Oh, Lord!

I could only get the c word through the filther if I left out spaces, so Gropehunt Street went through fine, as did Lady, love yourhunt

I am not sure if it got pulled on the secondary filther or if I got caught in the mod test

I was thinking that it wasn't a fair test, given that the mod test might have skewed my results so might have to start again, when they are not watching

Ivan, my thoughts exactly

Peanut, what's the mod test?

One of the great failed team-building exercises of my career involved people I'll call V (female, socially awkward, naive), N (Sunday School teacher) and G (old hippy).

The discussion was getting bogged down around 'team norms'. N said that sometimes she didn't like the language people used - even in conversations that didn't involve her.

G said, 'Hey V, why not go up to the whiteboard and write a list of all the words N doesn't want us to use any more!'

That was the end of that...

For some reason, as I browse hootoo tonight, I'm thinking of that episode.

I think the mods were testing mod stuff last night and I stumbled into it, trust me

Ivan it is good to see you here

rabble rousing, us, surely not

That's a very funny story Ivan. I know I shouldn't laugh, but somehow tonight I can't help myself

It was hilariously funny at the time. The facilitators of this exercise were earnest and toothy and just a little bit patronising; they'd already lost most of our respect and after G's comment they completely lost control of the group. We all went out to lunch and skipped the rest of the course.
