Qantas FY11-12 report: buzzword bingo or a drinking game?

[SteveJohnson]

With Qantas doing its annual financial year results briefing tomorrow I am tempted to suggest a 'buzzword bingo' or even better a drinking game!

For buzzword bingo I would suggest 'enhancement' of course, and the first mention of 'A-tree-eighty' which is how Alan Joyce pronounces A380 (maybe that would be better for one shot in a drinking game), any other suggestions?

Out of interest how do you pronounce most words? DO you go up at the end of sentences like most Aussies - much to the hilarity of the Poms?

Also shouldnt this be in the playground as it is just a anti-QF beat up type thread?

A tree tirty.
tirty thousand employees.

Are other shot options?

so only poms are allowed to laugh at pronunciations of other people? Are we allowed to laugh at the kiwis, bro?

I guess you're not into drinking games so much. They aren't really anti-anything in concept. Well maybe anti-liver.

Sorry to say but this reply seems like a bit of an overreaction. A bit like the comments that suggest saying Joyce is an Irishman is somehow derogatory. Personally I don't think there is anything wrong with being an Irishman.

edit: but it should be in the playground.

My issue was that this was playground stuff and not forum stuff.

I couldnt really give a frak on the irish/not irish thing - I just find it amusing that people seize on AJ's failings due to his speech rather than his inability to run an airline.

Perhaps the playground - but maybe not yet or at all ... let's see how the thread evolves ...

Totally agree. Sorry for being slow with that point and not emphasising it

For a drinking game the point is not to saying it is a failing but to celebrate the thing that marks him as who he is. It's something distinctive that become part of the game. Like doing a shot when a forward does a hit up in state of origin, that's not about the player being a meathead.

You're right, I should have posted this in the Playground, it's just a bit of fun suggested and not intended as a cheap shot at QF or AJ.
