Is there anything in the world more annoying than this sort of exchange?
Someone: "Is your boss about?"
Me: "No, he's off sick"
Someone: "When's he due back?"
Me (thinks): "How the fuck should I know? I'm not his fucking doctor!" |

Why is it.........
...........that every time I think we're just about to drag ourselves out of the pit of being constantly hugely overdrawn, something falls off the house or my car? |

Sleeping bags, anyone......?
My pest of a brother and his fiancée are crashing at our place on Friday evening and he's just texted to inform me that they're not planning on bringing any bedding with them. Would anyone have a couple of sleeping bags they'd be prepared to lend me? |

You gotta love the IT department......
....when they tell you that the reason why the system is running so slowly that I'm on the verge of throwing my PC out the window is because people are using it, and that the best way to get it to run more eficiently is to not use it. Twats.

Something new I learnt today
Anyone remember early 1990s "controversial" (i.e. annoying) BRMB disc jockey "Jezza"? Did you know it was the future champion of daytime TV chav-baiting Jeremy Kyle.....?

Quick quiz
You are a major manufacturing company's IT department, and you notice that a job that one employee is running is snarling up the whole company-wide mainframe. Do you:
a) At the earliest opportunity go and ask the employee to abandon the job and maybe re-run it later
b) Sit in your office moaning about the negative impact on other people's work for over four hours, then go downstairs and have a massive go at the employee involved for having caused problems all morning
I'll allow you to draw your own conclusions as to what the procedure appears to be at my place of work....... |

In memory of Edwards No 8 Anyone with fond memories of Edwards may be interested in this YouTube video. And see if you can spot my wife! :-) When Vic mentioned this to her parents and used the words "Edwards No 8" Dylan piped up with "No mummy, Edward's number 2!! Duck's number 8!!!!!!"

LARP/comedy crossover, might be of interest to some people
A new show started in ITV1 last night called "Tough Gig", in which a comedian goes and spends some time with a "minority subculture" and then at the end of their stay has to perform a stand-up routine to the group based on their experiences with them. Judging from the clips in the opening sequence one of the later shows in the series features Dara O Briain performing to a group of LARPers. Dunno which episode it will be, but might be worth keeping an eye out for on Tuesdays at 10pm......?
