Hysteresis

As one that used to work from home it used to make me chuckle twice a year, the first cold days and the first hot days when the email went out from the facilities team to say they they were aware that the office was rather cold/hot and the HVAC engineer had been called out to wield the golden spanner to rectify the situation.

In my current place of work we occupy a mature building, where the temperature of two floors with four distinct office spaces is regulated by a single thermostat at one end of the office. Us mortals have been forbidden from turning it down/up to allow us to reach an ideal temperature. We have to coax the radiators to try and produce more heat or open the windows to reduce the temperature.

Southampton has/had three Games and a Gamestation in the centre of town within a very short walk. I wonder which if any they will chose to keep: the one in the prime retail location (high rent shopping centre), the one on the high street, the one on the side street off one end of the high street or the one in the oh so 80s shopping centre that has more tumble weed than punters.

If there is no tax liability in India but a capital gain has been made where does the liability fall? Perhaps the UN should start collecting extra territorial tax revenue and use it to make up the shortfall from the donor nations.

Forget the Baals

The descendants of Hr Wanker aren't afraid of puerile comments. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Wankers_Corner,_Oregon I think he set up the original country store as a newly arrived settler having reached the end of the Oregon trail.
