I hear what you're saying and we're all singing off the same hymn sheet
Sounds like your Monday morning meeting went swimmingly!
Puffin come on, don't be so dismissive, we need some blue sky thinking here.
You're just grabbing the low hanging fruit.
Its fun to throw these kind of phrases around,
'Ok guys...lets get to the tip of the iceberg before it melts'
'Don't shoot the messenger but....'
'lets a do a forensic analysis of the accounts...'
'who's got the skeletal overview ?

Moving forward.
Across the piece.
Touch base.
One that annoys me at the moment is, when something is discussed, but it turns out there needs to be a further discussion about it outside of the allotted meeting time, my boss says 'let's take it offline'
That phrase REALLY winds me up, for no good reason!
There's no i in team
Some one should remind ADe of this phrase !
