Inside:

"You're a shambles!"

"I can't belieeeve what I'm hearin', here"

'You lost me bladdy money!"

"Get out of my sight"


BTW I think you'll find that many of the ideas in the above thread have already been tried. Since the late 1950s, America's MAD Magazine has been including "joke" Cards for Every Occasion, only to find them adopted for real (innocently) in later years...

Greeting Card Ideas: What are yours?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Poor Sara missed an opportunity on last nights episode... If she were more confident and outspoken then she could have taken forward her ideas centred around ethnic celebrations and adapted them... I am guessing from her surname she is of family with an Indian Hindu background, then she knows of a celebration called Raksha Bandhan celebrating the Brother Sister relationship...

How about National Siblings Day? That would have been my proposal... in the west we have mothers and fathers days with which we chuck in grandparents. BUT What about sibling love?

But then they too would have had a dilemma of the apostrophe to contend with!

I agree with this (it probably has more legs than the two ideas that went forward) but I can't belieeeeve that Asian-sourced publishers in the UK haven't tried this already (The text in a mix of languages would also be highly reliant on Sara's input).

It is cr*p team leadership to allow the group totally to ignore what a team member suggests. The point should be caught and properly evaluated.

I got the inkling that "feeling" against Sara had been building up over the last two or three weeks; hence the broad tendency to ignore...

Oh no! You misunderstand me, I'm not suggesting going with the Indian/Hindu/Muslim theme BUT adapting a particular aspect of the Brother-Sister celebration to make it more inclusive to all regardless of faith or ethnicity. White, black, oriental, middle eastern people all have siblings...
There isn't to my knowledge a National Siblings Day... And even better strategy would hav been to coincide this day for all with the Hindu/Sikh celebration.

Sara seems quite smart and intelligent and I'm sure she must of had a similar concept in mind and whilst she quietly did her part with the environment thing and she was in no way whatsoever to be held responsible for the failure of the team I do believe her biggest failure was to not be stronger in voicing her opinions.

If she expressed her ideas louder and the rest of team still ignored her then she could have told SAS in the boardroom "I'm sorry I made my suggestions and these 'tards went the other way."

Yes, you did say that, and the second part of your mail was particularly clear.

I'm more bothered about the generic point -- ignoring Sara's suggestion altogether -- that the nature of a (sadly imaginary) day.

Congratulations on your "all clear" from the pox doctor!

Sorry to hear about your genital warts!

There is, but do you honestly think the present government aren't above slipping another stealth tax into something that goes to the war effort.
