    A cliché is a phrase used over and over and over and over, or an element of artistic work that occurs in films or music just as often. So is there a better candidate for a Day of the Year than ‘Cliché Day’? After all, it comes up over and over and over and over, just like its namesake! If you’re the kind of person who tries to avoid tired old clichés for fear of sounding stupid, this is the day to get them all out of your system in one bound and never have to think about them again till next year. Cliché Day is the day to advise your brother to ‘seize the day’ (or just exclaim ‘YOLO’ at random moments), accuse your spouse of being ‘drunk as a skunk’, tell your best friend she ‘means the world to you’. In a nutshell, it’s all fine and dandy on this particular day, so go with the flow.

    I'm going to give it 110%

  2. I always tell the lady's i work with how wonderful they are and they are even better looking with my glasses off.
    In the staff Rommel I let them know I'm thinking off heir figures so I'll eat the cakes on the side.

    Does that count.

    My pet hate, at this point in time, is anyone using "going forward". :mad:

    In meetings you used to hear it constantly, does my head in. Seems like we're singing from the same hymn sheet then Don :)

    Ha ha, "I'll chase that up" usually translates as "I'm going to do bugger all about that".

  14. The copying of the 'bingo' shows lack of 'blue sky thinking'.
    Latest one dorm daughters school is the mantra 'Ready to learn' on printed on everything. It's a carp school so I'm actually wondering if they're 'Ready to teach'.

    Teachers are two a penny, there's plenty more fish in the sea.

    Tuesday wildchild I'm a circle!

    I feel a feeling of hate towards anyone who claims to have reinvented something , for once something is invented it can't be reinvented just fiddle with.

    It's probably new and improved.

    And if you missed it you can watch it again on catch up.
