Oracle ERP 200/Day
Well £200 a day is good compared to £0 a day on the bench..... It's fairly clear that quite a few projects are running out of money so the PM's are looking for cheaper 'creative' options - for example fixed term contracts on a modest permie salary.- oraclesmith

Idiots who drive only in the outside lane....
I agree that if there is no traffic ahead, those in the right hand lane should seek the leftmost lane to make onward progress. However, I have often been in the right lane following a queue of cars and some twonk in a Teutonic trashcan comes up behind me thinking they can force their way...- oraclesmith

Wacko Jacko Buys The Ranch
I Googled for the above headline but couldn't find it - so I made my own. How come everyone is a born-again Michael Jackson fan now he's dead? I seem to remember that when he was in court on child molesting charges, there weren't many celebs coming out of the woodwork to heap their praises...- oraclesmith

Michael Jackson Dies from Cardiac Arrest
Not mentally unstable? No, he's......er, just a black man who wanted to be a white boy. Anyhow, why is everyone a fan now he's dead? What happened to the 'Wacko Jacko buys the ranch' headlines I was expecting?- oraclesmith

Makro
I too shop at Makro for bog rolls, washing powder, kitchen roll, washing up liquid, sauce and the like - in massive packs. Per roll/wash/portion it works out cheaper than the supermarkets, but you have to be very selective. Some of the workwear is good value too. I also buy catering stuff for...- oraclesmith

Michael Jackson Dies from Cardiac Arrest
The start of a bundle of conspiracy theories and some 'Michael is alive and working in a chip-shop in Scunthorpe' stories.- oraclesmith

2 tickets for MJ at the O2 - going cheap
"Hey guys, we're all going to see Michael - I just won five tickets on e-bay and they only cost us 7 big ones - yahooooo!! We'll have to sell the car, but it'll be worth it. Crack me open a cold one son." "Dad, dad. It's on Sky - Michael's dead - he's DEAD .....!'...- oraclesmith

Don't say anything - just back your car into it by accident. If anyone notices, make a really bad job of clearing it up.- oraclesmith

Barbarism - skinning of animals whilst they're still alive
PETA ; Sounds like a good Plan B to me. Start up a charity rescue centre for pets (say dogs and cats), take them in, house them for a couple of weeks and then put them down, thus saving space and vets fees. While at the same time raising loads of money from the gullible animal loving public...- oraclesmith
