    I used to love the way ALL lan traffic went through Finland because they were so anal about losing control, apparently the Finnish stock market mirrors the share price of nokia.

    Phone up on a clear phone line and say email is quing up at out end and they would say it that the line was bad and could I send a email...

      Scouser's Chairs

      I've inherited one of these orthapaedic chairs from the Permy who sat at the desk before me and it's extremely uncomfortable no matter how much you play around with settings. Trying to adjust it whilst you're sat in it is the nearest thing I've ever done to riding in a Rodeo.

          I suffer from a recurring neck problem, so when a worked for Big Bank, I asked about getting a special chair so that I would have neck support.

          I had an assessment from occupational health and one from the supplier of the chair.

          It was agreed that I could have one. The price tag - £1500. It took a few days getting used to it and everyone else who sat at my desk hated it.

          It was like Captain Kirks' chair from the Enteprise.

          Oh yes, I was a permie then.
          Do you think people who pack the confectionary into boxes at fudge making factories tell people what they do for a living?
