    There's no rubbish in the road when the accident is on the opposite carriageway. Smile

    There might be - you don't know till you get there. But if the people in front are all crawling along there's not much you can do but follow at the same pace.

    Some of these have been listed already but they are annoying to me

    - "I believe that I was saying is..." [you mean you don't know? You were saying it you twonk]

    - "going forward..."

    - "that behaviour is unnacceptable..." [no - it is WRONG or BAD]

    - "Nikon concentrates on image quality..."

    "nice candid"

    I hate it when people see the letter s on the end of a word and insert an apostrophe when one isn't needed, for eg banana's, apple's, cliche's Tongue

    I think we all need to think out of the box here and touch base with reality. After all, I mean, at the end of the day someone has to push the envelope and pump prime the cliché market. Let's ring fence what we've got ........ aaagghhhh! I need a lie down.

    I had a boss once who spoke like this all the time. I was over the moon when he left. Wink

    I always like to slip a load of these into to meetings at work, some people even think you are serious when you say them. I am particularly proud of:


    Quote: It's time to circle the wagons and get all our ducks in a line so we are singing off the same hymn sheet going forward

    said with a straight face too Smile

    Management favourites such as, "Thinking outside of the box" & Lets do some "Blue sky thinking" AAAAAARRRRRRGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
