Working in a Uni in the UK a 'few' years back...

When I worked in a uni, my boss didn't want us called IT any more, so we sat around trying to think of a new title for us. Various names were bandied about and I Suggested "Computer Users Network Technical Specialists"

My boss at the time loved the title and wanted it painted on the door immediately, but unfortunately a junior of mine (a rather attractive young lady) said 'No Roy, no way am I going into an office with him and saying "Hello we are a pair of C#NTS"

Strange - the meeting got broken up and we remained as the IT department

Wow! how I remember that telytype machine with acoustic coupler to the polytechnic

I remember it fondly as it got me out of writing a few thousand lines for a geography teacher

a few lines of basic and 1/2 a role of paper

Lines done...

somehow I dont my kids could get away with that now...

'An' IT Manager

So the question being....

1. Why did we only send one IT 'Manager' aloft

2. Why on earth wasn't it my manager?

3. Why didn't I have a rifle to pop the balloons...

First Irishman in space? That's got to be wrong...

I swear that was Mr Leary at No.8 who tried to repair his gas cooker...
