Payroll pros still insisting they are fun

September 23, 2009

Guru has blogged before about the Institute of Payroll Professionals and its forlorn task of attempting to get anyone other than payroll people interested in payroll.

Well the IPP held its annual shindig earlier this month at Alton Towers theme park (look how fun we are!), which included the mandatory awards ceremony.

The Caribbean-themed dinner included an "authentic" hog roast followed by entertainment from a steel drum band and limbo dancers. And who did the IPP get to host this gala evening? Someone with strong links to the Caribbean or a hot new stand-up comedian ready to bring the house down?

No, it was Roy Walker from ITV gameshow Catchphrase - last seen on TV about 10 years ago. It's good, but it's not right, guys.

In honour of that once great gameshow, Guru has scoured YouTube for this classic clip.
