he was head of AML at barclays.

you just know any negotiations are now heading in the mind-numbingly dull minutiae

Ouch.  Mind you - if the deal us voted through Parliament, presumably all he will be responsible for is documenting it? 

No fooking way is this a real person that existed before today

barclays retail, clubbers

He'll be used to mind-numbing tasks then.  Retail banking is fooking boring as hell.

Oh, wow!  You can say fook on here now?!!

What about aunt?

even more mind numbingly dull minutiae

overseas presumably?

playing the Barclay Card there.

I was at a meeting today where someone misheard me and thought I’d described our group as “the aunt of the litter”.  

hehe
