I heard the term omnishambles first in The Thick of It a few years ago.  I always thought it a bit pretentious and unusable in real life but, well, today I've spent the entire day fixing an omnishambles of a team.  That's the polite way to put it.  The less polite ways would be censored on this board.

Does it begin with cluster?

Does it begin with cluster?

Yes.  But then the second part usually requires some competence unless you're sticking it in the wrong hole by accident.

"By accident"

Yeah right

I think I've received the largest in size presentation in my life so far just now.  1.4GB in size because they embedded the videos...

Did anyone else notice that coverage of the war in Iraq disappeared from all Western media about 6 weeks ago? ISIS still holds Mosul, half of Fallujah and the main roads from Iraq into north- and central-western Syria.

It was a RFU presentation on nuances.  Just nuances.  There was nothing subtle about it.

I hope the video was filled with scrums and none of that try scoring nonsense?

West Virginia lawmakers suffer stomach illness after drinking raw milk to celebrate legalising the drinking of raw milk.

[Farmduck]

Nothing wrong with raw milk. When I was a kid the guy who pumped it out of the cow also delivered it to your house. No bottles, you just left a saucepan next to the letter box and he filled it up. You could watch the entire process from grass to home because his cows grazed at the local swimming hole at Mungabareena.

I was driving along just before lunchtime today and was stuck in an annoying stopped bit of traffic on the A12.  I had Ken Bruce on Radio 2 on and he played The Carpenters' Top of the World.  For some reason, the traffic just melted away as it started playing, I was able to put the cruise control on at 70mph on nearly clear roads.  The song finished and within a couple of seconds the traffic just seized up again and it was abysmal traffic for the rest of the journey.
