Am I the only person that find this phrase rather disturbing?

Oh no.

[mrph.livejournal.com]

Not nearly as disturbing as some of the contents, though.

Today, however, is a Gannet Day. We have visitors, so the remainder of the buffet has been thrown to the engineers.

Mini-quiche. Brie and biscuits. Battered king prawn with dips. Scotch eggs. Assorted sliced fruit.

It's nice to see how economic conditions can cost us all our jobs, without impacting the important things, such as huge business lunches...

Ugh. Me too. Although until I read that I had just about managed to whipe them from my sphere of consciousness. Thank you soooo much

Whipe?

See, the mere mention of Simply Red is destroying my brain cells...
