Fisticuffs at Work
This reminds me of a chap I worked with once who used to go into a rage when trying to use MS Word. He would get completely stuck trying to put a border on a table or something and end up doing a Basil Fawlty, screaming at the screen and hitting the monitor. He wasn't acting up either, he... -

Nice part of Manchester
I don't get this comment at all. I lived in Wilmslow and the only real advantage was that it was so easy to get out of. I used to cycle to the airport when I had to fly anywhere on contracts; there is a direct train to Euston (I even commuted daily during one contract); and the M56 is about 5... -

Boarding school - good idea or bad idea?
Same here. Did three years of it and had the time of my life. Then my parents came back from working overseas and I had to go back to living with them full-time. :mad -

Chocks Away, Ginger!
Instructions: 1. Get the ground monkeys to blazzo the old crate round the side of the NAAFI. 2. Jump the chocks and hump it into the blue stuff. 3. Follow Mickey and Yadders down to the Big Smoke. 4. Pop Jerry one right up the honker. 5. Back to Blighters for crumpets. Appendix A: 1. Keep... -

Chocks Away, Ginger!
Why 80% scale? If they're going to go to all that effort, why knock a fifth of the size off?? Maybe it keeps it within the 'light-aircraft' class or something. -

Virgin Trains
I used to do this when I was travelling a lot from Manchester to London. I could knock a good 50 quid off the total price by buying separate tickets between stations along the way, and staying on the same train. I did notice that on the return journey the same service stopped at different... -

HIACGMOOH
I'm sure that helps, but she cons women just as often as men, and the guys on the show manage to con people very successfully too. I think the main gist of the show is, there's one born every minute. But a lot of their tricks don't even really rely on people being dumb. They're clever enough... -

Cars on the touchline
It is painted on. From other angles you could see the image all stretched out, like the elongated STOP sign painted at a road junction. The paint was still drying actually, which at least gave us something more interesting to watch than the football. The RBS logo is painted on the pitch at 6... -

It's interesting that hardly anyone seems to know who Jessica-Jane Clement is, and that the media are all over her being a glamour model and having big tits. I don't know if she's going to get a chance to demonstrate how smart she is on I'm A Celebrity but I hope this exposure doesn't get too... -

Fans of the Clash Will Like This....
"Lock the taskbar" is the most commonly cited example of 'Popropriation' (coined by Adam and Joe off of the radio), where people change lyrics to fit what they're doing. They had loads of examples on their show, but I can't find a list of them anywhere now. -

Tommy Flowers and Bill Tutte.
It's time they dropped the 'lost heroes sob sob' line from anything to do with Bletchley Park. Full of admiration for what they achieved, and for keeping quiet about it for decades afterwards, but seriously, it's one of the best known stories of the War now. They're hardly 'lost' heroes. I...
