Just the latest corporate parasitical infestation, aren't they? Somehow they've formed an alliance with accountants (the previous bane) to have a combined stranglehold on every business they can possibly infiltrate.

Mort, talent management is indeed a branch of HR. Its role, apparently, is to "recruit and develop the next generation of leaders to help [this organisation] meet the challenges of the 21st Century ..." Moving desks would certainly keep such people harmlessly occupied  'Talent Management' is surely essential as a way of ensuring that talented personnel have their talents truly appreciated in today's modern and busy world... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE6P-lwS0lQBaz  |

The American on
NO SOLICITORS
One presumes that the presence of barristers may be tolerated...

It has also been alleged that a hotel in Thailand displays the sign, PLEASE DO NOT TAKE SOLICITORS UP TO YOUR BEDROOM.  |

An increasingly paranoid Govt in Beijing is evidently concerned that our antipodean single-reeder may be plotting to undermine the transport system for the Olympic Games. A warning at the transit railway for the stadium advises against the potential trouble-maker in no uncertain terms:  |

Government terrorism warnings re-interpreted. Apologies if this has been posted before; it's pretty humorous, but also pretty old. Warning: may be mildly offensive, contains a smattering of slightly rude language (i.e., sh*t) and a smattering of American pop culture references.

I do love the Savignyplatz area. I have a feeling I've been to the Wotan-Apotheke once for some zinc.
I've certainly frequented a very fine sheet music shop not far away in Kantstraße. (Watch how you pronounce that if there are Anglophones present.) Cantus 139 it's called. For retrospectively obvious reasons.

I was in Berlin for two days - which turned into three following massive air-traffic control failure on Thursday evening - and fetched up in the Savignyplatz on Wednesday evening. Great art bookshop under the S-bahn arches. |
