    Covered in wrapping paper

    I think many of the meeting I have to go to would be improved by everyone being covered from head to toe in wrapping paper.

      I'd settle for just taping shut certain people's mouths for the duration of the meeting.

        If you use Swiss Siga tape it'll last more than just the one meeting. This stuff sticks so well you have to be careful not to get it stuck to your fingers.

        Off you go, BOFHs..

    If you want to know how to get on a Crown Commercial Services Framework it seems you just need to get your tinsel out and show off your baubles. Send it to CCS with a threat to send another one just like it next year, bingo: Santa will bring you an RM1054 for Christmas.

    So glad I didn't get one of these.

Our cloth-covered chairs are dirty enough as they are, for starters. In Softcat's case, it's more coercion than enticement: "pony up or we stay in the buff!".
