        No probs with people dropping in for a chat or to apologise for losing the tapes
        BUT... If I happen to be arguing with a solicitor over whether I accept DNA testing as 100% conclusive, I don't want some data monkey launching into a rant that his spreadsheet is not in the right format.

        By all means send me a mail and put a read recipt on it

          In a similar vein; the same self important w**kers who expect you to slow down to allow them to merge in from a slip road.

            If in doubt, just use the other side of the tape.

              At 6 months she could be hardly showing and if she is too immobile maybe she should be resting up at home instead of scamming companies with false productivity when all she is doing is eating and falling asleep at her desk.
              There are badges for this situation. And if you are really annoyed, just ask politely and someone will be falling over themselves with embarrasment to give up their seat.
              Not really. My wife is skinny. She's got a massive bump sticking out in front of her, and there's no way you'd have to ask the question. Plus she's the hardest working person I know - she works part ffs in recruitment, and is still her teams top earner!

              Also she wears the badges, and she does ask, this has almost caused a fight once when she asked and the bloke (On chair next to door if you know the tube) refused to offer her a seat and someone else got very incensed (If I'd been there I would have clocked the pr!ck).

              Best not make assumptions, either about my wife or reasons for this kind of behaviour - people on transport in London are simply rude.

                This is a bit of an unfair question really, because people who answer tomorrow will have a much better idea of whether today will go pear shaped than people who answer today about whether today will go pear shaped. Maybe you should be a bit tighter in the rules governing your questions, possibly specifying a rhetorical bent, possibly insisting that all answers taken after 15:00 are null and void.

                  Do you go on a special course when you buy one that teaches you to drive like a twat?

                    People who dont take the stickers off the bottom of new shoes, when I see people with them left on I just want to tell them. Also people who do not dispose of chewing gum carefull, get so angry when I have to peal the crap off my shoes. Also annoyed by all things 'Labour'
