@BSintolerant @YouOKHun @Angrymum22 after reading your posts I feel like I'm in some kind of Carry On Film with all the double entendres flying around.

Carry on up the pyramid 🤣

@PieonaBarm 🤣🤣 You’ve reminded me of the front page of Punch (1991 New Year Edition). It’s a bit blurry, but the dialogue is:

Caesar: “Ooer Miss Cleo, you’ve got a wonderful asp!”
Cleopatra: “Just wait ‘til you see my pyramids!”

Anyone else miss Punch? Jeremy Beadle’s Macbeth was a work of genius as well …

Punch was obligatory for dentists waiting rooms in the 70s & 80s. We always had them at work and I remember reading them as a child in our dentist’s. I seem to remember that we were sent free copies for the common room in the dental school I attended. Good marketing.
Like many satirical publications they have been buried by the woke humourless youth of today. Although my DS19 is an underground satire fan. He just won’t admit it in public.

Yawn is stepping into a whole new zone.

Essentially flogging snake oil to women just calling it something different. So not that new then eh?

BSintolerant · 19/01/2024 08:36

Very clever marketing @Angrymum22 - much more effective than PUPP boxes and fluoride-free toothpaste.

Snake oil, asp oil, thatch oil … they’re all the same according to The Dictionary of Botshite @MrsDilligaf

DeliaDeetz · 19/01/2024 13:08

According to Yawn 2024 is shaping up to be a great year already...has she not looked at her own accounts properly! 😂

There is obviously a lot of pressure coming from higher up as even Uber has been posting lots of blatant recruitment crap! Time freedom, kids through private school etc...

Spongebobette · 19/01/2024 13:38

Yes it’s very clear that the ‘leaders’ are being pressured non stop by the new country manager to recruit and to bring back ex bots - and they have to turn up to all these ‘on tour’ events, in the middle of winter at antisocial times

BSintolerant · 19/01/2024 13:56

… in a freezing cold tent.

ticktock19 · 19/01/2024 14:14

Is yawn having her brainstorming meeting in the local mini dealership ? Am presuming the yawnmobile is in for a service

YouOKHun · 19/01/2024 14:15

@Spongebobette and they don’t get paid for their time at these events do they? Not cold hard cash, maybe a bit of product, a bunch of flowers or the cost of an off peak train ticket, but not the kind of cost coverage and extra pay that would be likely in a proper company if an employee was giving up their free time to travel somewhere.

I don’t think the new CM has relented since he arrived in The Tent to share his brand of hard sell, but it seems like the pressure has gone up a notch doesn’t it? He’s like a smiling attack dog pushing them to recruit anyone by any means. Perhaps his American bosses think that all the UK business needs is some threatening coercion to bring it back to life, and he’s the man to do it. The only thing that is going to revive things is a bit of time travel back to 2014.

I wonder if these bots like Yawn, 2Jags etc have worked out that the people telling them how great FLP is and how lucky they are to have the chance to give their time for free, are all in receipt of a salary.

Spongebobette · 19/01/2024 15:14

Not only do they not get paid, they bleat on about what a generous company they ‘work alongside’

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 19/01/2024 18:31

New GLT has been announced and Bloodsucker is the only UK member. What's really telling is that she's bottom of the rung now in the GLT at 7.5K. The top is at 45K. This really shows how far the UK has fallen.

Spongebobette · 19/01/2024 18:43

Wow!

Spongebobette · 19/01/2024 18:56

Interesting that the top one is in Japan

YouOKHun · 19/01/2024 19:00

I’ve managed to sit through that GLT video - naff, naff, naff.

Very telling @dickiedavisthunderthighs. what’s the betting this year is her last outing?

And then there were none.

Spongebobette · 19/01/2024 19:02

I wonder if she’s now relying on a big downline in Africa

Spongebobette · 19/01/2024 19:06

I can’t wait to see the bots on parade in New Delhi at the Global Rally!

it’s in the Indira Gandhi indoor stadium. Bet it will be very entertaining to watch 😉

Spongebobette · 19/01/2024 19:12

I’d like to be the first to predict that Yawn will opt for the cash alternative

PieonaBarm · 19/01/2024 19:46

Her mate was having a service so Yawn rocked up to have a meeting with her and rinse the free coffee. How times have changed. Free coffee down the mini dealership and not aspirational Starbucks cups

ticktock19 · 19/01/2024 19:49

@PieonaBarm times have indeed changed...looks like it was a successful meeting as Yawn has persuaded her friend to be her 'real life menopause person' when she does her menopause zoom talk on Wednesday.
Yawn also states that she is in the perimenopause so we all know where that's heading don't we

Tupperwarelid · 19/01/2024 20:11

What’s happened to the male German bot that was number 1 for years? Has he been overtaken?

NormalForNuneaton · 19/01/2024 20:35

The mini dealership was probably a lot warmer than the leaky old thatch too (although I've noticed she's now calling it a farmhouse).

Talking of Yawn, anyone else think she looks tired in her Insta stories today? Bags under eyes that have been filtered out on the fb pic with her buddy.

Wintersgirl · 19/01/2024 20:41

(although I've noticed she's now calling it a farmhouse).

It also seems to have acquired an extra bedroom and half an acre of land...
