what can i say? great as usual!
Posted Friday 27th March 2009 13:02 GMT
It's been a few weeks, but worth the wait!
Cheers Simon!

Though I was thinking of blackmail to get some money in before moving to the public humiliation...
Still - Fine work!

The BOFH *and* the PF(not-so-anymore)Y working in unison to bring the downfall of not one but two bosses at the same time.
Brilliant.
Thanks Simon, I'll send over the invoice for a new kibo shortly.

After all our nagging there is another episode quicker than a month but am i the only one thinking its not THAT funny?
Watching Martin Johnson in Ireland - England in the past 6nations now THAT was funny... The guy is a standup comedian!

This installment of BOFH is teh win. Best I've seen in a while. Good work, keep it up.
Posted Friday 27th March 2009 13:03 GMT
though i definitely enjoyed most of last year's episodes, this year is turning out even better. if this is a sample of what we're going to get this year, then it'll be a fantastic year for sure.
go Simon!

first one to actually make me laugh out loud for months..much needed today,thanks Simon :D
Posted Friday 27th March 2009 13:03 GMT
Nice work Simon.
All sorts of mind pictures created by "leek fetish"......
Posted Friday 27th March 2009 13:03 GMT
Very well written, worth the wait, but any chance of more BOFH?
Posted Friday 27th March 2009 13:03 GMT
The management would like to reassure you that your nagging is almost never taken into consideration when editorial decisions are being made.
Posted Friday 27th March 2009 13:11 GMT
Brilliant stuff from the BOFH. Obviously missing a good "fatal user error" although maybe one will result when the Director finds out...
Well done, another solid and amusing BOFH tale :)
Posted Friday 27th March 2009 13:34 GMT
That was laugh out loud funny - as in it made me actually laugh out loud, not just the "mildly amusing" which people usually mean by "laugh out loud funny".
Thanks,
and keep it up!

BOFH goes Web2.0. Guess that's the modern version of installing a hacked login script into user accounts - except getting creative with Facebook is (still) legal ;-)
But i have to admit, it doesn't beat stories like getting the user to put his pot plant ontop of his computer, connect to to the neon lights and water it real good.
Or have to user move the emergency exit signs away from the door and then turn off the lights and sound the fire alarm.

Nothing like a little cyber-sabotage to ones reputation!!
Not to mention TWO BOFH's in a month... things are indeed looking better!
Paris, because she knows all about cyber-reputations!
Posted Friday 27th March 2009 13:36 GMT
social network my rear, as well as the joy of seeing the boss unemployed or even better throughly humiliated
Posted Friday 27th March 2009 13:36 GMT
and I needed that. A vintage episode.
Posted Friday 27th March 2009 13:36 GMT
Thanks Simon, excellent work yet again, cant wait to see more BOFH Carnage!!!
Now where is my bag of lime, spade and roll of old carpet, new boss and all.
Posted Friday 27th March 2009 13:36 GMT
And truly elegant! Fantastic episode!
I think Rule #1 is don't drink coffee while reading this year's BOFH episodes.
Being an ordinary bloke from Bristol, makes me wonder if the PFY wasn't taking over established profiles too.. Would explain the tweaks on my FB profile!
Mine's the one with the PFY's little black book in the pocket.
Posted Friday 27th March 2009 13:36 GMT
.. that it's not just me that's fallen for those devious scoundrels on facebook
Posted Friday 27th March 2009 13:38 GMT
... are all the above comments from your different persona, Simon ?
Posted Friday 27th March 2009 15:31 GMT
OMG! Two episodes in less than 4 weeks? What's the world coming to??? I'm happy to see another episode... and the PHB (to steal a term from Dilbert) is getting his! Seems like the BOFH and the PFY Ride Again! Just like old times. Now, here's hoping for another episode in less than a month!
Posted Friday 27th March 2009 15:31 GMT
plotted, scripted, and paced.
While my keyboard remains coffee-free, I did chuckle quite audibly.
Thanks, Simon, for an elegant romp.

I'm Simon and so's my wife, plus my brother-in law is the ex-mayor of god!

Just this week, our company president has become entranced by Web 2.0 and "social networking." Imagine my pleasure at finding your helpful tips this morning. I'm eagerly awaiting your user guide re Twitter.

It's nice to see the boss doesn't have to die every time. Loved it. Humiliation is SOOOO much better than Quicklime and a tape safe.

Nick said: That was laugh out loud funny - as in it made me actually laugh out loud, not just the "mildly amusing" which people usually mean by "laugh out loud funny".
Nick, your comment was "cackle out loud funny". As in, I read your comment, and I really did cackle. I don't know what anyone who has used that in any other context, and there's only a thousand Google results for "cackle out loud" (quoted), but whatever they mean, I probably didn't mean it.
Posted Friday 27th March 2009 16:56 GMT
There are only three real people on Facebook, and I'm not one of them.
Neither is Paris.
Posted Friday 27th March 2009 16:56 GMT
I should know better than to be eating or drinking anything during BOFH. Dammit, man!
Posted Friday 27th March 2009 16:56 GMT
I fooking knew that the BOFH and the PFY would not only be able to game the web 2.0 crowd to a masterful degree, but arrange the downfall of at least one manager in the process. Absolutely brilliant Simon thank you for making my Friday.

"After all our nagging there is another episode quicker than a month but am i the only one thinking its not THAT funny?"
Yes

According to my Anglo - American Dictionary:
Slapper (n): Similar to "Trailer Trash". One with tooooooo much make-up. As in slaps it on with a trowel.

"The management would like to reassure you that your nagging is almost never taken into consideration when editorial decisions are being made. "
Now you've done it. By saying "almost", you've given the enemy the one thing you never should - Hope.
Report to the computer room for reprogamming, the cattleprod is almost charged.

"...He'll meet someone as Candice or Lord Peter and use her/him to introduce all the other personalities, finally organising a date as Jerry."
This should be taught in schools, you know. What better way to warn naive youths of the dangers of the internet than to introduce them to the PFY?

I'm no "limey" but I'll give it a shot here. Use the syntax. Clearly, a "slapper"is a woman with a "morally-casual attitude" (I love that phrase) and quite low standards when it comes to male companionship. You know...the woman who thinks "acting ladylike" is just too much bother. Often seen in minimalist attire in and around nightspots.

its been a hard stretch lately.
Simon, thanks for the first good laugh in 2 weeks
