            "Be a dear and get me a coffee" and when she came back a polite "Thanks toots"
            A show could have a lot of fun with someone loosely based on him.
            He once told me that if you have to talk to someone about their work performance not being up to scratch do it at 4pm on a Friday.
            The theory was to let then worry about it over the weekend on their time and by Monday they'd either resign or admit they could do better.
            I worked with a manager who was hungover and tried to ring in sick one morning when we were supposed to be doing our stats registration (basically a public service version of astock count. It decided our staffing levels for the next year) His clerical assistant who basically ran the place picked up the phone and said "BENNO! I'm sending the office car to your place. It will be there in 30 minutes and if you haven't had a shower, shit and a shave and are ready to get in it and come to work then the hangover you have at the moment will seem like child's play '

            He was in the office within 40 minutes and spent the day sleeping on a table in the conference room while she took files and documents into him to sign.
            They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                  Whilst I agree with the premise Ivan Reitman is an ex genius, given he died in February.

                      Well the God Father post was a reference to stereotypes slapping stereotypes around to get a result, so you're warm enough.

                      It's always just a matter of time until the shit comes out and you realise that basically everything from an era is sullied by people being complete arseholes as means to justify ends.

                      The other day you questioned my "pedo eating popcorn" reference. That was about the meme where Michael Jackson is chowing on the popped corn to signify an argument taking place.

                      It just seems that all you have to do to find out everyone is a piece of shit is hang around long enough for it come out.

                      I love Stripes by the way. I watched it way too early, but now it's tainted. The Usual Suspects was in my top five until Spacey got called out and I can't watch it anymore, even though he's now been let off.......

                      Michael Jackson is OK musically, but he's a *!*!*!*!ing pedo and housewives and housemen still carry on like lunatics when his music is played at 18th birthday parties whilst there's all sorts of younger kids running around the joint.

                      Life's funny, but it's also pretty effed.
