    Flipwit meeting requests

    I've been invited to a "Brown Bag Lunch" meeting.

    What the flip is one of those??

    Anyone got any other silly ones to share.

    In case of emergency, break dance.

        Isn't just a way to hide the fact you're giving up your lunch break? Trying to make it sound exciting you are allowed to eat during a meeting...

          Turn up with a really smelly curry.

          And yes, it is just a way of getting you to skip your lunch break. Can I ask, is it an agile shop?

            Something to do with Java Somethingorother.

            I'm not that bothered really.

            I like the curry tip, but I'll take a Bombay Bad Boy with me instead and sit at the back.

              Sit at the back with your bad boy in your hands?

              More a Friday comment, sorry

                As a contractor, you should spurn the invitation.

                Things like 'brown bag meetings' or worse 'town hall meetings' are for permie slaves working in American (or at least Americanized) cube farms.

                You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

                  when kids peed themselves at our school they had to carry their pants home in a brown bag, running the gauntlet. Could it be something to do with that?

                    It's for some on-the-bench (i.e. not billing) permie to show off something they've spent the last six days...weeks...months researching. Usually on technologies that their employer will never ever use. Presentation usually done at lunch time where you would bring your lunch in a 'brown bag' - another stoopid Americanism.

                    If the number of brown bag sessions is quite high, it's time to check for brown trousers.
