Is everybody okay if I colour code my contacts and sources?

Claret to be reliable, this is happening.
Red, needs investigating further
Orange, needs at least four people to say similar but be even vaguer than normal about what might happen.
Royal blue, complete bollocks, not worth listening to.

Two clarets and a red will be announced
Four oranges and two reds investigated further before making the announcement there may well be an announcement

Everybody happy with that?

You are Angel Joseph and I claim my £5.


An angel came from outside
Had no halo had no father
With a coat of many colours
He spoke of brothers many
Wine and women song a plenty
He began to write a chapter
In history
Nice 'n' sleazy
Nice 'n' sleazy does it
Nice 'n' sleazy does it
Nice 'n' sleazy does it
Does it every time

How about changing your user name to "General Secretary"?

OK, forget the "song aplenty" but at least make good on the "wine and women".

Colour code blue balls and claret cheeks.

I'm thinking something more respectful.

Exulted Comrade, maybe?

There's a chap on TBAR, a founding father from the barabossa valley, who "goes by" the Great White Wallnut. That's exultation, shurely?

I finally broke and had a shufti at the 'other' site. They all seem very nice over there. If a bit....earnest.

In my mind's eye, this is how I imagine them:
