You drive past the Golden Tulip Hotel and can't help but snigger

Worse than that, you are asked to come up with suggestions for a name for an ill-conceived new project and want to suggest Tulip.

Sorry to wander off topic ... but ...

Last January I attended a residential course in the Golden Tulip Hotel that is opposite the Manchester footie ground. They now call it the Tulip Inn, Manchester.

On day 4 I got food poisoning. I complained but they weren't interested and day 5 of my damned expensive course was a write-off for me.

So in my opinion, the Tulip Inn, Manchester is correctly named. It is indeed tulip.

Yup, I saw a set of tulip place mats while out shopping with the Mrs today, she did not understand why I laughed, exclaiming "Why would anyone want tulip on their table?" Too much to explain so think she is on the phone to the nut house as we speak.

Indeed - typing :wave: and :emb in an email doesn't quite convey the same meaning!

It’s interesting that English didn’t come with more emoticons built in than just the ? and ! characters. And yet someone went to a lot of trouble creating a new alphabet of uppercase characters, seemingly for no good reason.

At the risk of being serious, it does frustrate me that I can't use all the forum-stylee smilies in emails.

Isn't it about time email had a makeover?

Your new PM introduces themseves as Denny and you break out into a sweat and don't dare to refer to recruiters as 'agencies' just in case it's me.

I'd exercise my Right to Substitution and run

[Denny]

you hear that the new pm's name is denny and you joyfully attempt to say agency as many times as possible in the "introduce yourself" round.

Consider yourself terminated.

Yes dear. We'd all feel threatened.
