ckn Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I'm putting this here because it clearly is unimportant and trivial to the great and good. I accept the judgement of my betters and relegate it accordingly: Iceland jailed the 25th and 26th bankers yesterday over their involvement in the 2008 banking collapses. So far, the total for the 26 bankers jailed is 74 years. More prosecutions are underway. Oh, and Iceland are in quite good financial health and don't have an "austerity" programme despite being one of the worst impacted countries in 2008.

ckn Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 With the exception of the canteen ladies who served me coffee this morning, I've not spoken to a single person yet today despite being in the office for just over two hours. Ahhh, the peace of actually being able to get on with work. Having a 5 minute break now, normally I'd go out and talk to the minions but I'll just enjoy the silence.

ckn Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I just received an Incident text for the NHS. I only saw it partly. I thought it said "Multiple users across multiple sites are unable to get Chlamydia". My brain self-replied "That's alright then, I bet they're glad". The text screen only showed the first part of the message, the rest of the message was "database by any means" "When in deadly danger, when beset by doubt; run in little circles, wave your arms and shout" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futtocks Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 As a child, the wrestler Andre the Giant was regularly driven to school by the playwright Samuel Beckett. During the journeys, they mainly talked about cricket. "We are easily breakable, by illness or falling, or a million other ways of leaving this earthly life. We are just so much mashed potato."
