sharkyvilla Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 reports that James Bond will drive a Fiat 500 in the new bond film No , just no .. he'll be wearing sandals and reading the guardian next Don't worry I'm sure he'll end up doing something to it that it deserves. I just googled the film and it looks like Blofeld is in it, as well as Batista from the wrestling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 What's worse is tosser colleagues pretending to go along with it and 'seeing the value' in it in a transparent attempt at sucking up to the superiors and trying to make you look like the Grinch. **** hate away days. "We've put you in random groups so you get a chance to interact with people that you wouldn't normally do at work. It gives you a chance to get to know each other better" - or some such guff. If i've worked in the office for 12 years and never interacted with Keith the paedo from customer services or fat Debbie with the lazy eye from accounts then a 'team building' exercise where we play cluedo* is not going to help me like them. *for reference it was Colonel Mustard with the lead pipe in the study.

villa4europe Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) reports that James Bond will drive a Fiat 500 in the new bond film No , just no .. he'll be wearing sandals and reading the guardian next As an abarth driver I won't complain if they give him one of those, specifically a black 595 competizione... And apparently it's for scenes in Rome and I'm sure fiat group has a deal with bond, they certainly had some good new holland product placenment in casino royale Edited November 25, 2014 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaajax Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Don't Fiat own Maserati? Surely that would be more suited to James Bond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battered. Arguably you should Ive always made a point of getting to know everyone I've ever worked with , be it the cleaner or the MD ... I try to file away a few bits of info on them and recall it as required ....you'd be surprised how much people you work with like the fact you remember where they went on holiday or the name of their cat End of the day you never know when you might need a favour from Fat Debbie ( insert innuendo here ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Tony, you are forgetting something: I am a miserable bastard. Leemond is flamboyantly outgoing compared to me. Maybe I was being harsh.. I'm always professional with people in the office but I don't want to be 'forced' to socialise with people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Don't Fiat own Maserati? Surely that would be more suited to James Bond. It will come down to marketing and which one will receive the biggest sales boost, I was joking about the abarth he won't be in one of those, he will be in a "mans" fiat 500, it will give a huge boost to an already successful brand, but I'd have to guess mainly with female drivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I was on another football forum where football is discussed and there was a real argument building about a fight on the pitch at a game last Saturday. People were calling each other out, officials from the clubs were pitching in, I helpfully pitched in with a popcorn eating gif ....... and killed it dead! No posts in a couple of hours now. I was enjoying that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginko Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 My missus went on one of those team building things - she thinks they're bollocks, too. Anyway, the task was to work out the area of carpet in the hotel. Everybody rushed off and started measuring rooms. She went and found a member of staff who had access to the receipts for the carpets, wrote down the answer, and went to the bar. When they judged the results she was disqualified for 'cheating'. On the plus side, it's that kind of thinking that gets you past the Men in Black interview process, so say goodbye to your wife for a while. Not that you'll remember. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with the increasing trend of people driving at night with just their sidelights on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
