Its a Knockout - Dirty Fun

Sneeked a peek at Nothing Interesting's latest post which mentioned the one off charity fundraiser - It's a Royal Knockout and it brought back happy memories of the hilarious show that enthralled family audiences for many years. The wheezing dirty laugh of Stuart Hall - guessing when Eddie Warring would manage to squeeze in his dirty "up and under" line.

The office summer bash looms to - hmm will it be another meal and drinks "do" - or could our dirty work be rewarded by something more stimulating? The answer could be an Its a Knockout Corporate Team Building event.

And my goodness - what a lot of sites are trying to tempt you with their Its a Knockout events

Take the staff away for a fun filled knockout event and they will return to their desks and get on with the job Sites such as Its a Knockout Hen Stag Corporate stuff list all the available games along with the Inflatables and Costumes to choose from - including Penguin Pursuit, Todger Tennis, Slippery Summit and Jolly Joust!

But hang on a cotton pickin' moment....

The site then quickly loses focus of the fun and begins its corporate training, executive coach guff with statements such as

  • "Good teamwork brings results; it is the core of organisational effectiveness"
  • "To help people who work together to function more effectively in teams and to assist the team itself to work effectively as a whole."
  • "Teambuilding attempts to provide groups with the information and incentives they need to manage themselves effectively".
Now that's a dirty trick to pull on all those with fond memories of television treats.
