The Downfall

Oct 12, 2005 23:32

The German Race have been the subject of contempt amongst the Clarke family since they, rather unsportingly, decided to bomb my great aunt Bertha whilst she was visiting friends in Bristol during the blitz. However, last night as I sat through ‘The Downfall’, a film that chronicles the last days of Hitler, I felt a strange affinity with the ill- ( Read more... )

You could get your colleagues to create an alternative to Impact! instead of playing solitaire. You could call it InFact!

I think you should anonymously submit those lookalikees to Impact. Or, if you end up for the chop anyway, in person.

Snork! The pictures are an improvement on the ones in the "soulless propaganda" produced by a council not a million miles from Rottingham which I'll call Birklees - the staff in the last one looked comatose. Though the ones above look scarily like cult members! And diversity has overtaken work/life balance as the new buzzword dontcha know?

Diversity is the most overused word in the English language right now

No. Surely the worst is 'Vibrant'? If you manage both vibrant and diverse in the same sentence then surely the aliens have eaten your brain. To add the word "Spectrum' is masterful

Actually the aliens have already attacked Nottingham. I quote..
"Nottingham’s Rocky City is a vibrant, diverse venue that caters for people of many musical and follicular persuasions, and can be damn fun too.

With a capacity of 1,900, Rock City is Nottingham’s largest non-arena music venue. Despite its industrial chic it has, since opening in 1980, played host to acts from a diverse musical spectrum from Madness to Kraftwerk to Marilyn Manson."

How's this ....
"Nottingham city centre is the perfect place for a shopping break or a night on the town. This vibrant city offers a diverse choice of shops and restaurants to enjoy"
