When you subtract negatives you get positives
Have you penned your book of "Great Business Expressions" yet Russ, that sounds a winner, especially on a good day fir releasing bad news.

I once walked into the lobby of an insurance company in East Belfast. There in prominent view for staff and visitors alike was a sign reading, "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem".

With trite bullshit like that in full public view, I resolved instantly to drink their coffee and do business elsewhere irrespective of what they had to offer. Mind you a few of their number became IFAs not long after and I'd happily recommend a man of absolute integrity if anyone needs a good IFA.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

There's no "I" in team but there are 5 in individual brilliance.

During my pre match team talk this morning,I used the "there is no I in team" saying.

With hindsight, probably not the best turn of phrase for a blind rugby team.

That would be great if it were not mathematically incorrect.
