dafso, work has me phoning charities recruiting CFOs and whatnot for a focus group being run by another charitable organisation...
whilst on hold to the good people at ASPIRE, rather than being subjected to a 120dB assault of greensleeves, as is, i believe, mandatory from such organisations, i got to listen to coldplay's "clocks" whilst a recorded message about the charity's services was played over the top of it.
anyways, and i probably shouldn't be sharing this with people, i found one part of their message so funny i that had to hang up & choke down my laughter so as not to get in to any trouble
"what made me laugh?" i hear you thinking...
this seemingly innocuous sentence conjured up images in my head of children mentally scarred for life, paralytically phobic of wheelchairs or armbands; unable to use public transport for fear of encountering one of the "wheeled monsters" after having been subjected by mum and dad to a birthday party at cripple central.
...ok, so i'm a bad person and i'm going to hell, but if any of you so much as chuckled at that then you're coming along with me.

"give you child a birthday to remember with a party at ASPIRE in the pool or sports hall"
