What's the accountant doing in the language thread?
No, you did. Then you changed it.Quote:

I accused them of using the Dilbert random statement generator - :unsure: although I did this on the work board which might be a bit career limiting. Hey Ho!

It's no big deal or anything.
Hi Les, comment are you.
I spoke to someone the other day who told me she was from the "Dialogue Team". I asked her what that meant and she said "We talk to people".
I only didn't larf out loud because she sounded really sexy.
True story.
I is well - been doing a lot of DIY (the paint and window sealant kind rather than the sweaty version).Quote:

I think the Dilbert management book for dummies is a valuable piece of equipment.
It's very empowering
It's full of excellent suggestions for team building exercises.
On a side note;
the company I'm working for is changing its name to Goldfish... apparently because it sounds more upmarket than the name we're using the now... :huh:
as seen here...Quote:

You quoted me exactly. My alteration of the original has no effect on your quote. Also, you didn't correct the "do" from my original post, so why would you correct the fictitious "to"?Quote:

Thought there already was a Goldfish - credit card company.Quote:

No Court in the land would convict one for doing such a thing, given the circumstances.
Biggles:
There was a Goldfish credit card company, then they got taken over by Morgan Stanley, who have now decided it would be a great idea to be completely independent from Dean Witter and take over the Goldfish name as well as the bank :huh:
I couldn't help but wonder how much they spent on the new banners for the employee parking lot
Some of my colleagues would have acted had they known this. One did summarise the course as "complete pish". The provider, a Tony Robbins trained individual, was not entirely chuffed with this assessment and found it "challenging" :DQuote:

The food was excellent though.
Not the worst course I have ever been on - that was a two day kinetics course which I can only assume was an administration glitch. Accountants rarely drive fork lifts and move heavy boxes. I slept most of the two days.
What happened to Pearl & Dean.
If London can spend £400,000 on a logo which looks like Maggie Simpson doing something unnatural and unspeakable to Bart, the sky is the limit for a Bank.Quote:

There is I believe an animated version which induces migraines and blackouts.
Come to think of it this logo must have been put together by the rival French bidders :shifty:
So when is this guide being moved to the guide section?

Right, sooner or later; ( is a semi- colon ok here?) so they might just as well get used to it now ..Quote:

- 2 independent clauses are joined by a comma and a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so).
- 2 independent clauses are joined by a conjunctive adverb (however, in addition, instead, etc.) which is preceded by a semicolon and followed by a comma.
- 2 independent clauses are joined by a lone semicolon.

I think it's time for you to return to the BitTorrent forums they need your help more than teh Lizards.
Lesson one, in all English language lessons to be held in teh Lounge, is listen carefully and look and understand what the teacher is actually saying. Her word is law. It's is not to be discussed and brought into disrepute in any way. It's similar to a very well know cosmic law, which considering the scope of this thread; and anyway..we are only just approaching the term known as adjective. (semi-colons are smelly) What Skweeky says is English as English was meant to be written. So off you go, to a forum that needs your help more than this one. ( while you are there you can trade a few invites); and also mention to your class, that three words don't a sentence and hardly a phrase Or does it, Skweeky? Also never ever jest or make the teacher, before the class, appear to have got it wrong. That's capital. Also have you ever seen Skweeky in fighting dress.. with her whip?
Are you upset that I corrected your English? You shouldn't be, after all you were the one who asked. BTW, I think I'll be hanging out in the lounge for a while. I like it here :), and I don't trade anymore.Quote:

As for Skweeky, I have yet to see her in this forum.
She'll pop-up. Just remember to hold yourself down.
Not at all. You really must not jump to conclusions, that post you " corrected" was an otherwise failed attempt to pacify Skweeky, I thought you had probably missed that! Check Skweeky's post prior to my "erroneous" one. I really think you should be more attentive and show more understanding regarding the female psyche.Quote:

There shall be no classes today due to the teacher being severely hung over :(
Well, I've always been a little oblivious to the obvious and scrutinizing of small details. As for understanding the female psyche, I'm 20 years old. I have no interest in a relationship and haven't pursued one since I broke up with my girlfriend in high school. I have no interest in learning atm.Quote:
