Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Death penalty for:-
Not getting out of my way in the supermarket when I want to push my overloaded trolley down the aisle.
Wearing a hair piece which does not match the colour of what little hair is left.
Taking the last space in a car park when I wanted it.
Is being Prime Minister being a tad unfair?

only if your pretending to be a prime minister like blair and his puppet cabinet

Marc .......what have you said? HER driving licence? The girlies are going to get you now!! Mind you, on reflection, how my wife was allowed one is beyond my comprehension!

DP for - Issuing driving licences to women. :0)

we need a new party ' The Common Sense Party'

Main Aims.

Reintroduction of the death penalty
Close the borders and control immigration properly
Bin the NHS
Make people claiming benifits work for it
Make larger, bacardi and fags free.
Make it illegal to robs me blind with interest and charges on my credit cards

If we re-introduced the death penalty for the crime of being an American, almost everything in the world would be solved overnight.
I would also re-introduce it for people who sit in the smoking area of a pub or restaraunt and then moan at me for having a quiet ciggy.
On the subject of which, notices have gone up around the world famous Jimmy's hospital saying that from 31/08/2006, smoking will be banned, even in the grounds and smoking shelters. This is to protect staff patients and visitors.
Ahem. High horse time.
The effects of passive smoking are not even vaugely proven to be harmful. In fact the effects of having a pet budgie or eating lettuce are statistically more detrimental to health. but this is in the open air for christs sake. In a smoking shelter. What is a non smoker doing there????
Whoever wrote this policy would also receive an invitation to sit down on my electric chair.

BTW. This is the same Jimmy's that has supported creating buildings where one can safely go and inject the gross national product of Columbia into your arm, without risk of the local police getting you or catching an infection.
Alice in Wonderland policies.

Look forward to other ideas, when I get back. Got a meeting to attend now, and the first person to ask me not to smoke in it, gets fired.
I'm CEO and I'll do whatever I want, so bo11ox to all of them.

Bloody CEO's most of need a good chinning to bring down a peg or 10

A few years ago I was working on a consultancy project that required a meeting with AMEX. The CEO of the company went to NY via Concord and met with senior AMEX people in NY at their skycraper building. He was in the boardroom and started to moke. The AMEX people protested loudly that smoking was not allowed and that there were no ashtrays. He replied that they had better find one as he was going to stub his cig out on the boardroom table when he had finished. An ashtray appeared in a very short time.

Sound like one of those CEO's I mentioned above.

Here is a nice item from May 1998

A chef deep-fried a customer's mobile phone after another diner complained about its ringing. Lawrence Clifford, 28, battered the 250 phone when the businessman when to the loo at The Galley in Ipswich, Suffolk.

The only CEO's who should be given a good chinning are the ones who say things like; "My doors always open" or "We are all a team, here".
Particularly if the have a book in the office entitled "The art of empowerment" or "Managing in a caring or responsible way".
You would be better off beating yourself to death with your own CV, rather than work for one of those.
BTW.
Very interesting meeting, not for what we did, but for a chat with an RBS intermediary mortgages exec. They told me that they have a servicing problem at the moment because applications have risen since the business was re-jigged from 150 a day to 500 a day!!!
Nice problem. I'm having a look at their stock.

Bosley Cloud 4.1%

Brewed at the Storm Brewing Company in Macclesfield. Ingredients: wheat, lager and pale malts combined with American Cluster and Fuggles hops. Bosley Cloud is a superb golden coloured ale with an aromatic explosion of fruity flavours.
Bosley was notable as having the distinction of being our one hundredth different real ale!

Got that right "one hundredth different"

driver, :))

there certainly was "an aromatic explosion of fruity flavours" this morning. ;)

bos on his holls
