This is not a serious site, its kind of a joint effort into pissing about with learning web technologies and running my own webserver while at the same time taking the piss out of something that I hate more than anything in the world...

CORPORATE SPEAK!!!

Any ideas welcome - if you dont think its funny or think its a bad idea then ideas are not welcome as im doing it anyway

Why don't you run it up the flagpole and see if you can get all your ducks in a row?

Someone said that to me yesterday whilst I was negotiating a deal with them for a contract. I thought "oh, no not a wankword bloke", and then he said "we don't want anything to fall between the stools". That was it. I turned the screw squeezed an extra £550 out of the deal. Served him right!

Good to see that you've taken this idea off the back burner. You and your team have clearly examined your mission statement closely and come up with a client-focused solution that concentrates on your core competencies.

However, I'd just like to share a few ideas with you if you'll let me bounce them off the wall : thinking outside the box, you need to be more proactive with your synergies, and at the end of the day when push comes to shove the bottom line is that you need to fast track your website game plan - this will give you a value-added solution and we have a win-win solution.

Touch base again on Monday?

we have a £5 fine for every sales marketing slide used by our suppliers in meetings now.

And I actually got to call 'house' during a meeting last week - IT, what an industry

Well I got a laugh out of it, just one mind so don't excited anyways how about loading up a jargon generator, there are loads on the web now but years ago I helped a mate add words to his before we gave it to the programming dude to er program.

You know the one, 3 or 4 columns verb, adjective and nouns.

So for your site my tip would be to empower cutting-edge deliverables.

loose the frames, and the content will get spidered properly by the likes of googlebot etc.

relax
But I did have to trawl a few sites to remind me of some of them, you can tell I don't work in IT! Although it seems to be pervading all aspects of life these days...

I've started to become almost immune to business waffle. What has started to really cheese me off is people discussing something they clearly do not understand and therefore discuss something they do (sort of) understand instead as a metaphor. E.g. an old boss of mine project managing the installation of a telephone exchange would keep insisting on a 'think of it as a car' analogy that was always totally irrelevant. Why can't we think of it as a telephone exchange? Everybody else in the room knows about telephone exchanges except him and a lot of them don't know much about cars? His answer was 'If you can't explain it to me in a way I understand, you probably don't understand it very well yourself'. The fact of the matter was I could explain it to the office pot plant perfectly well but it was blessed with a considerably higher intellect.

Sorry, I had forgotten how much that wound me up.

Have nice weekends.

Very good.
This man will go far in our modern bullshit fuelled world.

Best wishes all,

Know it? Made a modest bit of money off it (probably only a few hundred quid, mind) but with insults rather than w*nkwords.

See www.autoinsult.com

WARNING: Website very old, very crap, very FrontPage and very in need of a revamp.
