Good wine needs no bush.

This guy needs a whole forest not one vine.

And still no one would notice him for the right reason.

As for being noticed for the wrong reason: “Oremus” let us pray.

In reply to andrew.

No, technically it should be “my team and I” as this is the subject of the sentence – me is the object form. However, it is pedantic to point it out.

[Daphne – I’m afraid Andrew is right and you are wrong. Whenever you can’t decide whether you should use ‘I’ or ‘me’, don’t bother with all that subject and object tosh because it’s too easy to get them wrong. Just use the simple expedient of removing the third party and seeing whether ‘I’ or ‘me’ makes sense. He’s right: that’s exactly the way to do it.

Managed by my team and I – WRONG, because ‘managed by I’ is wrong
Managed by my team and me – CORRECT, because ‘managed by me’ is correct

My friend and I would like to give you a present – CORRECT, because ‘I would like to give you a present’ is correct
My friend and me would like to give you a present – WRONG, because ‘Me would like to give you a present’ is wrong ]

In reply to Lizz.

I don’t think that is wrong. But I stand to be corrected.

‘managed by me and my team’
‘managed by my team and me’

are both correct (I think)

‘managed by my team and I’
incorrect I believe. if you shorten the sentence to ‘managed by I’, it doesn’t make sense.

it would have to be ‘my team and I manage this account’

He’s going on a trip. Mr. Vella doesn’t seem to be working that hard.

‘Me and my team’.

The first grammatical error we’re taught to avoid in primary school.
