    Yes, we are here too (todays is a mutli national transportation co. in Denmark).

    I find it a little embarassing how many people have come up to my office specially, or phoned, or emailed, etc..
    Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.
    threadeds website, and here's my blog.

      They will observe it here in Staines.

      Call me a cynical old fool, but I think it is a load of old bollocks. Look at it from the terrorists' point of view (not the dead ones, obviously).

      # They achieved one or two days of solid, wall-to-wall broadcasting on all channels, plus a further week (so far) of debate and comment about how horrified we all are. Everyone who is anyone is having their say.

      # They have their own logo, printed in the papers - the London Underground sign with 7/7 in it.

      # They now have a two-minute silence around the world which will recognise what they did.

      Great publicity.

        It looks like lots of people will be standing outside of offices etc. If it does one thing it shows solidarity and I'm all for that!
        The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

        But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

          I don't get it, why 'outside'?
          The vegetarian option.

            It's a lovely sunny day. Do everyone good to get a bit of sunshine and fresh air.

                Well that went well, wandered down to Tesco's with the rest of the dev team here chatting away merrilly and walked in wondering why the hell everybody was standing still and saying nothing.

                They announced the thank you about 5 seconds after we clocked what was going on DOH!
