You see we work in an IS department and as you can imagine the conversations can get a little abstract, check out our anorachs corner, so ...

To lighten the office mood the notice board behind our desk, which was originally intended for company brainwashing purposes, has been hijacked and is now our very own team billboard.

People come from all over the building, well from our floor anyway, just to get with the topic of conversation for the week. Very often we have to either explain it or simply let people use their own imagination. This can be quite amusing for those of us who are 'in the know' as people can be completely off the mark and make fools of themselves trying to explain what they don't know - LOL.

Our board comprises of a very nice little aluminium number with a perspex window which allows the 'topic of the week' to be slotted into place. Sometimes, if we are feeling particularly creative, we may have more than one offering per week but we tend to change the subject on Thursday. Recently we presented a series based on the popular itv-digital monkey, mainly as a piss-take at my expense, but it worked well and you can see the pictures here.

Who are the office team members you ask, well here is the list, in no particular order apart from alphabetic on first name ...

Current office members ...

Ian Bandy - Ian runs Laptopical, which is a high hit website so thought I would piggyback on his great Google ranking ;-)
Lee Vickers - he is the boss, but in which camp does he really belong ?
Lincoln Jones - always a little, never enough
Philip Oldfield - the sharpest wit in the box

Departed office members ...

Amanda Oscroft - generous, warm hearted woman **redundancy **
Colin Holden - creative genius and seasoned coach travellor **redundancy **
Ian Bobbett - wannabe gang member **contract ended**
Linda Popplewell - she was the boss **redundancy**
Martin Farrell - webmaster and owner of this 2 bit domain name **moved to another office**
