AVZ Discussion 2022

Agreed. I remember hearing an anecdote from the early discussions where Rwanda started playing silly buggers and got up to walk out. Boulos (I think ?) gave them the smackdown and they fell in line...

Yes it was Massad Boulos and the incident completely changed my view on his appointment by Trump. I'd previously written it off as nepostic but after that I became convinced he's the right person for the job. We need more of that and I sincerely hope the Trump administration deliver a solid boot in the arse for these incompetent kleptocrats.

No, be nice and give him a good, firm hand shake.

My boss and our admin ladies went out for lunch today. I stayed back to finish some work and watched that Mallrats clip in a moment of distraction.

Meanwhile my boss ordered fish pie then got a call from a client wondering if he was attending a meeting he'd forgotten about. He had to rush off and didn't have time to wait for his lunch, so our admin ladies returned with it wrapped up to go.

One of them popped it in the fridge and remarked that now her hands smelt of fish pie. I recalled the Mallrats clip and immediately chuckled. She got embarrassed and told me to fuck off.

Not sure how to explain the situation without making it worse. True story.
