Hearing that a syndicate in a Liverpool call centre had won the mega lotto jackpot and realising that there was like, a 5% chance my sister was one of the winners and thinking "Maybe I'll get that thirty quid back she borrowed in March back now".

Towards the end a remixed version of Gary Glitters pleas of innocence were remixed and went to number one, with Gary crying and stomping on his radio, before being hung.

Sounds like something Nathan Barley would have as his ringtone.

Some irritating manager who likes to say things like, "Yep, I'm probably too choosy with women, I'm always turning them down - I've sewn my oats, alright, just want to settle down with one now - if I can find the right one"....


...when we all know he got cheated on and dumped by virtually every woman he met (which was 2) between 2006 and now, prompting him to compose a load of "I'm so lonesome I could cry" style entries on his FB account (which we have access to because somebody we know in another department befriended him, specifically so we could read them, and he's so grateful for female attention he added her without a thought), primarily because his 'interests' include being an impossibly clingy, self-righteous, unfunny monkey's cunt.

Nice tip of the hat to Speak You're Branes. :)

Your anecdote also reminds me of a classic David Brent line: "I'm attracted to women who are as intelligent, [pause] or nearly as intelligent as me".

I started a new job yesterday and have already heard "touch base" - besides getting used to hearing the word 'myself' getting misused about three times per minute. Never mind, it seems quite a good job apart from that.

One of my new colleagues is called Mark Fisher, but sadly I fear he's probably not that Mark Fisher.

MORAL: Managers - don't fuck your staff around

apparently there was a meeting about "leadership" here recently in which someone who had been a manager for about 30 years mentioned that he'd only just twigged how important it was to try and communicate with his staff as people.

"but not too much, obviously, because I might have to make them redundant"

Probably not as funny for all the people who paid to hear not even two songs.

When the guy who sits beside me at work answers the phone by saying 'Good morning!' when it's actually the afternoon or vice versa. That's how I get my jollies in the office :slanted:
