I parked as best I could next to someone who had done an awful job of it. That person left and now it looks like I don't know how to park

Ha. I once got a note on my windscreen saying "nice parking, asshole" in a company carpark. Thing was, there were just two spaces, one against a wall on driver's side, and one open on passenger side. He'd parked a good 50cm into the space, leaving the driver's door dead on the white line, so the only way the other space could possibly be used was by blocking his door and making him climb across from the passenger side. Wtf did he expect?

I can't add a new Quinoa recipe as the thread became too politicized and was closed. oh well off to the beach for a swim now...

By the time I get hungry I don't care about all the ecolo/recycled/hipster containers I eat and drink from, when I am on the go. Meh.

You might have to shout while you're on the phone with them - when the weather gets like this the entire IT department finds something in the server room which needs their attention, so when they pick up the phone the noise of the A/C in the background may make it hard for them to hear you.

When I ran a computer centre then in hot weather I always finished up being the idiot on the roof spraying the a/c condensers with a hosepipe

The dramatic pauses before announcing the right answer or a winner have gone beyond 5 seconds! Or they even cut to commercials! Oh for ... Sake...
Half of 30 mins are now the proverbial drumrolls...

BBC's Pointless is a rare exception though...

A thread about quinoa was closed? Crikey...

Ah. I see.

I've had the BBC News channel on in the background for four hours now, and I'm actually starting to believe what these politicians are saying.

Must. Turn. Over. (Before it's too late and there's no turning back)

Who let Ed Miliband out? He's live now playing DJ and doing a current affairs natter thingy on radio 2

No escape.. they're everywhere.

My mother sent me a text telling me how hot it is in the UK. Well, I wasn't having that. So we've just spent the last half hour in 'Yorkshire-Men Sketch' fashion trying to one-up each other on who is the most hard done-by.

"32 degrees?! I used to dream of 32 degrees!"

The IT person's perspective of that:

1. The phone is ringing non-stop with calls from people you don't know, and you're not authorised to let strangers in.
2. Retreat to far end of computer room where you can't hear the phone.

Try this tapping method...it has worked for some people I know.

How does this work?

My 48 hour anti-perspirant is letting itself down by 47 hours and 57 minutes.

The compressor in my air conditioner keeps turning on and it is hard to hear the TV over this racket!

Teehee. That was a problem I encountered about 30 years ago in Africa

This doesn't really class as a First World Problem

Did you volunteer for the tapping?



I saw some Math geeks feeding on mentos (mentoses?) the entire day today at the EPFL. I have no mentos!
