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.

      Any interest in a Barter scheme?

      By bobbly · Posted

      A quick assessment on having a barter scheme amongst the community. An exchange of goods and services may be really helpful during these difficult times.    I wonder if it’s something that someone would be willing to set up separately and link to the forum? Or perhaps  an additional aspect of the forum itself if it was easy to include? I don’t have IT knowledge to set this up unfortunate, but I do have skills that I could offer. From past experience, it would probably work best as a direct exchange rather than coupon credit.    I may be flaunting the rules by posting on this twice, admin please feel free to delete one if this is the case.

      Echoed. Thank you for stepping up.   whilst I’m here, I was thinking it would be a good idea to have a barter scheme amongst the community. an exchange of goods and services may be really helpful during these difficult times.    wonder if it’s something that someone would be willing to set up separately and link to the forum? Or perhaps  an additional aspect of the forum itself if it was easy to include? I’ll put it out on the forum to evaluate interest.

      Just found these matches!

      As they have been closed, either as an antique shop or a cafe, for a number of years, the words 'go whistle' spring to mind. They are history now.
