Constructive criticism is rarely welcomed, negativity is ignored.

One of my favourite bands!

I hope you realise you have just Pi**ed off my neighbours, just cause the time was wrong.
Brothers in Arms as full volume now!

I thought it was Making Movies??

Thinking about a takeaway

Oh, yes, that's another thing.
Working in a large TelCo (Telecommunications Operator), we have endless meetings, sometimes even with guestss from companies like Cisco or McKinsey.
These days, at the end of a meeting they all take about "the take-away from this meeting is blablabla".
WTF? I don't see anybody with doggy bags trying to scoop up the stale biscuits or dried-up sandwich left-overs???
Can't these people speak plain English.
"In the light of what we discussed, I now need to do xxx"
"We need to consider what you have told us"
"I don't quite understand what you just said, but I retreat in awe to ponder the ramifications of impact of your wisdom"
Well, I made the last one up. But it would be (as the Americans say) Auwesome if someone said that at the end of a meeting (without flinching)

Spent 22 years with BT ( a small TelCO ) and learnt a lot of " inter company rhetoric "
Most of those who agreed, didn´t understand the question, of the three that did, only two had any idea of an answer to the problem, only one was right!

I loved ( not biblical ) a guy called Les Wright who was the UK Director for CSC ( Computer Science Corporation )
Went for a meal one night after work at Farnborough, just outside the aerodrome.
Waiter to Les " How would you like your steak? "
Les to waiter " Cut off it´s horns, wipe it´s ass and put it on the plate! "
He was from Texas!

The Hamster would have cooked it first, in a very unconventional way! Probably using a Ferrari F40 or an Aston Martin DB5

I seem to remember a certain "road-kill cafe" in North Dakota or Idaho, where the motto is "from your grill to ours!".
(Or something like that.)
Whatever you hit, bring it in, and we'll cook it!

Mebbe Hamster should do a documentary on the Road-kill cafe - eating whatever crossed his way across North Dakota...?

Could be a good ploy, but I figure he would rather cook it using the burner in a hot air balloon, he is " complicated "
