On a song tip, I was in a hotel room with some lovely gal once and she said to me, "Where do we go from here"? There was a split second when all I was trying to do was not say, "Is it down to the lake, I fear".

Where do I stand on asking a colleague if they'd "like to get on my groovy train"?

Depends on whether they're likely to want bet the farm on someone with a taste for shit early 90s music. :)

I generally ask if I can 'just squeeze past....thanks'

We have an open-plan office, there are no corridors. Am amazed I haven't spent more time in HR

Well my mother-in-law calls me hijo de la gran puta regularly, perhaps I should sue.

Does no one find it strange that there hasn't been an interview with the new manager yet?

Excellent attempt at getting back on message.
No contest with the Sisters of Mercy, though.

As you were.

They are using Hormone Replacement now to combat sexist practices in the workplace?  It's PC gone mad.

It'd be worth saying just to follow it up with "ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay .... ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay"

They're not departed or gone, I can confirm that much.

Not really, it'll probably be a joint press conference with the new owner once takeover is clarified.

That has been my presumption too. But I'm getting a trifle impatient.

There's a good article about our new goalkeeping coach from a few years back in the Guardian. Gives an idea on how he likes his keepers to be aggressive in dominating the box


I think that's been a massive weakness with us, keepers not commanding and communicating enough
