I was thinking of management doublespeak just now, being a big George Orwell fan. Anyone got any examples?

My offerings:

Everything OK over here?

You don't have time to say good morning to each other, get on with your work.

Please manage your breaks effectively

You don't have time for a pee, get on with your work.

We'll do all we can to help you back to work

you don't have time to be sick, get back in and get on with your work.

You're hotdesking today.

We didn't have time to tell you we'd moved you, so ignore that person sitting in your desk and hurry up and find an empty one.

And get on with your work.

One thing that got me at work was how they introduced the call centre concept (within a charitable housing organisation - purportedly). They got consultants in that concluded that most customers wanted to access our wares via the phone. Woopey fucking do, well there's a surprise. What these customers weren't asked was if they wanted a shitty call centre to deal with, rather than dealing with the person involved directly, as had been the previous case. The shit they reign down on those who are in the call centre is abhorent also. I just see evil when I think of some c**t who thought shitting on other people was the way forward.

Anyway, I've had a sensible theory from a psychologist now - we wouldn't have eaten a lot of meat originally, so it would make sense to optimise the limited meat supply with iron enhancing veg.

our digestive system is still at the nuts and berries stage. Evolution is a long long way behind how we live our lives today.

dont get a VW old son there to small and shit as well .get a Bedford ...best old campers on the rd

VW's hold or increase their value. Anything else you'll lose money on.

The T25/T3's and older are no wider than the average car, meaning that you can safely park them in narrow streets where wider vans would get constantly bumped and scraped.

Unless you plan spending oodles of time in the van - which you don't at a fest - then the likes of a VW is more than ample for space.

But horses for courses, I guess.

    • Interesting to read. It's mostly why we stopped going a few years back even though it's the nearest big festival to home. The post-exams timing and location makes it a rites of passage first festival for people in a big area. Understandably that leads to a bit of giddiness. Think lineup would need to be a lot more my cup of tea to be enticed back. Friends who are there are having a good time tho and no rain is a good thing for up there.
    • I honestly didn't know it had, I still thought it was where the view overlooked the lake and view.   I think my decision not to attend this year at least was justified. Biffy was the big draw but after Finsbury I knew they wouldn't play what I want to hear again and well work also got in the way. Believed interesting to hear if Libertines were any good as they were also a pull but Sunday did nothing for me really with all my acts on Friday and Saturday.
