This thread reminds me of the Franz Ferdinand song, the Dark of the Matinee:

I charm you and tell you of the boys I hate

All the girls I hate

All the words I hate

All the clothes I hate

How I'll never be anything I hate

You smile, mention something that you like

Oh how you'd have a happy life if you did the things you like

What's wrong with the little clippy badges we used to wear?

I'll see your lanyards and raise you...crappy tea and coffee dispensers that either dribble out like a 90 year old with an enlarged prostate and kidney stones or gush out like a water cannon.

Some wear them like canonical dress.

You try to discreetly read the bade to see that your talking to Keith, project manager …

Agreed the beverage dispensers help not one bit.

What about the pens? Break during the first session.

If you class about 3 to 8 men stood in a field discussing how to get the job done in the best way as a conference. They I’d have to say winter, that steel in the end of my wellies gets mighty cold.

The inevitable deathly hangover, having had a jolly the night before with your workmates - you know the score "fancy a quiet one to catch up before the boring morning".... cue getting to bed at 6 am with an 8 o'clock start.

The fact that it should have been an email.

Never yet been to a conference that needed to exist. Far as I can tell it's just management types squandering the budget so they can stand at the front and feel important.

The length of time they go on for. And I’m not a fan of sparse refreshments.
