so why did you go on holiday on a floating butlins full of pricks?

( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Tue 29 Apr 2014, 17:02, closed)

I love the nightlife and food and galleries of Paris
... so I went on holiday to Eurodisney.

Check you and your knowledge of international theme parks of the 1990s.

(eViLegion Chief Commissioner of the Scottish Lunacy Board, Tue 29 Apr 2014, 17:23, closed)

I confess the last time I went to a theme park was Alton Towers when the corkscrew was the big event.
On account of being an adult and that.

You mean you've never, as an adult,
wandered around such a place on massive drugs, laughing at all the terrible shit? Go do this.
I recommend that awful dump they have in Wales, as you can definitely get away with anything there.

I'm very old fashioned.
I prefer doing massive drugs in places I actually like.

That's old school.

get this, right ... this will blow your mind
when I'm not doing massive drugs, I prefer to not do them in places I like too!

I know!

because i wasn't paying and i wanted to spend christmas with my family
but also, it's a good way to see lots of different islands in different ways, eg catamaran around antigua, jeep tour on st martins, underground tour of nassau. the package thing made those trips much cheaper than travelling from island to island would be. and hell yeah, i'm greedy enough that 24 hour 5 star drinks and food was fucking awesome.

conclusion: i wouldn't rush to do it again, but i had a great trip.

True, but if you want to get better clients and more money it is a bullet you have to take by taking
the better clients to West End shows. Or Prague, where you order a box of matches and ...

I genuinely can't think of a single industry where you'd win better clients with musical theatre.
( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Tue 29 Apr 2014, 18:54, closed)

Any industry with a higher than average proportion of fops, ponces and dandies?
So, basically, the musical theatre industry.

this seems reasonable

No the clients have to be married and want to impress the wife and kids that they get great seats
at a London West End show that simply no one else can get - etc. etc. etc. - fucking corporate entertaining innit. Lion King closed me some um big deals.

Yes dear, you would know all about them given the limited amount of information I gave to you.

nobody uses hospitality as an incentive in consultancy
it wouldn't make any sense - a handful of Lion King tickets would cost less than I'd charge to chat to them on the phone

nobody from a zillion dollar tech company needs us to butter then up

Zillion dollar tech companies - are these off-world?

You do genuinely lack any sort of lateral thinking. Shall I get the crayons out and draw a picture.

a simple written answer would be fine

( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Wed 30 Apr 2014, 17:34, closed)

No. I cannot possibly think of a simple enough answer to explain corporate back pissing on.

right ... but how about answering the question I actually asked
that's usually more conducive to conversation
( Dr. Shambolic je suis charlie, Wed 30 Apr 2014, 19:45, closed)

what question, there was a massive assumption made by you about all industries. Good job
the corporate entertainment industry does not rely on your considered opinion as you only deal with ZILLION dollar companies.

read your original post again ... you seem to have confused yourself
nobody in a serious business wins clients through hospitality, particularly since the 2010 bribery act

that doesn't mean people don't offer hospitality ... I was given a rather nice lunch by a client the other day as it goes ... in fact I'd say at least two thirds of hospitality I get is paid for by our clients and not the other way around

Yep. Cruising is lovely.
Even though what you say about the Americans is true: using the lifts to travel just ONE floor, which means they're forever on call.
