mikeprice Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 [ATTACH=CONFIG]59010[/ATTACH] .. Bit of a necrobump but I only just spotted this thread imagine if the handle was a bit - errr - difficult - and you had to jiggle it a bit to get it to open just how wrong would that feel???
mikeprice Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 [ATTACH=CONFIG]59377[/ATTACH] . Now that makes perfect sense - it was probably checked by my wife - or her sister My wife has a tendency to do 2 rather 'difficult' things when giving directions a) get left and right mixed up b) point -with her hand in front of her so - when we need to turn left at a junction - she has been known - many times to point to her left with her right hand in front of her when I am - as I am driving - looking forward and say 'go right' which can be confusing the best directions - not unique - are when you come to a junction (normally at a roundabout) and she says Down or Up her sister does the same which is also confusing (in case you are wondering what on Earth (or any other known planet) they are thinking it is the first word of an instruction saying' down that one' - up that one' but they only get the first word out then stop which is rather difficult to interpret at times) so - basically - that sign makes sense to me - I am used to the concept 1

stevejp Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 PS. Not used to posting in these nether regions of the forum - are we as likely to get turned into frogs here as in General Chat or BTRD?

DrBeaker Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 [ATTACH=CONFIG]59400[/ATTACH] Cyber WHAT??! Apart from being crass on a superficial level, surely SOMEONE in govt coud get the less salubrious connotation?I saw this and wondered what others in IT would think of it. I think it's a bit demeaning and insulting to IT professionals to be honest.

mikeprice Posted October 18, 2020 Posted October 18, 2020 That’s a bit extreme - if anything, it should be the parents who lost them who get fried! That's a terrible suggestion to make about an ex Prime Minister
