congestion charge 

Road toll scheme in Central London, implemented by 'Red Ken' Livingstone. Drivers entering the central zone must pay £8 per day (up from £5 at its introduction in 2003) or risk a heavy fine and/or impound of their vehicle.
The charge operates on weekdays from 7:00AM to 6:30PM. Electric vehicles and buses are exempt (along with other exemptions).
The system is enforced by ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) CCTV cameras on all roads entering the zone. Motorists pay by giving their car number plate details at the counter of an appropriate petrol station or shop.
The zone is due to be extended soon, doubling its size.
Needless the say, the scheme is unpopular with motorists, although London has relatively low rates of car ownership in relation to the rest of the UK, or the US.
Plans for similar schemes in other UK cities are currently on hold.
High-profile opponents to the scheme include Madonna and the Evening Standard newspaper.

Drunk in charge of social software 

To be Drunk in charge Of Social Software; to think that it is a good idea to text,email,IM,blog your mates late at night after a surprise drinking session when it probably isn't.

Still I need a button on my mobile phone which says:

'Caution: Drunk in charge of social software. Do you really want to send that text?.. It's 01:30 am and you have just left a pub after a five hour surprise drink up on an empty tummy, are very over-excited and your friend may think you're a bit weird (again)..'

Nick: Oh thank you David, I won't let you down.
*Comes back a week later to riots and madness*
David: WTF

chief prick in charge

Delusional, unqualified, self-important C-level executive of a pretend company who prides himself on always being the smartest person in a room full of brainless peons.
Can you believe he just got promoted to Chief Prick in Charge despite his unimpressive skill set?
