Sir-Shah. It's Irish.
I work with someone called Siobhan and it took me two years to figure out it was pronounced Sher-vaun.
Henners is about six months away from not even posting words anymore. It will all just be MS Paint memes about Iain Duncan Smith and his breakfast.
At some point people are going to overthrow management accountants from their position of utter supremacy. Unfortunately the only way of getting things done these days appears to be via a media SCANDAL bandwagon.Originally Posted by phonics
Tories need to actually sort their lives out on this or the IRA lovers will get in and you couldn't blame the public for it.
I'm starting to see why GS turned Tory. Only way to escape the Gulag.
It's class warfare, and they're winning.
There are certain circumstances in which I'd vote Labour against these current Tories, although anything involving reds or Blairites in the leadership rules that out.
I like Angela Rayner.
You just like her rack Jimmy '@floydmeister' Floyd.
She looks too much like the thick one off Charlie Brookers screenwipe for me to take her seriously.
Yvette Cooper was the closest thing the Labour Party had to a competent woman, and she might as well be dead. The ones Jezza has surrounded himself with are uniformly awful.
Racks aren't really my thing when it comes to politicians, but I think she's positioned herself well in the party (ooooh matron).
Yvette Cooper is Ed Miliband in a blouse.
You can't chuck yourself off a tunnel.
It's going well for the guy May put in charge of growing the youth vote.
Problem being it sounds like he's mainly just growing the Labour one.
Management Accountants? I can assure you they're not the ones making those sort of scandalous (and surely wholly unenforceable) decisions.
That vasectomies bloke sounds like a pleb, but I bet a large majority of people would agree with the general point about not having kids you can't afford.
Call them what you want. Bean counters. CEOs. Price of everything, value of nothing. The Illuminati. Harvey Yevrah.
Yes but I'm not sure forcibly sterilising them would be a large majority of people solution.
The large majority of people agree on Climate Change existing but they have wildly different ways of dealing with it.
A technical and boring point if you will, but Management Accountants are so far down that chain of arseholery decision making as to not even be able to influence it.
Sure they might model the cost of the job, but someone paid far more than them will have posed the question "do we really need to pay for this?" presumably surrounded by other yes men wankers on the board, none of which had the moral fibre to say "well, no (if that indeed is the case), but we'll all rot in hell if we get the residents to".
lollllllll
Did I mean management consultants? I might have done. People who earn 40k+ are all the same to me.
Lawyers! That's the one.
Hey now, don't put me in with that lot. #humblebrag
Well yeah, but my point is that most people won't be as APPALLED by it as the Twitter idiots, so it seems like a waste of time going for him.
I was at Uni with someone called Aoibhinn, which is pronounced "Ay-veen".
Niamh being pronounce Neev fucks me up on an annual basis.
Aye we had a Niamh as well. All Irish. UEA med seems to get loads of Irish for some reason.
From what I remember you pronounce 'Andrew' like a pained, deflating noise.
31k per owner.
And how fucking hard is it to pronounce Nye?
It should be pronounced like a Formula One car going past, so the actual pronunciation is annoying and boring.
Normally aspirated or turbo hybrid?
I wasn't sure which thread this should go on. But last night, I saw a tweet of people making fun of the kind of people that go to Mar-a-Lago and that all the women look the same total weirdo and then I noticed I recognised someone in the photo.
Is that... Ed Balls?
What have they done with the rest of him?
#EdBalls
Some Uni friends met Ed Balls when he was out for lunch the other day (there's a bit more to what he was doing than that but I think it'd be a bit mean to post it) and apparently he was really nice.

He is a lot more likeable now he isn't threatening to ruin the country, and seemingly everybody who has ever worked with him says he is a legend, so you have to wonder why he went to such lengths to portray himself as a Gordon Brown regen (particularly when he was always too mouthy to really pull it off) instead of going down the chilled out entertainer road.
He probably recognised the Blairites had had their day and was trying to position himself. Poor Ed(s).
I must say, the reaction to this charity gala is weird. This is literally every weekend down Canary Wharf so I'm not sure why the FT went big on this one.
Lots of calls for people to resign but I'm not sure why, of course everyone involved is a mahoosive twat but if we're making people resign for that then I don't think there'll be enough people left to run the government.
I only saw Nadhim Zahawi on the guest list, if we're talking politicians? He's just Alan Mak with money.
Nice to see that Philip Green is still able to enjoy himself though.
lol at the kids' hospital turning the money down. I can't even be bothered to look, but I bet they have loads of corporate partnerships with dodgy banks and London-based Russian criminals.
They're trying to hound out advertising agency execs like that event is even close to 1/50th of the worst thing they've done in a public setting.
Not sure I see a downside to this?
The President's Club scandal is very much a scandal of our times.
Bunch of drunken wankers with too much money get herded into a room and 'served' by attractive young 'hostesses' who are being paid £200-odd for a night's work. Loads of charities get money. Loads of young women earn more in a few hours than a standard waitress probably would in days. Outrage ensues and neither the charities nor the (young) women are permitted to benefit in such a way again. Take that bum-pinchers! Now, I don't doubt that room was packed full of absolutely first rate arseholes, and no sane individual would condone (or, at the same time, be overly surprised) by such behaviour, and maybe not being able to take a job where you are at risk of being harrassed is good, but isn't there a very large part of this that is about going into it with your eyes open? The real scandal is probably that the agency providing the victims got paid £1000 a head and only passed on 20% (I made this up).
There's also the fact that you put 1000 twats in a room and are then surprised they behave like twats?
The charity giving back the money aspect is the oddest part. Will a child now die because the hospital PR doesn't like the idea of old men leering at young women?
I think it's the presumption that the waitresses were part of the menu that I find a little disgusting.
It's a bit of a cultural crisis for men (not one I personally mind as I'm not a pervert), from now on they simply aren't going to be able to talk about women in the way they always have done.
I like the idea David Walliams protected any potential future gigs with these people by saying he didn't see any groping.
Is it a generational thing? The idea that you see a woman in any context and think 'hey ho, she's clearly here for my personal gratification' and bung a hand up her skirt is completely alien to me.
I think it is a generational shift, 40 years ago men still had almost all the power in society. Now they have a lot less (but still more than women).
I still know people who are completely unable to control themselves or act normally when they see a woman, in fact I'm sure there are a couple on this board.
I think it's part generational, but also partly a product of being in a mono-sex environment (for want of a better term). When you put groups of people into single sex groups their behaviour always seems to tend towards extremes (particularly when booze is thrown into the mix), be that at the men only presidents club dinner, or many of the largely (or at least historically) men only workplaces (save for the secretarial 'totty') these chumps come from.
My Navy friend was telling me about the Saudi Arabian cadets they have had over who, as well as having to be repeatedly told how to use the toilets, keep getting into trouble for following women around off the base and taking pictures of them in shops.
