Errrrr……… …I’ve just decided to upgrade ?? the well worn phrase -
……………..“ watching paint dry” ………………
to -
……………. “ listening to paint dry” …………………
………after discovering the horrors of our all male and over 50 - management teams attempts at trying to write blog’s on our works intranet :)
Talk about being out of touch with reality……. and these are the exciting bits ……
(comments in brackets are mine )
“ For younger members of staff I ought to point out that Showaddywaddy produced some of the most influential and progressive rock music of the 1970s”
( Showaddywaddy are a 1950’s copyist band - believe it or not , and had a fanbase that consisted solely, of screaming - 12 yr old girls !!! )
“ In today’s blog I had planned to give a lesson on the use of the apostrophe, which is horribly abused by staff. Why do so many people think that “its” and “it’s” are interchangeable?”
( I checked some of this guy’s colleagues blog’s , and guess what - inappropriate use of apostrophes are visible…..GASP……, as is bad English , split infinitives , with the odd mixed metaphor thrown in for good measure ……tsk ……tsk…… )
“I have never been on Facebook or any other social networking site. I sort of understand what Twitter is, but can not for the life of me understand its appeal.”
( Well my advice to you is to stay away from such modernistic things – mate , or alternatively you could start your own group up on myspace entitled The Luddites* )
* group of people from the 1800’s , who feared modern technology and smashed it all to pieces .
“ Finally, am I the only person left who still uses a fountain pen ? “
( I use a carefully plucked - goose feather and a pot of ink myself , or if I’m feeling really retro – a hammer , chisel and a slate - a.l.a. The Flintstones )
“Short week this week, but no reduction in the workload so squeezing five days work into four was something to look forward to!”
( WOW !!!!! ……what a hero ……. can I have your autograph ……:) )
"An enjoyable end to a long and exciting week. For the first few weeks the new members of the extended management team are doing duty at various locations to ensure that everything goes smoothly”
……sorry……….. I’ve just f**king killed myself………………..:)
