It reminds me of some of his original outings where he used to mentally torture uni/college students to death to get rid of them, will the lusers never learn!!!!

Mines the one with the blackmail evidence in the inside pocket( a copy of course the originals are safe)

NOW, it feels like friday!

Next on my agenda...

But what's wrong with the financial ticker system!! I need closure!!

Good episode though - love it as ever :-)

Ahh BOFH imitates reality once again. Users always insist they've not changed anything... except possibly installing certain Vodafone USB modem drivers...

There may have been no on page fatalities but this was BOFH at his insidious best

Had me laughing all the way through (again)! Thanks Simon!

Friday just isn’t the same without the BOFH. Another literary masterpiece

Now THAT inspired a much needed laugh. HAPPY WEEKEND MATES!!

Ours don't even ring

Faster, Simon, Faster

Beers, cos I'v ebeen in the pub already, hic!

Now I feel like the weekend's begun.

... tho' you owe me a keyboard now, managed to miss the screen this time. :-D

They seem to have taken on the theme of man's best^H^H^H^H just good friend.

Just like old times. Now all we need is for Viz to be as funny as it used to be and all's well in the universe.

A pint for Simon !

I needed this to survive what is otherwise turning out to be the dullest Friday in the history of mankind.

Cheers Simon, as enjoyable as ever!

You owe my company ANOTHER new keyboard

It's still mid-morning here in the USA but this made my day! Happy (belated) Canada Day to my neighbors to the north, Happy Independence Day to all us Americans, and everybody else have a great weekend as well! Thanks Simon!

on the same day i get my net back....Virgin i'm looking at you....We get BOFH too.....Must be God's Work

Nice reference to Michael Jackson (R.I.P.) in the title.

A fitting homage to the late great artist.

"The doggone girl is mine..."

just what I needed before heading off to bed (it's late here in the antipodes)

"O that is what's done it. Okay I'll just reverse what it is I have done." <Click>

That should get an emergency response from BOFH

There is some truth in this though, i get more calls on a friday pm than any other time. all trivial. or theyve had the problem all week. and they all suddenly NEED it sorted by the weekend. grrr

So how low can you get?

A Chihuahua but it hurts my knees.

Absolutely brilliant. And I'm even getting used to this monthly schedule.

Splendid! That's the sort of BOFH that makes my Fridays!

Genius!

Best one this year. Just one thing though: a Java applet for a news ticker? Shouldn't that be JavaScript with AJAX?

... how long until someone releases a Win32.CanineHerpes Trojan?

I had to be somewhere five minutes ago, and now I am late because I just had to read this. bastards.

Classic BOFH! Not to mention, this sounds like something me and my fellow co-workers did at a previous job.

it's being sold by the beast of redmond as "windows 7" , and you'll even pay to get infected! escape key, because you can't......

"What do you mean, different browser?"

Gads, I reflexively asked "Did you double click the blue 'e' or the white 'N' to get online?" as I read this (some demons will never be purged) ... clearly need more beer ... and a pint for that Simon chap down the bar for serving lusers up properly. :D

Why state the glaringly obvious. This is totally normal helpline procedure from my observation, not limited to Fiday afternoons.

Didn't get to see this on Friday but brilliant as always Simon. BTW yes this is normal helldesk procedure and not limited to Friday afternoons.
