I'm going away over Christmas

But, rest assured, I've got a computing project which I'm doing now, plus lots of other stuff, so hopefully that'll average out my absence

I'll probably also borg my girlfriend's PC for the team, that'll shoot us up the amount we chat

Please make sure that Fujitsu manage to complete the absurd NHS contract they've won

Nah, they subcontracted to some US company who've never done the type of work before.

But I'll still blame you anyway

Yup. There was a great Bremner Bird and Fortune sketch, interviewing a government minister:

"So, how will the new software help out doctors?"
"Well, you see, normally you go to the doctor and book an appointment.."
"uh huh..."
"...and of course you'd have to wait 3 weeks, only to be told you can't have it."
"Indeed. So...the new system?"
"The new system is far superior! A patient can go to the surgery, ask for an appointment and, almost instantaneously - the system will tell you you can't have it! Remarkable!"
"Sigh....."

Fantastic sketch...and it's so true.

This powerpoint is hilarious if you're into NHS-humour

I've no idea where "XD" came from, but a friend and myself use it in our conversations, quite possibly a higher-class more hysterical version of "lol". Either way, for me and many other IRC buddies it's a replacement for complete bellows of laughter :eek:

Edit: Oh, and never mess with someone who can RTM you

*ding ding ding*

My keycount is only high today because I've been with a very sick server for virtually half the day

Going away Sunday and I guess when I come back in the new year I'll be stomped.

They should make a PDA version so us geeks can just klik discreetly when we're doing things such as "socialising" :eek:

Beansprout · 31 Dec 2004 at 17:36

Whee, I'm back

Odd, Gilly hasn't passed me yet. What's the world coming to!

So close, I can feel a single digit position coming soon, unless Berserker has 12 days worth of keys up his sleeve that is

He's away, or has been, so most likely not...go for it

I wondered what happened to you too. Don't you turn into a slacker now :eek:

Beansprout · 6 Jan 2005 at 20:07

I've got a real excuse, I was miles away. Christmas is no excuse. Slacker. I rest my case. And run. It was Berserker's idea, not me, honest :eek:
