French Polish

[steveL]

President CAB has been at it again, I gather. This time he's splashed out on having his desk french-polished.

Apparently, there was a coffee mug ring left on the surface from Drummond's days and poor CAB found that he couldn't stop staring at it. This triggered a spending spree and something of an office refurbishment aimed at removing all traces of Drummond.

Total cost has been estimated at around £4,000 for the french polishing, a nice glass top, new pictures and other refurbishments. I understand that the carpet tiles have also been replaced after the colour was deemed unsuitable for paranoid, megalomaniacs.

Could anyone recommend a polish that could remove all traces of the present incumbent ?
Then organise a whip round for an industrial size drum of MayorGone commercial  polish. The whip round may be over subscribed.
Any chance the mark was his own reflection?

My understanding is that this is NOT true. It was a rumour circulated originating from deep within the civic. I have it on record from a very senior officer that the council leader has definitely NOT had any refurbishment work done on his desk. 

Somebody is either misinformed or is deliberately being mischievous.

There seems to be many of these whispers leaking out lately, some of which seem to be unfounded.

So...no French polishing on the brown ring on the desk!  I'll be able to relax now...once I get certain images out of my mind!

As we are now on what I think is version 6 of the truth coming from' Senior Officers 'surrounding Carpetgate, I'll take that with a pinch of salt.

A tip for Senior Officers: Start by telling the truth in the first place then we won't have to go through all of the intermediate stages one by one. I know it's a new concept for you but give it a try.

If someone could sneak past all the armed guards at the kremlin, avoid all the laser beams that protect the valuable recently polished table and take a pic, then extract themselves without discovery, perhaps the chapter of the brown ring could be exposed or dispelled once and for all, but if your discovered the penalty could be severe, up to a £4000 fine and a weekend of public humiliation sprucing up flagpoles and cleaning the war memorial weed bins.

Heard from more than one person that Calamity Chris has thrown something of a wobbler over this and is trying to find out the source.

If there's any truth in this it's going to get very awkward.

I heard it from someone on the third floor...... apparently he desperately wants to know who let the cat out of the bag...... quite how he will manage that i have no idea........ the likelyhood is, that the more officers are pressurised..... the more they will feel the need to drop these little snippets of information about his dropped b****cks.

Things have turned ugly already. Springer is in a meltdown. He says we have just voted to get rid of our Poles and now the Council want to import one from France!
