Try being a biker.

@Ascylto

I've got a note from my mum excusing me from PE.

@AC 15:37

Not your age at all.

Could be the fact you're wearing a Buzby...

Oh FFS

The first suit that asks for it here will get this post icon where the sun shineth not.

Proof indeed

Shit happens.

Is...

Three backs ok?

It's not just the big companies

As a semi-pro musician, I (and the rest of my band) have a fair bit of radio equipment (mics, guitar radio packs and the like). We will have to throw perfectly good kit in the bin and as far as I can tell, we will get diddley-squat in terms of compensation.

It's only the more up to date kit that can be "re-tuned". All our old stuff is fixed.

Oddness

Went round to a mate's house last night to look at a Windows XP box that was having trouble.

Date on that was 2016 as well.

Mind you, it was virus-laden.

Paris, because she hasn't got a clue either.

@whoever

Some of you really don't get the "Bootnotes" bit, do you?

@Mat

I read that as root imbruglia and though,, "well, you would, wouldn't you..."

@Bilgepipe

WHS?

They're a perfectly respectable source for books, magazines and stationery. Why the beef?

COFEE? TEA?

Please make sure you join COCOA - Campaign Outlawing Contrived/Outrageous Acronyms.

God's little joke...

Surely that's the one along the lines of...

St Peter (to God): You must truly love the Welsh, look at the wonderful country you gave them.

God: Yes, but they're really going to be pissed off about their next door neighbours.

@Annihilator

You don't say? I'd never have guessed...

Stting the bleeding obvious....

English - Bear Grylls.

Canadian - Grills Bears.

Pah!

I intend to live for ever, just out of spite towards the people who find me annoying.

"How is it that the author thinks a ruling in a Australian court on copyright enforcement will have implications worldwide? Australian laws apply in Australia, not the world".

Australian lawyers obviously think they're American.

@Mostor Astrakan

This post has been ROT-13 encoded twice. That obviously makes it *doubly* secure.

Does this sound familiar?

User: "There's a message on my screen saying Z"

IT: "There's no such message, what does it really say?"

User: "I don't understand it"

IT: "That's ok, I just need you to read me the full message"

User: "Ok, it says Y"

IT: "Ok, what did you do prior to that?"

User: "Nothing"

IT: "That's strange, because you can only get a message saying Y if the computer asks you question X and you click OK"

User: "I didn't get any message"

IT: "Ok, let me have a look"

User: "Oh, I might have got a message"

IT: "And you clicked OK?"

User: "I haven't got time to read these messages, I just need to get on with work, so I clicked on some stuff"

IT: "Ok, I've sorted that for you, but next time you get a message you don't expect, ring us then and we can talk you through it"

User: "Ok"

Two days later...

User: "There's a message on my screen saying Z"...

While we're at it...

I'm sure half those 'bikers' were really just motorcyclists...

Cat ->pigeons.

"Anyway, all this will do is to make people destroy the IMEI label on the phone. Not having an IMEI sticker is not a crime so the police will not be able to proudly demonstrate phone recovery statistics for very long."

It might not be now, but give it a week...

@Tone

The link says...

"To reestablish syncing, have your Exchange Server administrator change the mailbox policy to no longer require device encryption."

That's gonna be a bit of a swine for anyone that's FSA regulated.

@HFoster

Problem Resides In Car, 'K ?

@Peter Ford

So you'll be quite happy with the fact that I have forcibly removed a cyclist from his bike after he ran into me on the pavement on three successive days?

No?

Anyone on/in any vehicle being a dick deserves to be treated as such. There aren't any saints in this argument.

Prince Of Darkness?

I can't see any reference to Ozzy anywhere...
