Well, here we are in the Ned Club, home to high-fliers in the business community, at the end of a very eventful year

Hunter, you haven&#039;t come into the office for six months

Welcome to Megabank Declan. You&#039;ve been someone we&#039;ve been trying to lure over here for a while...

Many people are resisting coming back to the office because they think working from home is easier...

Hello, Tom, it&#039;s Alex. Good to see you at lunch today. I was just checking that you&#039;re okay

So, Alex, you taunted all those drivers queueing for petrol by pointedly charging your electric car?

I think you, like many people may have been working at home for too long, Peter, you&#039;ve become soft

Why thank you! How nice of you!

I don&#039;t think of myself as just a bank employee... I have a double life: by day I&#039;m like Clark Kent doing my office job...

Great to be able to meet up in the flesh, Clive. Now that the pandemic is seemingly on the wane...

Bankers are getting huge bonuses this year but they&#039;re dwarfed by when we bank directors are paying ourselves

The threat from Covid may be waning, but it looks like flexible working will now be the norm...

The cryptocurrency market is crashing and you&#039;re delighted about it, aren&#039;t you, Clive?

What do you think about the bank&#039;s new directive that getting vaxxed is mandatory?

You bankers have always been overpaid but you keep getting richer

That Sex and the City episode really damaged Peloton&#039;s image. The company&#039;s announced major cutbacks.

Wordle is the latest internet craze. It&#039;s a game where you have six guesses to uncover a hidden 5-letter word

So that&#039;s your bonus number,Clive. I&#039;m sure you&#039;ll be delighted with it
