n short, he's stopped us having fun on the company. So for the past couple of years we've had to fund our own fun, and as a result have generally been doing quite cheap things like, erm, going on coastal walks and having BBQs by the beach. Oh, and the one that I organised; spending the day planting saplings of native species of trees alongside a 'creek' whilst 'eradicating intrusive species' of plants, i.e. the ones introduced by the British when we populated this country of reprobates with the population of our society which was deemed not worthy of prison in the UK.More recently we did a team build in McMahons Point, which is just a ferry ride away on the North Shore. This was lunch with drinks, followed by crown green bowling with drinks, followed by drinks with more drinks. The bowling itself was only $10 for about 90 minutes of pure, unadulterated and quite frankly melanomaring fun. Naturally my team- new BIS- comprising of me, JK, Darren and Greg won the competition. This is in no small part due to Darren being, I'm assured, the most competitive man in American Express, and Greg, who employed an interesting left-handed strategy to steer our team towards success. Greg, featured below, swears he is right-handed, not even ambidextrous, but was working on the basis that the left hand often feels left (if you'll excuse the pun) out. So, supposedly, if you give it a chance and try to teach it a new skill it gets "very happy" and "tries really hard" (to quote Greg). Funnily enough Greg scored more points with his left hand than anyone else in the team with their right hand. I'm going to try this strategy when I next play squash with Skins, when, let's face it, I could win with no hands.
