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.

      Awful experience at GMs hairdressers :(

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Looking at the prices - !!!!  my cut and blow dry usually costs me less than £25  with lowlights around £60.  Adam in Forest Hill is a qualified hair dresser with many years experience.

      New Local Restaurant Reviews Website

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Like most children they go through food fads!  -the boy was into wraps and satay chicken before Christmas, but abandoned the wraps  over Christmas. Likes Chilli con carne providing there is minimal sauce.. The girl will eat a mild curry, but not cheese, milk or yoghurt. Both will eat pizza, shepherds' pie. roast dinners, sometimes burgers, rarely chips. Their mother batch cooks meals to put in freezer as the nearest supermarket (Asda) is 2- 3 miles down the road and not on a bus route - so they rarely have takeaways/ready meals or eat out.  They both eat fruit and veg daily and there is never a problem getting to eat these. Agree that The Plough can be hit and miss - a friend asked them to cater for a post funeral buffet and the food was terrible and was in short supply with some of the guests going hungry.  She made a complaint and asked for a refund - and after a wrangle got it.
