Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick).
There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Talking So 'Brainstorming' is poilitically incorrect.

Old news I know, but some folks in O2 have decided to call it something else.
No it's not 'Thought showers', it's 'Mind Dumping'.
This has had me laughing. Heard some carp in my time but this is a beauty.
Had to ask the wife whether this was a wind up or not....not.

Ste.

That'll be the same daft sods in the company that thought of up the name O2 when it changed from BT Cellnet... "Because you need your phone like you need air" or some similar pretentious crap like that.

Do they still talk about "Raising your profile"?
