Detect the theme now BF?
BF? I didn't know you two were going out. Another BCG couple to add to the list.

I have one of those cans on top of my kitchen cabinets. You can find anything on eBay.
My granddad had one of those in his garage with the top removed, holding a myriad of crunchy paintbrushes. No idea where he got it.
Aw! Old crunchy paintbrushes. Must be a hundred of them in my dad's garage.
My granddad was a master carpenter. He always had stuff like that.
So tired. Slept three hours last night then went to work for nine. Strange desire to watch Glee.
Tuumble is benefiting enormously from a big bottle of cream soda being bought instead of lemonade. No other member of the family likes it. 
Who remembers the polar bear in the Cresta adverts in the 70s?
"It's frothy man!"
We have brought a car - A red 2002 Renault Scenic 1.6 16V Expression.
A little bit of a step back but will do us for a couple of years methinks.
You know what? Leeds can suck a cock.
WHY DOES LEEDS HATE ME SO MUCH?! WE COULD HAVE BEEN SO GOOD TOGETHER.
Dead glad I spent 10 hours of my Sunday getting to/from/dying on my arse for this gig.
Uh oh. What did Leeds doooo? Silly old Leeds.
Ah nothing, it's just the three times I've been there it's been super shit. You can't blame the audience though- a more experienced act knows how to treat a frosty reception.
Sometimes you can't win the audience.
also Leeds is a f**king dump
shit hole

Quote: Tuumble @ July 2 2008, 5:26 AM BSTI had a situation today that has cropped up many times over the past few months and it is beginning to really irk me. Basically we have a process in our office whereby my department takes all the incoming calls in rotation as most would be sales calls but that is far from universally the case. As a guess about two thirds are relevant to us specifically - the rest are for other departments and staff.
The phone system works in a group log-in system so to be part of this loop of incoming calls you have to log-in to the group. The IT department in particular don't do this so any calls for them has to come through us first.
That doesn't bother me as such as we are hardly inundated but I get really fed up having to give people the brush off because they don't want to speak to a caller even when asked for by name. Why should I do their dirty work?
I would like a rule that if a person is asked for by name they should take the call even if it is to ask the salesman to not call again. The caller doesn't want to speak to me and it just makes sense that there is clarity between them and the department they want to speak to so they do not call again in future.
It can't give a very good impression to outsiders and I don't see why I get the earache from an unhappy caller when the call is nothing to do with me or my department.
In the example today I had a mild argument with a colleague because he didn't want to speak to someone because he didn't recognise the name given and assumed it was a sales call for IT equipment. He said he was busy and refused to take it. Excuse me? I'm busy too! Dealing with call for another person in another department!
Am I being unreasonable in expecting them to deal with their own calls?
