Never really got offered a bribe

Well, leastways not that I would have recognised. Guess i was too dumb or not worth the effort. I did manage to be "gifted" a Mapper tie which had been made in limited quantities and have a few pens from a training session that light up in different colors...very entertaining...

Everywhere I have been employed the last 50 years has had very strict rules about bribes, accepting gifts of almost any value, etc. Never got offered much and never had to worry about the value (of the item or my integrity).

BOHICA

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Ah, yer takin' the piss

Reminds me of the old recording of two guys taking a leak

and the one says: "why is yours so much louder than mine"

and the other says: "I'm pissing on your briefcase"

how many kicks to the nutsack

would it take to get that scum to fix farcebook?

Beer delivery

I thought that's what the sprog were supposed to do?

so how does this work

when the knight and the lady are stacked up? Just askin'

"We sell ad space next to IT stories"

Is that why while i was at work i would always get the big ad with the slinky half-dressed babes and wonder what that had to do with IT?

This is the best part

"A UK ban on all sales of normal road vehicles has previously been announced. It will take effect in 2040"

So normal vehicles will just vanish and you'll get around by ???? Flying?

Paris and France

I was thinking more like Paris and pants...

so it's a win

hopefully they'll get a full one dollar as compensation and then be buried.

Twatspotting

Just like trainspotting before you twatsplat with the train.

CAAS, the new wonder

And the ideal place to leave your thumbdrive full of personal information about 1000's.

No more having to leave it on a bus or train. Much more entertaining!

Thank you

Love these articles about things of beauty.

is it April 1st?

I really need to see the price before i commit to a rack of these for my educational materials.

a sad story

Now if they can convince them to stop murdering off the pangolins.

Ah, the olden days

I can still recall having to decollate 6 part paper...the piles left and the rolled up carbon paper mess.

Bursting forms was another treat. I still have the scar on the back of one hand pulled into the machine.

We later one one of those fancy pants IBM guillotine "bursters" that had to have a special card programmed for each form size. Seems i recall that machine died when someone spilled a coke down into its innards. Those were the days we had to do alpha-numeric sorts on 30-40 cases of cards since the "mainframe" couldn't handle that much data (and IBM sort sucked). Cards, as you will recall, were packaged 2000 to a box and 10,000 to a case. The IBM printers all used carriage tapes and i can't recall how many of those i made up over the years. The one place I was employed even had their own ribbon re-inking machine.

legal basis

Simple; there is NO legal basis for their illegal and unconstitutional searches. Wankers

She hate me

The voice system in my neighbor's truck won't listen to me at all. I generally don't mumble and try to enunciate well using plain (American) english. it is nearly impossible to get that crappy system to listen and understand me; you would think she was my wife or something.

Try any of this where i live

And the cross traffic only considers the red to be advisory in nature.

what can possibly go wrong?

said no one, ever.

I've been voting for over 50 years

And i have to admit most of that was without ID. I could simply go in where i was registered to vote and do my thing. It was only after people got afraid of their own shadows and all the retarded political manoeuvering that i was required to actually show and ID prior to voting. Thankfully, in all those years, i have not run into anyone stupid enough to challenge my vote or try to influence me.

would be bad news for the Capita

Awwww, i feel for them. Anyone else?
