La coupe du monde s'invite chez GE Money

GE Money parfois ce n’est pas si austère qu’on pourrait le croire. Des qu’un match de rugby pointe le bout de son nez c’est l’effervescence. On avait déjà eu droit a une maquilleuse professionnelle pour nous peinturlurer le visage lors d’un affrontement OZ-NZ.

Mais c’était petit joueur… A partir de demain pour la coupe du monde chaque département doit représenter un pays participant. Et quand je dis représenter c’est pas juste "voilà nous on fait le Portugal" (parce que oui lors du tirage au sort notre département a écopé du Portugal…), non non, c’est décorer le département aux couleurs du pays, s’habiller en patriote les vendredi (seulement les vendredi le reste du temps on retourne a l'austère moche), faire des morning tea composés de met traditionnels et bien sur jouer au supporter. Pour couronner le tout il y aura un concours et le département qui aura le mieux joue le jeu gagnera un morning tea. J’essayerai de prendre des photos.

En anglais dans le texte ca donne:

Unless you have been in hiding, you'll know that the Rugby World Cup kicks off this weekend. We will be having a number of competitions through the course of the competition - and it starts this week.

A Question of Bull
Don't forget we have with a rugby quiz at Federal Street on Thursday (12.30pm start). Broadcasting legend Phillip Leishman will be our quizmaster as 6 of our employees pit their knowledge of rugby trivia against ex-All Black Mark "Bull" Allen (spectators welcome!)

Inter department competition
To promote some good old fashioned team rivalry, we've allocated a competing nation to each part of the business. We want you to show your support for that country by dressing up your area (and yourself) for the duration of the tournament. See the table below to find out which nation you are!

On Friday we'll have the first of our country themed competitions - starting with an area decoration competition. A scrumptious morning tea is up for grabs, and judging will take place on Friday afternoon!

The draw!
Teams were drawn randomly from a hat (with the All Blacks omitted for obvious reasons!) Your country to support is:
