Thank you um bongo. I now remeber the books from when I was a YTS boy in a spray shop.

Oh, and a pantone is a number that refers to a colour shade, like when you choose whether to have magnolia or pale daffodil dulux paint from the cards in the paint shop. We have books and books of them (I'm in the rag trade) but no doubt the graphic designers have some "database".

Sort of.

It works on a similar principle to the paint swatches, but Pantone uses numbers rather than names. We use these swatch sticks well. A computer screen does not give an accurate colour match for the final print.

The vast majority of colour printing uses four colours: cyan, magenta, yellow and black (commonly abbreviated to CMYK). However, there are some shades and tones that you cannot get with these colours, so sometimes a ‘special’ colour is required - a Pantone. These are made up of a combination of different colour inks.

You will commonly find them on magazine covers where there is a really garish pink or orange title on the front.

We use numbers as well but they also have names. But then we're in clothing so our designers tend to like being able to call things "buff" and "chiffon".

As opposed to PANTONE 1215 C.

The chips had nos. The number was on microfiche, and that gave the weight amounts per litre, hence the colour was made to the right shade.

Burglar alarm salesman. Come round to your house on the darkest nights of the year and try to scare you into getting an alarm

Just because the feckers are blind and can't see the alarm box on my house (dark coloured, under the eaves, etc, etc) means we get them all winter.

I detest City Traders

Lokki: Good morning Antoine, do you have time for a couple of prices?
Charming French chap: I do not want to speak to any English people TODAY!! *click as phone line goes dead*

Recruiment agencies.

Bastards, the lot of them. Recently been job hunting, and they've got right on my tits. They cant seem to do somthing as simple as read your CV and so send you jobs that arnt remotely close to your skills. If i can program SQL id have it on my f***ing CV wouldnt i? Or they'll just edit your CV so you look a right tit in the interview as you dont know about stuff thats on "your" CV.

Then after an interview they want a full debriefing the second your out of the place, yet cant be arsed to give you any feedback if your not successfull. Thanks, your a great help.

Then when you *do* get a job offer, but your not sure about it, they start pitching what salary you could be on in a year or two if you take this fantastic oppurtunity? Eh? I after a job NOW not looking for what i'll be doing in 2 years time. Oh, and if the job is so great and going to be so great in 12 months, why dont they take the role instead of dicking about on half the salary trying to pimp me?

That's how I'd have started off this thread if I could have been arsed. As a general rule, they are f***ing shit.
