Obviously we would need help with the wages but what do you think our chances would be of getting Bony from City for the season?
Got no chance with them now and was on loan at Stoke last year but didn't get much game time there either (injured?)
Big, strong, pacy, knows where the back of the net is....

Our sales manager seems to reel them off every time he has to talk to someone for more than a minute. His favourites are;
"Its chicken and egg" or "it's a chicken and egg situation"
"We've got to play the game"
He seems to make others up on the spot when talking to his hot PA just to confuse her and make her laugh too, makes me want to peel my face off!
I find that when I go to meetings at the big supermarkets the managers and area managers are hooked on them, especially when talking to the shop floor and warehouse staff. It's a smug superiority thing I think. "Think outside the box" being the oldest and most condescending of them.
"Run it up the flag pole" was used in the 1950s film '12 Angry Men' and it was annoying people then so that should be consigned to history.
Hi Chaps
stopping in central London in a few days, off to America lunchtime the day after. Couple of questions for any in the know.
does my oyster card work on Heathrow Express?
how long should it take to get to Heathrow for check-in from central London?
The tube is way way cheaper too.
My sister owns a house with camping and a separate cottage in the Peak District (Hazel Barrow Farm) if anyone is interested!
They live right by the Roaches and the walks are beautiful, when it's not raining!
Rock Night on a Friday in the Winking Man is a blast and the climbing the next day will sober anyone up.
Beautiful part of the world and if you could guarantee the weather it would be rammed all year round.

Not really walker types is there much to do or see around there?
He isn't going anywhere, part of the plans for sure.
Have a nice time

Our supply chain manager is a right tit with these sayings. He can probably squeeze about 20 different ones into a half hour meeting.
His latest new one 'let's kick this one into the long grass'.
I think this means he either doesn't know how to deal with it or can't be arsed :D

I wonder if this could be the identity of the mystery bloke on tour who they couldn't find insurance/clearance for? That might well explain the presence of the Bulgar bloke on trial?
Sorry if there's already a thread on this - couldn't find it!
Great film - full of pulsating moments and breathtaking scenes. The 3 separate stories were brilliantly pieced together.
How many Novaks from the SHA Film Club?
Good read that, cheers.
I too was left a bit cringed by Tom Hardy's character but I understand why the last bit was wrote in.
"Work hard, play hard"
Most of my colleagues do work hard but are usually fecked after a few pints. Lightweights.
"Going forward"
"At this point in time"
'Close of play'
'Close of business'
I always go on the Tube, takes a bit longer but the journey isn't that bad.
....and you can use contactless payment to get on
Can we take this offline?
that's what I was thinking and I know the journey time will be longer - an hour?
When you do a Presentation and they call it a 'Deck'
"let's go through the deck again?"
No, why don't I pull out your eye balls and burn off all your body hair!!!
