That makes sense and I like it but for a long time for me if something is Donald Ducked it is beyond repair.

I went to a talk show recording in Sydney in 1989. The host wore standard shirt and tie sat behind a desk. End of take, he stood up revealing his knobbly knees, shorts, socks and sandals.

There's nothing new under the sun.

Nice one.

All fun and games until you spill a hot cup of tea in your lap.

Just put beer or wine in your tea cup but remember to blow on it before you take a sip so people believe it is hot tea/coffee

Pretty standard dress code for anyone in Oz whose work dress code doesn't involve one of these

In the 80s I had a little design studio in Soho (D’Arblay St) and used to walk past Jasper Conran’s office a couple of times a day on my way to see clients. He used to be sat behind his desk in the front window wearing suits in various colours, often with shorts instead of trousers.
Tosser I thought, but he was merely well ahead of the curve.

I thought Donald Ducking was when Donald and Mrs Donald love each other very, very much

I don't understand, how is this not just a normal work call?

Love the 'fim' maker one. I will try and get that also. I do have a set where there are three images of me side by side with a gap where I sit. I occasionally switch between them during meetings some the real me changes from the guy on the left to middle right etc does rely on me wearing a black tee shirt and being clean shaved.
