I had this pretty early on. It had gone round Barclays and a few lawyers - a few hours later I got it back from someone abroad, so did the honourable thing and sent it back to someone at the company - just to show how far and wide it had travelled!

Once upon a time at a certain well-known motoring organisation, as the only two women in the department, a colleague and myself cooked up the idea of 'mAAle of the month'.

The lucky winner had a plaque containing a framed photograph of themselves to place on their desk for the whole month. Excitement would reach fever pitch in the run-up to the latest 'mAAle of the month' announcement - I couldn't believe how seriously some blokes wanted to win!

Just a bit of fun and banter and everyone loved it (except of course those who never won). hehe

Not young enough, in too many cases.

I particularly hate the fact that Deloitte are doing so well they're having a fking ball to celebrate!

I'm as much a capitalist pig as the next chap, but these people make me spit! (using my Mums special cuss there, so it MUST be bad!)

ranting
What's the problem with them having a Christmas party?

Deloitte is an accountancy firm, not a bank. They haven't been bailed out by the taxpayers and the ball will have been funded by money which would otherwise have been paid out to the partners as profit share. Good luck to them I say.

I know someone who cleans the windows of an RBS bank.

They are also having a Christmas party. How dare they!

Be a crap party anyway.

Some window cleaner sitting on his own down the pub, party hat and noisy, blowy thingy (WTF are they called? Those things you blow in to and they unfurl and make a horrible noise. Do they actually have a name?)

It's the sort of kids do in their Yearbooks these days in the last year of school. Don't see why it is seen as so worthy of comment.

What I was getting at was that the Accountants have about as much to do with mess RBS are in as 90% of their staff do.

That's certainly Dilbert's view (have a look at the Business Forum).

We're lovely really.

Just thought it was intersting how a very targeted email had managed to spread so far. It's not like it's one of these 'pass this on to 20 friends or your cat will get run over' emails.

Wonder if we can get an update on who won each catagory?!

Maybe by being good?

What has a bit of girly gossip got to do with their abilities to be able to do the job?
