The 8 Bit Trip (AMAZING!)

Excel­lent video! Share on Facebook

Sir, can you step out of the car please.

Some­thing dif­fer­ent hap­pened to me on Fri­day. Hav­ing just arrived at home from work, I was still sit­ting in the car, wait­ing for the song on the radio to fin­ish and to make good use of the time I was col­lect­ing the park­ing receipts and other bits of paper scat­tered around the car. As I was […]

A good oldie : The case of the 500 miles email

As I am tidy­ing up my home direc­tory, I found this old gem that I saved to keep me amused on a rainy day, the blog is as good place to pub­lish it as any. ——- Sub­ject: The case of the 500-mile email.

Prince2

I am doing Prince2 Course, while I like the way it thinks about projects, ini­ti­a­tion, deliv­ery and follow-up I can’t help think­ing it’s the cause why MANY projects espe­cially in the pub­lic sec­tor cost so much. I always think of projects hav­ing a life of their own (True) but Prince2 has the poten­tial to cre­ate a […]

Why you should not talk about work on Facebook

.….. while you’re friends with your boss If you’re not con­vinced, here is why UPDATE Alan posted this link from the BBC http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/essex/7914415.stm The girl is a much big­ger moron than I though, she needs to learn her les­son, the hard way. Share on Facebook

The flying sheep!

So how do you get a sheep up a power line? The answer is easy. Just look at the pic­ture above From the lit­tle I man­aged to under­stand from google trans­la­tion the story goes. The sheep got stuck on the power line fur­ther up the hill, where the sheep graze and  the wire is closer to the […]

Kids are quick (Jokes)

I received these in an email, for com­edy value I am post­ing it here TEACHER: Maria, go to the map and find North Amer­ica . MARIA: Here it is. TEACHER: Cor­rect. Now class, who dis­cov­ered Amer­ica ? CLASS: Maria. ____________________________________ TEACHER: John, why are you doing your math mul­ti­pli­ca­tion on the floor? JOHN: You told […]

Edinburgh’s Fringe Strangest Venues

Now that Edin­burgh fringe fes­ti­val is about to start, the city is full of fresh hope­fuls, with their bright eyes enjoy­ing the glitz and glam­our a fes­ti­val brings. Only a hand­ful will come back next year, I love the naïve view that they have, think­ing that the city has not seen any­thing like them before […]

Big issue and LBS

Saw some­thing that I found really amus­ing today. A big issue reseller using a Lon­don Busi­ness School bag to sell the mag­a­zine out­side a super­mar­ket. Looks like MBAs aren’t that much in demand any­more PS. Yes I did buy a copy. –RW Share on Facebook

Royal mail

Looks like this may be the begin­ning of the end for Royal Mail. Work­force stuck in the 70s are repeat­edly shoot­ing them­selves in the foot. I doubt there is any pub­lic sym­pa­thy to those work­shy lazy ***********. I doubt they’re smart enough to actu­ally realise what they’ve started. Royal Mail is los­ing money: Fact. Most peo­ple didn’t […]
