    Morning all.



    I'm torturing the freshers with CadStar this very morn.

    And another lot this afternoon.

      if arnie was still around then god know how big the stock pile of cash would be. Instead he and his son passed and the fools that took over proceeded to spend and destroy everything arnie had built up

        Though it must be said that Arnie managed almost single handed to destroy much of the UK electronics industry.

        And the feckwhits fecked up the rest once he'd gone.

        I heard a story about a GEC computer salesman who, through dint of hardwork, managed to get himself a bonus rather in excess of Arnie's remuneration.

        Rather than praising this, the beancounter in chief (Arnie) rearranged the bonus system so this could never ever happen again.

        It's no wonder we're fecked.

        In some ways, I suspect this little story confirms some of Spod's comments.

          Morning!

          Torture them!

          Took the bike in today, knowing it was going to rain in the afternoon. Need the wet practice.

          Gah... tired...

                We seem to have this thread in different formats every year and the same row kicks off every time.

                Can't stand kids and have no time for them and really get annoyed by sanctimonious parents.

                Am I the only person who gets disappointed when their mates announce they're pregnant?

                      Nope, because you know they're going to become incredibly dull and kids will be the only thing they ever talk about.

                      I just think it's incredibly patronising to assume that the only reason I don't want kids is because I haven't had any yet and if I did have some I'd see how amazing they are, (and probably become incredibly dull as well).
