I can't play this little game any more as I no longer work in an office, but when I did, I liked to see which song lyrics I could slip into meetings without people noticing. Does anyone else do this?


Among my favourites were: "Everything counts in large amounts". And: "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows".

"Some people are willing to wipe their feet on anything with welcome written on it" from Andy Partridge XTC. I actually got that into a conversation without the other person realising it the other day. I know, weird, huh?


But do pleeeease change your thread title to include lines from films too. One of my fave films is My Cousin Vinny and I am always getting lines in fron that. In a heavy New York Joe Pesci accent too.

"You were serious about that?"

"I guess the fu*&ing thing's broken then."

"I'm done with this guy."

"What a fu&*ing nightmare" (That's Marisa Tomei's line!)

Excellent.


In a 90 min meeting this morning I managed (shown with wrap-around context):


C'mon guys, "One Team One Dream".

Clearly we're "Fixing a Hole".

There's "Obviously 5 Believers".

You need to "Get Your Motor Runnin'".

For queries of the that nature "I'm The Man".


and (since she leaves on Friday)....

Let's all say "Gudbye T'Jane".


I strangely make a habit of this in meetings. Think up the lines then slip them, sometimes steering the chat to the appropriate point so the line seems wholly relevant.

      Fireworks

      By SophieA · Posted

      There’s a couple of Gov petitions going on in relation to fireworks at the moment but this one is for banning them entirely except organised displays if anyone wants to sign. This is the only sensible way forward in my view. No one should be able to let them off in gardens or anywhere like that, it’s crazy. I am surprised some of you have said it hasn’t been as bad this year. I live near DKH Saino and it’s been absolutely terrible my way for days. This petition gained about 20,000 just in the last day or so so clearly the appetite is there! https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/732559

      I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      By Sue · Posted

      Clicking on your name, I see you've made seven posts on here since you joined  around four years ago, and they've all been about local libraries. And none of the posts are  very pleasant. Care to share with the rest of us where  your particular interest in libraries comes from? Do you work in one of them?
