Nice now I wonder if the lifts will be working correctly as the HR heavyweights leave the meeting
BOFH: Santa, bloody Santa
"HE PUNCHED HIM IN THE FACE!" the Director shouts, gesturing both wildly and furiously at the absent PFY's desk. "Well yes," I say calmly, "but let's be reasonable about this - he WAS asking for it."

Not that this post is purely an exercise in pedantry, and does not necessarily reflect my preferences on the final state of said "truffle womble".

Wonderful, just great
some-one else shares my loathing of Xmas and its tedious, irritating cultural relics. Well done Simon. Most enjoyable, especially "truffle wombles". What is the origin of that pejorative ? I think I have met a few. Enough truffles grown locally, rhapsodised about by wannabe food critics/snobs.

an ACTUAL conversation I had yesterday:
boss: "my computer is being weird, the mouse is flickering all over the place, d'you think it's a Mac thing?"
me: "definitely a mac thing"
boss: "but it's brand new"
me: "doesn't matter, it's definitely a mac thing"
/in my head/
boss: "what are you doing?"
me: "did you know that the Siemens main power switch technical drawings are freely available online? And did you know that your office employs such a one?"
