    I would certainly consider changing 'pot-noodle' back to 'wank'

    It would save a lot of confusion when deciding what to have for lunch

    At clientco, outside the lifts is an led indicator to show where each one is, 2 together. When one is at the basement, and the next at the Upper Mall it shows as 'B''UM' on the display. And that cheers me up just a little bit.

    +1 for sneck btw but it can also refer to a persons nose

    I created a bedtime series of stories involving Puton as a parallel universe, with parallel names. Eg Pony is Tony.

    Useful to spin a yarn with similar names and illustrate an outcome. I suppose I'm basically Shakespeare.

    and I would change 'oxymoron'

    I'm not sure what I would change it to. I just know that the current definition is rubbish

    there is so much comic material in 'oxymoron'. oxygen, stupidity etc. etc etc.
    it's a waste of a great word


    even an intelligent agent would agree with that
