Corporate Gobbledygook

As I was writing the post about phrases from baseball becoming a part of everyday office jargon, a Sunday evening TV stalwart flashed back into memory. The master of corporate gibberish was Gus Hedges from Channel 4’s Drop the Dead Donkey. Played to perfection by Robert Duncan who gave life to Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin‘s poke at 80s yuppie corporate flannel.

Sadly the copyright void that is YouTube doesn’t have any clips of Gus, so you’ll have to make do with the written form. Spot any favourites?

Just so you know, I’ll be stir-frying some ideas round my think-wok first thing Monday morning. Enjoy…

Thanks to Hazey, Shaolin_Monkey and h2g2 for the quotes. If anyone’s got more, do let me know and I’ll add them or leave a comment below. Thanks.
