    I know I'm an old fart, but can anyone explain what Networking actually means, Is it just telling people what's happened or going to happen?

    Networking is when you stand around talking for ages doing **** all, and used to go by the term of "Tossing it off"

    In my experience, networking generally means going to the pub.

    Networking means bringing different parties or elements together - like a rail network connects two cities.

    If someone is in the room to act in a Networking capacity - it suggests it's very early talks.

    Obviously, have you never played FIFA with a few mates and drinking rules? Guaranteed to end brilliantly (or badly, depending on your point of view).

    Networking is the excuse you use when you've over-battered the Company plastic.

    It might be something simple like a new sponsorship such as China Palace West Stand?

    That doesnt sound like he's there networking then, it sounds like he's facilitating the deal.

    I ask my Mrs if she'll want anything to eat. Her response is always 'No'. Then when I have food she proceeds to tuck in (note not tuckin) which I find ****ing irritating. I'm surprised there aren't more fork related injuries.
