    Are you sure it's definitely the right spelling? Or are you defiantly ignoring the dictionary?

      Funnily enough my little step princess made a dutch apple cake last night. I only managed a dutch oven but was rewarded with the comment:

      "You will die a sad lonely old man".

      The Mrs holds out more hope for me than my GP at least.

    No, the computer didn't eat your work, you've just had a filing accident.

      Assuming she's not underneath the slabs.....

    2. eastwestdivide

      eastwestdivide

      Now, now. Laying the slabs made me happy, and the proper term for each other round here is "worthy adversary"

      You need to compare notes with "81C"...

    Run out of work - need to find something to do instead of hoovering.

    1. Horsetan

      Horsetan

      How about mopping up the dust kicked up by the hoover?

    The polar 1960s slide scanning project has reached Hercules planes landing in Antarctica

      I didn't know that Poirot had got that far, nor that he was an airline entrepreneur.

      The facial hair in these shots is much more unkempt than Poirot's

      why is it made from cork - to insulate from the sound of all the other buzzwords

    3. Huw Griffiths

      Huw Griffiths

      I suspect a lot of job applicants are even more fed up of having to include all these buzzwords, in the forlorn hope that HR might even allow their application forms to be seen by anyone involved in recruiting. Some hope!

    4. 60159

      60159

      I detest all these meaningless HR/recruitment buzzwords - all that matters is can you do the job and will you fit in with your colleagues. I would not recruit someone who listed their "core competences" as such

    A random stranger in the street just told me to "stop looking like my doctor!" as they nearly greeted me.

    Slide scanning has now moved on to men in beards eating Ritz crackers in tents in Antarctica (I think) in 1962

      Any sign of foxes on those glaciers?

    3. Trog

      They knew how to live in the 1960's.

    4. eastwestdivide

      eastwestdivide

      No sign of foxes - the slides aren't in mint condition.

      What goes black & white, black & white, black & white, black & white?

      But pointy at one end?????

    4. eastwestdivide

      eastwestdivide

      Yes, pointy at one end, the beak. Real penguins. The slides have now moved on to men in beards eating in tents in 1962

    BBC TV red button currently a strangely hypnotic mix of Planet Earth footage with trippy/ambient/electronic/dub music over the top

      What does that mean?

    2. eastwestdivide

      eastwestdivide

      Literally, a form of baroque musical composition, based on a dance. Bach made a couple of decent ones. The question on the status update is "what's on your mind?", so that what was on my mind as I'd just listened to one.

    3. Captain Kernow

      Captain Kernow

      How civilised. I must have listened to this kind of thing as well and liked it, just didn't realise what the proper name was!

  21. eastwestdivide

    Rainy out, incoming work delayed, any suggestions to avoid doing the hoovering?
