Overheard In (And Near) Meetings

"Expansion is only exciting if you get a thrill out of the work in the first place. If you don't then it's just a bunch more shit you've got to do."

"Have you been to Ireland before?"
"Of course. My father is from Aberdeen."

"I see a chicken and I want it painted black."

"Every time someone goes into the toilet, the lights go out in here."

"We're doing some new activities in Butlin's holiday camps. If you're not familiar with Butlin's in England, the people that go there are the same ones you see throwing up at Schipol airport. On the way in."

"Don't give me that 'meandering river' shit!"

That last one had airquotes and a hand gesture for the river. JH, HB and I kept catching each other's eyes and we were all on the verge of busting up laughing at inappropriate times.
