    I've been blue sky thinking and I'd like to run a few ideas up the flagpole if you wanna have a pow wow?
     
  2. It's not over till the dimensionally-challenged female-preferred-gender person sings.
     
  3. I'm open-kimono on this one.
     
  4. What about "When the rubber hits the road" especially for those mid restoration.

    So long as you don't mind me stir frying a few of those ideas in my "think wok", then we're good to go.
    You're certainly propelling with forward momentum the folded and often Manila-coloured letter container with that one snots :thumbsup:

    Used to have this HR lady, in meetings/training days, if someone was starting to go off on a tangent about something she'd be "can we park that for the moment" meaning we'll come back to it later :mad:

  9. You do the math!

    Run it up the flagpole and see who salutes it..

    Take the helicopter view

    Ive used most of these and all the previous cliches for a laugh. Frighteningly people who have never used them start quoting them back at you. Perhaps im just too convincing. Our latest one came from the boss who came back from a leadership (self help group) event having had the benefits of another organisations "eyes wide open" campaign in empowering the workforce to report issues, sort of kaisan-light ( theres another cliche thats creeping in, "______ light") anyway it sounded poonthe first time he said it, its so cringeworthy i cant bring myself to say it and he brings it up at our meeting every couple of weeks asking how the campaign is going... It going to nowhere city i can tell you! Its kind of like a zero defects approach (another one).

    Remember... safety is no accident!

    As noones said it yet........4 bolts!

    Excuse me Van if this is a bit out of leftfield, and you may accuse me of playing hard ball, but you're not "on message" are you?
