      I thought you were going to say something stupid there.

        Anyone using the words "Dreams", "New" or "Innovation" in their corprate message or any combination therof will be taken out and shot behind the chemical sheds.

        In fact anyone with a "Corporate Message".

          Could you also take into account companies who make their call centre staff ask your name (Mary), then say "is it Ok if I call you Mary today?"
          Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

            People using the word "synergy"; push them through ham slicers, slowly, foot first.

              Can you add companies that use auto-dialling to connect to a home number, and then play a recorded message when you pick up, and then is answered by a person (sometimes) afterwards ?

              Oh...and including Thatcher in the same list as Gaddafi and Saddam is a bit harsh, don't you think ?
              Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

                No I don't - Thatcher admired totalitarian dictators like Pinochet and called people who expressed democratic opposition to her "the enemy within"
