Problematic if you ever get the train to or from Whitby as it stops and changes direction (driver and guard change ends) halfway to Middlesbrough.

Also the case in Bradford

If you're reaching out but then revert, does that make it a reach around?

I caused great amusement amongst colleagues and rolled eyes amongst managers when announcing in a meeting that "we don't need to go to the far end of a fart..."

I'd just like to jump in here and echo what Slow Oldman just said .....

"I have so many bin fires and only so much piss". Got a strange look from the construction director for that one.

This misuse of the word 'revert' may simply be a mis-translation thing.

The first time I came across it (in this context) it was a white bloke I'd worked with for years.

Of course, where he got it from, who knows.

I have the W*nkernomics book. It's very good.

A Project Manager I used to work with closed meetings with "Right, we're stopping now, you're just bayonetting the dead" which I have subsequently stolen 🙂

Our ceo has a hardon for Churchill so we just get quotes.

Except on one occasion we got hit with 'lord and saviour Jesus Christ' chat.

So it could be alot worse than you lot get.

"We are shifting left with a number of admin tasks..."

 

I think this means "not doing any more".

I'm so glad I don't work in IT any more, although it does seem to be getting worse in education these days.

Is that a Tinder reference?

(which direction is 'good'?)

A few of us used to play the game of using made up jargon and seeing you would repeat it.

A well known prime time TV show features "the pen of hope".

I only ever referred to it as the "Shed of Dreams" until eventually it caught on and someone used it on camera.

Personally I don't understand why it didn't make it through the edit, it's a much better name.
