Naturally all the permies are using this hiatus in the working day to have lunch.

They have much to learn.

Where did everyone go?

TPD - it's not just for centuries.

I bet Nick doesn't need a GPS.

Did you see that Beeb documentary the other year where a chap went into the jungle and followed a bunch of chimps around, sleeping where they slept and eating what they ate?

The chimps tolerated his presence for a few days, by the end of which he was in a right state due to general physical exhaustion and lack of sufficient food, the chimps not having left much for him.
