Subject: RE: New words for the 12 days of Christmas
The Shiny Bum Singers from Oz, who satirise the bureaucracy and are touring UK nexr year have the following:
On the twefth day of Christmas My branch head gave to me Twelve flouros flashing Eleven copieers clanking Ten tearooms flooding Nine computers crashing Eight pollies pouting Seven journos jaunting Six SOGs a-sleeping Five synergies Four new ideas Three false starts Two bum steers And a consultative committee.
'Pollies' in Oz-speak are politicians, SOGs are senior officers (grade x).
