Just replied to the Indian offshore team, with the term 'Please do the needful' on a reply to a request.
Oh I feel smug.

Did you ask them to do the needful with much quickness and plenty cheapness with all their software doings ?
Is your boss really Bob Shawadiwadi ?Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.
No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.Comment

Some time work a simile into some email to them, and include the phrase "so to speak".
I bet you'll find that in no time half of them are using it in every other sentence.
(Another good trigger phrase is "until and unless" instead of "if".)Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

My favourite offshore moment came from an OCS, really early one morning.Originally posted by MarillionFan View Post
I'd just logged on and a chat pops up.
Offshore Guy: Morning Mr TM. I've been awaiting your come to work.
Me: What can I do for you ?
Offshore Guy: Can I ask you a question ?
Me: Fire away.
Offshore guy: That is rude :-( I'll ask later when you have more time.
End of conversation

Not sure if this is true or not, but I read somewhere that 'Please do the needful' was a phrase often used by Churchill (the war time PM, not the dearly departed CUK poster).Originally posted by eek View PostWhen freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply.....Comment

I had a non-bob client user use the phrase 'will revert back soon' in an email last week.
They have given the bobs their marching orders, so hopefully this silliness will stop.Comment
