Experiment away!

I'm off to type random crap into Farcebook and see what happens. "HAIRY LLAMAS"

Disappointing lack of ads!

Joe says sorry

He didn't realise Androids were vulnerable to old Def Leppard tracks.

"Exiting the EU would quickly diminish our role within the global business services industry,”

Would it fuck as like.

@AutomationGeek

No mate, me too.

I LIKE the fact the licence fee allows for the production of interesting but commercially unprofitable programmes like Only Connect. Yes, the bbc has its share of crappy "celebrity" programmes but do we really want it to turn into ITV?

It's all the fault of the Tories, er Labour, er, the Tories, er, Labour, er...

There's an article on this on the BBC with a comments section with everyone blaming their favourite political target.

This is not political, it's cultural. We've fundamentally and irreversibly changed the way we shop.

Forrest Knight???

Porn, and/or Mills and Boon character?

Or perhaps crappy 80s spy show hero.

Hauk sent me, we've gotta move fast.

Just wanted to get a quote in...

Obligatory EFA

UK cellphone network EE has struggled to provide a decent service to Brits since its inception.

Sweet lord I weep for our society

If waiting a few seconds for a picture causes you stress it's time to unplug.

100 quid though?

It's a lot when I can run an emulator on my laptop...

Some good old dos stuff here also:

Bluetooth will always be handy

For quick and easy point to point comms with simple devices. Playing your phone music on bluetooth speakers for instance. Sticking those speakers on wireless would just suck bandwidth for no reason.

I expect votedowns

From insecure blokes but it has been my experience that the truism that women usually have to work twice as hard to be seen as even half as good is still alive and well out there.

"As a result, the researchers suggest that overall, the women contributing code to GitHub are more competent than their male counterparts,.... Despite this, the researchers also conclude that women are still seen as less competent than men "

order prescriptions online

Er, but we already can, and by email.

I wonder if it's the same bloke

25 years ago as a student I knew a bloke who claimed, with an absolutely straight face, to be an ex-Marine and to have competed in the Tour De France. He didn't look like either.

Consultation?

I've been through redundancy twice. And every time I think what exactly am I being consulted about.

Get rid of all the fucking wretched management BOLLOCKS. You are not consulting me as I have no choice in this, staff forums are pointless and we are not on a journey together you utter waste of humanity.

Just be HONEST. You want to get rid of x% of staff. It'd be easier if some went voluntarily but at the end of the day you will be sacking that x%, yes, let's call it what it is.

Wearing a gopping great big watch when you sleep?

Er no ta.

Did you know?

Putting "Did you know" at the beginning of every sentence makes your article incredibly irritating to read?

Dead here in CV2

Fail.

Does it actually have an official name?

I see HPEat in the pictures over the canteen and I see what they did there, very clever.

So does the pub part have a name? HPArseholed?

They were not unconscious

They would have been conscious for several minutes as the crew compartment plummeted. NASA did not want this version going public in the immediate aftermath of this.

No real mates

The problem with all of these people is that they surround themselves with those who only agree with them. This is why they go mental - they don't have any real friends who would say "no, that's bollocks."

Only in America

Would you think that threatening to shoot someone would put them off hurling.

The triumvirate of American criteria. Can I shoot it, fuck it or eat it? Or can I do all three?

Idiots

I bought a cynanogenOS generic android phone in order to GET AWAY as much as possible from manufacturer forced integrated services. I do not wany ANYONE'S tat forced on me.

I have Amazon buying and Amazon music apps on my phone. These are all I want or need.

Pay peanuts, get monkeys

Public sector IT generally pays much less than private.
