It's not rocket science, so why don't I get it?

Loving the naughty plant advice on here by the way

and captain - he must look like a giant compared with those wee ponies????


Waves from here too - glad my cooking is inspiring you - embrace the chocolate cake.

You coudl always make a batch of twinks hob nobs after using the oats in a hamster cage or in the cats litter tray first - send them to him as a special treat.

Waving back :hello:

The miniatures only come up to his knees! don't know what he was thinking of!

Idiot boss is going to make a speech and give some sort of award, think I might have to get drunk at lunchtime to get through this.....

or can't you use oats and sugar in a body scrub thing.......then reuse them as hobnobs

first mix 8oz sugar with 8oz oats

Use vigoursly as a full over body scrub

COllect oats, add usual twinks ingredients - bake and wrap with a bow for his use only.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:You could also use one of those hair removing pads first, look a bit like sandpaper, to add some more roughage....

...am seriously considering writing an anonymous blog on his sayings, projects and effectiveness

You could do a tip for the day - ala 'office style'

My supervisors classic the other day was - 'Anyway Fay has the data on the harvesting for blah blah.' in a room fulll of people...............

To which I had to fudge something about projected yeilds.................................... cos we aren't harvesting that field until 2010.

Would have been easier to say - um Idiot - its not harvested yet - but not very PC.

Ah I get that one or the equivalent " Piquant will now talk us through the Spot on branding strategy" when I was given the paper ten minutes before the meeting :mad:

...also every time there's a difficult question, guess who gets to answer it?

Ah me too - international conference in York - I answered every single one of his quesitons. In fairness at least other folk don't ahve to listen to their drivvel then.

How's cake friday going??

Piquant_2

It's the speech and award business that's worrying me, the cakes were supposed to cheer people up....Nobody said it would be a good idea if gave a motivational speech :eek: He is full of corporate gobbledegook, does all the sayings. Sometimes, we play word bingo in his meetings. I once won a fun sized mars bar for getting a full house!

Piquant_2

I should have done the cake......

I got the award, I have written down the opening part of his speech, if anyone knows what this means please let me know!

"Most forward-looking companies invest in optional logistical matrix approaches and Piquant always follows this approach..." - fairly sure I don't as I have no idea what it means!

So I am employee of the week...

Woot to you! So, anybody in English, what does the above say?

Didn't get on here at all over the weekend, the time just flew past!

Did a bit of tidying up in the garden, bit half-hearted, it's a huge task, it's so overgrown. Took the Captain out for a long hack, we met a sheep that decided to charge out at us through a hedge :eek: Luckily, it was more scared of the Captain than he was of it and it charged back again!

Went to a friends for a pot luck dinner, it was curry themed so I made a coconut dhal and bombay potatoes. Not ideal diet food, but I have lost 2lbs this week :T only another 26lbs to go.

lucielle

Well done you. Did the head patters come up trumps with the smellies you wanted?
