    Seeing British Transport Police on packed main-line termini concourses in rush-hour wearing machine guns.

    When and how, exactly, will they use such weapons?

      Having an itchy scrotum for weeks from sitting at a desk all day and then reading a post by gricerboy about putting talc on your "jollybag" after a shower stops itching and discovering it does indeed stop the itching.

      (Thank feck it wasn't thrush after all.)

              Regarding the "time remaining to copy" function in Windows (as covered by xkcd & NickFitz lately) ... it is not just the time estimate that is wrong; the animation is too.

              I have mentioned this before on here.

              Watch very closely: as the paper goes from one folder to the other and spins, it also goes from landscape to portrait without any rotation around the appropriate axis to make this happen.

              This animation has been re-done many times and yet remains wrong in Windows 386, 3, 3.1, 95, 98, 98SE, ME, NT, 2000 and XP.


              I have no idea about Vista or Windows 7, and that suits me just fine.

                I believe standard operating procedure necessitates having a brazilian electrician with a baggy jacket spreadeagled on the floor first.

                  The Windows keyboard standards for cut 'n' paste have still not been implemented properly in MS Project when editing the text in a field.

                      The really useful list of recommended headings for a Project Mandate was taken out of the 2009 edition of PRINCE2.
