I just thought that posting “Nice” on the previous 2 incarnations of this sub and then “shit” on this one would be funny. And it amused me, so I was at least partially right. But now that the other 2 have dropped back down the board the effect of that has been lost a bit and I’ve just been left looking like I was being abusive. Just wanted to set the record straight as I wouldn’t want this little incident to come back and haunt me later on in my political career.

They are now asking the firm to take disciplinary action - but not that kind - against him. According to accounts supervisor Mary Blaine, 39, the problem began just over three months ago. Underwood was speaking at the leaving presentation for his attractive young assistant Amanda Baker, when he made a pretend slip of the tongue that had the whole office laughing. 'He said 'Amanda, on behalf of the whole team, I’d like to spank you very much, but I doubt that’s going to happen, so I’ll just give you this present instead',' said Blaine. 'Next time someone left, he started on about us having a 'whip-round'. Before long, he couldn’t get through a day without slipping 'leather' or 'chains' into the conversation.' Added Blaine: 'Surely I can’t be expected to work with someone when all the time he’s probably thinking of making me dress up as a traffic warden, strapping me to a chair and walking around me slowly in circles while holding a riding crop behind his back and telling me what a naughty girl I’ve been for giving him a parking ticket while I sit there helpless and gagged ... oooh ...' A few of Zentixx’s 72 workers are more sympathetic. Marketing executive Max Wright commented: 'I can't help noticing that every last one of these people tut-tutting at Rupert knows what BDSM stands for. Funny, that. It's Bondage, Domination, Sadism and Masochism - I Googled it. Yes, that IS why CagedRussians.com is on my browser, actually.' Team harmony is vital to Zentixx and managing director Graham Meadows has decided that Underwood has to go. He recognises, however, that the case for a sacking is legally weak and that the board may struggle to persuade Underwood to accept voluntary redundancy. 'I guess we'll probably have to go to an employment tribunal to thrash out a deal with him,' sighed Meadows. 'And let me stress that I mean that metaphorically, not putting on Roman gladiators' costumes, wrapping up some birch twigs into a bundle and flogging each other's pale, hairy backs into a bloody pulp. At all. I'm not into that kind of kinky stuff. At all ... oh shit.'
