  1. For most of UKRM there is a choice. There aren't many people on here
    who are working because they were forced into their current job.

    sure.

    I was thinking of suggesting purple, but thought it might clash with
    your jacket.

    But I thought the whole point was to play up to stereotypes!

    I'm mildly disappointed that some other names haven't been suggested.

    easily done, in imaginary-ukrm-goes-to-the-pub style.

    Right, you turn up in your purple Stag and 70s clobber, brandishing
    curling tongs. I'll don my green suit, and obtain a pig from somewhere;
    Bear'll be at the bar. Who else?



    Ginge will appear with a Renault windscreen surround on his shoulders.

    Well, Des will turn up on a bicycle, with a blue-and-white stripey
    jumper on, a string of onions (and chicory) around his neck and a beret
    on his head.

    Sweller will demand to see everyone's tickets.

    Ace will deny knowing any of the post-1970s tunes playing on the
    jukebox.

    Nigel Eaton and ToG will turn up in full morris-dancing kit.

    Whinging Courier will turn up on a Courier Systems R850R, with a grubby
    fucking face.

    Blaney will turn up in a Hummer.

  5. Pip will be the Toby jug from which you were about to sup your Guiness.

  7. I managed landing at Bremen airport Monday morning for the week. No
    baggage. Walking to the office on the airport complex five minutes away.
    Arriving at the office door 10 minutes after the plane stopped at the
    gate.
    Phone rings (now ex) wife tells me second nipper is on it's way. Tell
    office to ring ahead to airport. Ran all the way. Escorted to plane that
    had left the gate and was waiting on the taxi way. Up mobile stairs.
    Back in aircraft 10 minutes after leaving office. Applauded all the way
    down the aeroplane to my seat as the pilot had told the plane why he was
    waiting on the taxi way.

    Well, the job looks straightforward enough... and pretty much up my
    street. Is that your new employer?

    It had been my experience, too - until recently.

    I've been trying that for three weeks now, and all I get is "of course
    you can. It'll be fine".

    It won't.

    I'm on the verge of ensuring that it won't, just to prove the point.

    I've given up on that approach, and the approach of giving a full on
    argument against what's being proposed.

    Once I get my bonus for this year I think an honest, yet unbiassed e-
    mail to my bosses bosses bosses boss, may just be the way forward.

    Then I'll find another job, probably.

    If you do decide on this, give me a call.

    By Monday lunchtime would be ideal.

    What's it pay?

    I don't posess a gun or any weapons as such, so I may have to batter the
    victim to death using little more than the furniture closest to me.

    That's worth a bonus too, I reckon.

    I'm not sure you could get them in yellow, brown would be more in keeping.

    keeping.

    of course you could.

    I've seen loads of canary yellow Stags around.
    Sure, I've seen brown ones too.

    If you really believe this, then you've been conned.

    I can only agree with that, and I have years of good reviews to prove it,
    wheras my colleague who is incapable of saying no to anything gets
    mediocre reviews and is continually stressed out due to the constant
    stream of 'phone calls from people with unreasonable expectations.

    My managers know that if I say I can do something then I almost certainly
    can.
