Carnforth High 

Carnforth High School is a shit show, yr11s are a fucking crease and you’ll probably get a sponge cake smacked in your face. Most of us “students” are in the toilets at break and lunch using our E-cigs to make ourselves look superior to the rest of the school, the teachers chat shit out there arse and if your depressed then your pretty much fucked cos no one will give a fuck. Everyone’s got beef and you’ll probably get asked by about 6 different yr7s if you’ve got a cig. Most the girls look fake as fuck and wear a foundation thats 3 shades darker than what they are. Lads are fucking dickheads and there’s probably a few diseases being past round to the thots and fuck boys of the school. Overall the school is just a pile of wank where you’ll leave as a drug addict and maybe a couple of gcses. Kids Probably sniff Ket of the toilet seats as well.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
