new Lotus for launch later this year.
Discussion
I've heard a rumour on the grapevine that Lotus are shortly to release a new car exclusively for the UK market called the Lotus Pigeon. Details are quite sketchy, but my sources can say that it the highlights will be as follows:-
It will be slightly broader (ie dumpier) than previous cars to accommodate the lardy nature of the average uk buyer
It will only come in primer grey (saving cost in paint for cash-strapped lotus)
It will have low CO2 emmissions, so you can expect to see thousands of them in London
Due to further cost-cutting by Lotus, it will be equipped with lightly rebuilt salvaged VHPD engines, so it will more than likely have a propensity to dump it's innards on a regular basis.
Price is yet to be announced, but we expect it to compare well against Lamborghini and Ferrari, a market which Lotus is confident it can crack.

I've watched every eposide of the IT Crowd and I would gladly change careers so I could piss about all day... I presume the IT Crowd is an accurate representation of the industry?
Just the same but with a few changes - 1)less funny
2)you want to kill the IT experts even more. If they have mastered a programing language they become the biggest pain in the arse you could imagine, the more obscure the language the worse the programer is to deal with.
3) Clients all behave like english tourists abroad, they believe they can get anything they want by shouting louder than anyone else.
4) There are some very sexy and beautiful offices that you will never work in. Quality work spaces are for presentable vocations like Marketing of financials. (Just like the IT crown basement - only nastier.
5)There is only one thing worse than a structured and secure network - an un-structured and un secure network.
6)You will deal with some obsene amounts of money - but never see it.
