Lucky escape
Had a guy employed to be our manager and he was bloody useless.
Fortunately he didn't last the 3 month probation period and quit (i.e. was 'encouraged' to leave) citing things like he didn't have our respect (well that has to be earned) and that we all had hidden agendas (no, I think you'll find that was work that we had to get done)

He loved his buzzwords and phrases too, rattled off far too many for me to remember (some of which you've listed) but the favourites in the office were:
"We'll go down that road, but they'll have to lay the tarmac first"
"Well it's a one-way street but the traffics going both ways"
"Two heads are better than one, even if one's a sheeps head"
No-one could quite work out what the hell he meant with the last one...
