Not sure if this should go here or in room 101 but why does every company name these days have to be a "solution"?
Flooring Solutions Plumbing Solutions IT Solutions Warehouse Solutions Lighting Solutions
You get the picture
They're not the messiah, they just provide a service that's all.

They're not the Messiah, they're just very naughty boys!
Gambling actually goes into my room 101, a total mugs game, basically spivs hoovering money from people, who in quite a lot of cases can't afford it. Related to this is horse racing, another room 101 subject, I don't class it as sport at all, just another means of gambling. One thing about it I don't get is why all the racegoers have to dress up as if its a wedding reception or something. Top hats and tail coats for the blokes, the girls wearing great big hats which look like they will blow away in the wind, high heels which will sink into the soft ground.
Why and for what purpose?

Flooring Solutions Plumbing Solutions IT Solutions Warehouse Solutions Lighting Solutions You get the picture They're not the messiah, they just provide a service that's all. Blimey Steve - you are going to have me ranting and ranting for the next f*****g month with this one... "Business", "Corporate" and "Office" speak are one of my pet hates.
We no longer are allowed to have Problems - they have to be Challenges. Would that then make Challenge TV - "Problem TV"?
And as for this Solutions thing.... that crap started around 20 years ago. I have tried to apply it to some of the trades within the area I work....
Vision Solutions (Camera Dept) Electrical & Illumination Solutions (Lighting & Electrical) Welfare & Human Resources (Catering and Toilets)
or how about...
Artiste support solutions That banner could house Makeup, Wardrobe, Drivers, PAs....
Perhaps for this site: Nostalgic Entertainment Solutions perhaps?
I hate this bastardisation of the English Language by the corporate sector.... Room 101 for definate!!

It gets right on my Bristols an'all. Blokes in suits 3 sizes too big, birds in hats a helicopter could land on, posh gits pontificating about how and why a certain horse is going to do well, only to see it fall at the first fence and have to be shot. Cruelty beyond belief. I will admit to having been to the Grand National a few years back which cost a few bob. Sadly, I got chatting in the bar and one pint led to another. Ended up missing the race completely. Bolly was not amused in the slightest. Traveled home in total silence - (I missed most of the silence as well as I nodded off in the back of the motor). Gene.

Friday night after work drinks - I have had to work with those arses all week, I certainly don't wish to socialize with them Bringing cakes into the office on your birthday - if I don't want to drink with them I don't want to treat them to cake either Brown-nosing to the boss - I can't and won't be a 'yes' man especially when I can see things are going to turn to rat sh!t
Sam. Pretty much my sentiments, and just about everyone else I have worked with!
Ever considered a job in the Film Industry, Sam?
No chance mate, I've got a face and body for radio rather than film! Sam.
