Frobester - quite agree.
Love the mention of Rupert Bear, and the amount that those people pay to look like that ? Sheesh !

RM & Frobester - the times I've had the pleasure of watching rugby at Twickenham, those in the seats are definitely there to enjoy the rugby. Yes, some of them might nip out for a pint, but they are there to watch the game. Can't speak for all of those in the boxes, but when I've organised days in a corporate box at rugby or cricket, if people weren't fans of the sport, they tended not to want to be entertained at a game.

I did make the effort to go and look on the website to see the result of the hundreds of hours of hard work, but all I managed to find were various sub-websites for the different teams that have been engaged in whatever they have been engaged in. Some of them have managed to "wordsmith" some key goals in words that look remarkably like English but don't actually mean anything, and other teams have decided to spend three month performing a SWOT analysis .... on themselves ..... but without the W or the T. In other words they have put up on the company intranet site a list of their strengths (as a team)
It has taken three months for them to put together the content for the site, and one and a half years to do whatever they have been doing.
I have still to work out what that might be. If I find out what it is, you lot will be the first to know.

Wobbling, I don't doubt those in the seats are there for the enjoyment of what's on the pitch. But I work for a company where it doesn't appear to matter what the sport is, you're being invited to a freebie so you can at least pretend to enjoy it, whilst focusing hard on selling/buying something.
Needless to say, I've been on a few but stopped going by mutual consent when I got too interested in the actual game!

Passport application forms.
They demand absolute subjugation of the applicant to the state - I doubt if even East German officials ever came up with such a humiliating and incompetent form.

They are trying to tell you something Chris. Stay here. Germany doesn't want you.
I want to put down another gear-grinder. Perfume. Not just a faint whiff. (I like that - some more than others.) The sort where you are standing in a queue in the office coffee shop waiting to purchase a mocha latte frappacino with extra marshmallows but it is incredibly hard to breathe because the person beside you has been swimming in Chanel number 5 x 10 ^ 26 for a few hours before coming to work. Gag.

Morning dog breath on public transport. You can tell some people have not bothered to brush their minging teeth when they got up and it's just vile. Uurgh. FFS.
