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.

    • Definitely see this as being 'weak' on paper but could see a few bumps up from previous sets at Download (Don Broco, Neck Deep etc).
    • Very different in terms of time of game,  yet remember how excited I was before the first game in Euro 2016 having grown up not sure I would ever see wales in an international tournament. That day scraped a win against Slovakia and was just happy to see wales score and win at a tournament, little did I know we would finish in the top 4. Hope Scottish fans get the same experience.

    • Jesse Malin was just fantastic at Union Chapel tonight.   now.. back to Le Mans...
    • I don't think I'm alone as a Scotland fan that there is no way that I could possibly fall asleep knowing we're about to play our first World Cup game in 28 years! Pure adrenaline is keeping me wide awake (and plenty of rum)!
