Joining this a bit late, and only to repeat what everyone else has said. Thought this was excellent David. A great idea, really well executed. Have 5 kudos points.

Thanks, Rob, that's lovely to hear.
Peter Serafinowicz called this, and I quote, 'Very funny!'; now he has been known to lie, so don't just take his word for it:

And now Mr Graham Linehan tells me he found this 'Hilarious!'. Don't be a loser and miss out, give the site a good looK!
It's very funny indeed, nice work.
Cheers, Gappy, it's much appreciated. Don't forget to follow @overoveractive for daily business solutions.
Very funny chaps.
Thanks, Nil.
For those just tuning in please pay the website a visit and have a poke around - there's plenty to look at...
Hi All,
While we wait for the wheels of industry to thunder over our modest little project I thought I'd flag it up for any BCGers unaware of its existence. Please drop by and take a look at the site, the embedded videos and, if you like what you see, subscribe to the regularly updated Twitter feed @OverOveractive

Bussell out!
Very funny David. the business I work for has 'Solutions' in the title so it made it very poignant. Hope it gets on telly.

Thanks, Nicky. Have you been subjected to any memorable real life training videos in your day job?
Oh yes sadly. The management speak is another particular bête noire. Blue sky this, shit can that etc. I'm attempting to think up some new abstract management speak to see if it catches on.
My old boss actually said "Let's take it to trap one and see if it floats" which I found bizzare and amusing.
Anyway, good luck David.
"Let's take this offline, shall we?", meaning, "May I lambaste you in private?" is one I particularly enjoy.
Yes I've heard that one. Getting stuck in the weeds, running it up the flagpole, getting under the duvet together etc. They make me cringe.
I try to make a point, in meetings, of putting it across in plain English especially following some twat that has just announced "Get your umbrellas up, we're heading for a shit storm"
A bit like Alan Partridge in the garage when Tex says he's just gonna grab a Dr Pepper from the cooler and Alan says something like I'm going to get a Ginsters from the fridge.
Hello, I'm reviving this thread because we've uploaded the mini-version of Overactive Solutions to YouTube and figured there may be some of you who haven't seen it.
As a warning to most of you: this does have David Bussell in it. Sorry.
