Mafia for PH

[leftie]

I think that there are now a new set of mafias running this country: people connected through some common culture, interest, religion etc. who basically favour their own.

Dare I mention the gay mafia in TV and the media (Jack in Will and Grace was right), the legal and Scottish mafias that occupy parliament and of course the good old masons, military and school tie clubs. I once met a guy who said that he favoured rugby players in job interviews because he knew they would get on.

I was thinking we should have a PH mafia. Secret symbols, clever handshakes and trigger phrases that would allow us to get the best jobs, jump hospital and Cunard waiting lists and get tables in good restaurants. Not to mention lower car insurance, avoid speed camera fines and get tickets for the grand prix. For my part you could put your secret symbol on job applications and I would ensure you got an interview.

Suggestions as to necessary rituals appreciated.

I think that farting during an interview would be a good sign, the interviewer would soon realise that you were a PH'er and automatically reward you with the job +10% on top of maximum salary.

I suppose on a CV under hobbies and interests is too blatant for a secret club?

I was thinking that we could cough "TVR crap" a bit like Eric Morecambe did Arsenal?

Problem is leftie it starts our alright, maybe a nod and a wink, or a funny handshake...

...but then over time it ends up with more and more bizzare ritauls.... so next thing it'll be roll up one trouser leg and bend over to recieve 'the rod of piston-dom'.

Would that suffice? I don't think I'd want to be associated with someone with a funny handshake....

There's one of those in the back of my car. Only another PH'er will know the significance.

Tricky to attach your car to a C.V. though, and driving it into an interview room might be viewed as a trifle eccentric even by a fellow PHer.

Then your entry into the car park must be completely unmissable. An exuberent gunning and a lurid slide into a tight parking spot followed by an athletic leap into open space shouting 'TA-DA!'

Easy. If going to a job interview just do some donuts in the carpark out the front so they see your car and the sticker. I fail to see what the problem is.

Warnings could be delivered to individuals by placing an oily piston head in their beds while they sleep...

Actually I would love a PH tie. I still need to get the cufflinks as well.

Any particular posts?
