Hey you !

You there....

Yes, you in the black !

Do you loathe the hours you have to spend at work or school, missing the chance to be indulging your passion for all things Sisters ? Would you rather be thinking of Von than the phone call you're on ?

Well then, this is for you.....

Reptile Housey-Housey !!

All you have to do is to work track titles by The Sisters of Mercy into your daily grind - documentation, reports, assignments or even phone conversations with clients. Instant fun for everyone !

You have four game cards to play - one for each album from FALAA, FL, VT & SGWBM. For a tougher game try playing the remastered albums for extra items to complete. As you manage to get a track past somebody simply mark it off until, finally, you complete the set.

At that point leap in the air, wherever you are, and shout "Reptile HOUSE !!"

Have fun and make a note of any really cunning successes.........

I managed to get a great one in this afternoon on a call about needing an engineer out to a site:

"Yes, I think we'll need a visit to see if we can find the cause of this corrosion......"

One point to CP, I think !

Well I work in IT, so I manage to get "Crash and Burn" in on an almost daily basis.

I'd imagine "Fix" will be easy too !

I would answer this thread, but it would probably lead to self-incrimination with the amount of Sisters stuff I have worked into my job...

Can those using the Dr Jeep theme play? If so, what are the rules. Blue font on a black background is simply unreadable.

Hope that's better - colour definitions now removed !

Walk Away from it Martin

Some of the old dears at work were, just this very morn, speculating as to what I get up to out of hours. I couldn't resist saying 'I don't exist when you don't see me', then chuckling inanely to myself for awhile thereafter.

Bonus points for getting a whole line plus song title in there? I think so.

GodsDammit! I wish I'd known about this yesterday - someone I work with (most definitely not a Sisters fan) was talking about enhancements to a product yesterday, and complained that a coworker lacked "the vision thing". If I'd known about Goffiq Bingo I'd have come back with, "Yes, but she does have the body electric," (given that she's a bit of a saucy bird) - grrrr....

Does working with someone named Alice give me an advantage?

As long as she doesn't give it away

Only if I can get a point for having once shared a flat with someone called ItwasacoldanddarkdecembernightwhenIopenedupthebedroomdoor Smith...

I wrote "top night out" in one of my GCSE English papers last year, got an A too!

unfortunately we were being marked on spelling, otherwise I would've written it the correct way

engineers often complain when I send them out at 3:AM ()

Often we both know it isn't a priority but my mantra is 'I'm between a rock and a hard place here-you'll just have to go!!'

I think Valentine should be easy enough to slip in next week.

I'll be mightily impessed if someone gets Detonation Boulevard into a sentence!

Yeah, many are actually easier than you think but some must surely be worth bonus points !

Exactly.

Kiss The Carpet would be another funny one to get in.

No bonus point for More.

Any ultra bonus points for slipping a few in during an interview?

Oh, I think that would be most commendable !

I was thinking maybe Vision Thing is rife for using. It sounds like management speak.

Driven By The Snow would be quite apt for a day like this too.

I often PDF design work to clients and the follow up phonecall usually goes something like this:
Client - Just one small typo, change blah to blaah
Me - I'll do it right now <makes change and prints to PDF, then sends new e-mail>. Right, that's it "on the wire" now
<pause>
Client - Got it, thanks. Ok that can go to print.

I'll nick that if you don't mind James
