This made me chuckle, a few classic high profile resignations, Dave Lee Travis is still my all time favourite, quitting live on air

"The way someone leaves a job can affect their career forever.

When some resign they leave with their heads hung in shame, for others it's a moment of defiance, and there are those who acknowledge that they have done wrong and leave quietly.

Some are seen to have waited too long...."
How do you have an honourable resignation?

Sometimes its good to go with a bang, but you have to think about the bridges you're burning ahead of you. People talk, and if you are a well known person, always in the news etc. people would probably be less likely to hire you because of what you have done.

IT was funny though. Was a good read.

I have had a few staff storm out, but fortunately they didn't work directly for me. I like a bit of drama in the workplace ads to the spice of things.

She was selling engagement rings when she turned to the camera and told McKenna she was leaving him. Then, as she closed the bidding on one item, she said:

Dangerous upsetting a hypnotist, imagine it, then he said the magic trigger word that he planted ages ago, and she spent the rest of her life running round thinking she was a monkey
