<p>Jegga, that reminds me of a game we used to play when I was in the corporate world. It was entitled "Wank Word Bingo". Basically your bingo card was filled with sayings like "Push the envelope", Blue Sky Thinking" etc and during a seminar or management meeting you would tick them off on your card as some twat spouted them. It is supposed to culminate in one standing up shouting "WANK WORD. I WIN!" on getting a full line.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now I'm not saying whether I ever won or not but I am no longer in the corporate world.</p>

<p>Love it Cato.</p>

<p>Did the **** word start with a "c"?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The phrase "reaching out" still makes my skin crawl - "thanks for reaching out" - what? I only asked you a fucking question or sent you a fucking email! :idiot2:</p>

Yeah thanks for reaching out Siam. We are super-excited about this, it's real game changer and could lead to a paradigm shift in our agile working, which we expect to become the new normal. Please co-create with your swat team to leverage further and let's land this on the runway.

Siam

<p>You leveraged my humour in a very audible way good sir :yes:</p>

Catogrande

Not a 'C' Siam, hopefully the fluffybunny filter would have worked on that. It starts with a 'W' and ends in a 'K' and has A & N in the middle.

TeWaio

<p>The word "leverage" is so overused......unless you're talking about actual levers, or maybe balance sheets at a push.....then just stop.</p>

Catogrande

Even worse when it is pronounced "levveredge". Bloody Seppos.

My other bugbear is "stakeholder engagement" and I think we can point the finger at the UK public sector for that one

<p>A report from BBC News details how a split-second encounter ruined one man's life.</p>
</div>
<p>A walk through one of the busiest train stations in the UK changed Mark Pearson's life forever.</p>
<p>It took him just half a second to pass an award-winning actress at a busy train station but that was enough for prosecutors to charge with him sexual assault.</p>
<p>When the case finally got to court a jury needed only 90 minutes to reject the allegations, but by then the damage had been done to Pearson, a 51-year-old artist and picture framer.</p>
<div><img src="http://www.stuff.co.nz/content/dam/images/1/9/p/g/7/r/image.related.StuffLandscapeSixteenByNine.620x349.19pg79.png/1455130199256.jpg" title="" alt="1455130199256.jpg"><div><span>SUPPLIED</span></div>
<div>
<p>CCTV footage shows Mark Pearson never took his hands off his bag or his newspaper.</p>
</div>
<div> </div>
</div>
<p>It was claimed he assaulted the TV, theatre and radio actress penetratively for "two or three seconds" as he walked past her at London's Waterloo station, before landing a heavy blow to her left shoulder as he pushed past her, <i>The Telegraph</i> reported.</p>
<p>CCTV footage could not establish if Pearson and the woman made physical contact as they walked quickly past each other. A forensic expert for the defence told Blackfriars Crown Court Pearson had passed the actress in half a second, saying any assault was a logistical impossibility.</p>
<p>Specialist CCTV forensic expert Jacob Blythe showed Pearson was carrying a newspaper in his left hand - the one he was alleged to have used in the assaultâ€‹ - and holding his bag in his right.</p>
<p><i>The Telegraph</i> said the case raised more questions about the decision-making in sexual assault cases by Britain's Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), in particular pressing ahead with improperly investigated prosecutions with gaping holes in the evidence.</p>
<p>In Pearson's case, the woman failed to pick him out of an identity parade, there was no forensic evidence, and there were no witnesses despite the train station being crowded with commuters.</p>
<p>The CPS also produced the CCTV footage during the three-day court hearing last week at half its normal speed - a critical change, given the case rested on whether Pearson had enough time to commit the assault. </p>
<p>"They said they did it for technical reasons; what they were we weren't told," Pearson said.</p>
<div>
<div>
<div> </div>
</div>
</div>
<p>The CPS had the CCTV evidence right from the start, and from it could have realised the complainant's statement was "total crap" and dismissed the case, he said.</p>
<p>He believed the CPS was overly keen to get convictions at all costs, after high-profile mistakes in cases such as those involving broadcasting personalities Jimmy Savile and Rolf Harris.</p>
<p>The incident allegedly happened on December 3, 2014, although the first Pearson knew about it was when six police officers turned up on his doorstep on February 5, 2015. From the start he called the claim "preposterous".</p>
<p>He had no memory of the day he walked past the actress - it was the same "boring journey" from home to work he made regularly.</p>

It's on the internet now, I think the suppression only applies in the Uk but I'm not sure if the mods want it posted here.
