull dull but I always wanted to be a bank robber. Not your smash and grab type robber who shoots people or hits them on the head, but someone with a really clever plan who cleans up and gets away with it. Good news that there are so many wannabe bankers in ED because I'm going to need someone on the inside. All you bankers, please PM me the plans of your vaults, I'm eager to get on with it. This evening I'm mostly drinking red wine and lusting after this: http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/95248 I would lay-low between jobs so I'd have time for some volunteering then. That's the plan.

Back in the 90s I pitched a client some tosh in some boardroom somewhere at which a tampon fell out of my bag, rolled across the table and came to rest in front of him. Of course I carried on talking, feigned indifference and stretched across for him to pass it back - but inside my head the ground needed to open up and gobble me up. It's funny now though.

I remember from the distant past a French & Saunders clip in which one of them attended a meeting and proceeded to lay out their gonks and other girly parephenallia all over their bit of the meeting table. Give that a whirl.

Poor you Rosie - you have my sympathies. This is indeed a load of b**llocks. Years ago, in the early 90's, I had a boss who was a complete prat and liked to play games at meetings. Nobody liked him. He always insisted that the bottled water was fizzy water so I used to give his bottle a little shake before meetings. Ha - a man with wet pants is not so scary.

Chich - in all honesty you are coming across as a sad person.

Regarding my earlier post re "Venison" tomorrow night. Is anyone actually interested in going to this? I ask because the Dingwalls site crashed badly under the pressure but I do have a link directly to a buying page that I can PM to anyone interested. I'm not going to post the link on a public thread because the tickets are already selling for big big money on ebay. Will happily PM to a Strokes fan / forumite. Personally I don't get them but that's beside the point.
