While we’re on the subject things like British Waterways changing their name to the Canals and Rivers Trust or the Spastic Society now calling itself Scope.

Going even further of topic, WTF is a “gender reveal”, I was expecting them to announce they were now “identifying” as a small hamlet of two houses on the outskirts of Bridgnorth or other such nonsense

The Scope one sticks in my mind after hearing an interview with someone with spasticity who basically said “I’ve got spasticity, I know what that is, WTF is Scope?”

It changed to Capability Scotland here, a better title in my opinion. I used to work there from time to time, intimidating initially but once passed that I enjoyed it.

I remember some years ago seriously contemplating applying for an advertised job for an events organiser at Adnams just down the road in Southwold. Actually having a job organising p1ss ups in a brewery could have been fun, but I dread to think the name calling if it went wrong!

When I was doing some work for Toshiba on EPOS stuff, we had some Yanks come over, one of them's job title was 'Master Inventor'....

Before you ask, no idea....

Professional Sperm Donor?

Just been to the sperm donation clinic, the nurse said would you care to masturbate in the cup?

I said I'm pretty good but I'm not ready to compete yet.

I worked that one in for the purposes of the joke....
