mb2k01 Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 And now look at the place! I hoe someone is going to help me clear up! Ah well, at least I have some telephoen numbers to ring tomorrow to either tell people off, or thank them. I will be out of the office for most/all of tomorrow so will miss a large amount of the clear up works, but am happy to help with any issues if and when you decide they're appropriate to deal with, and I can help...
localzuk Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 you DIRECTED people to the Viglen stand? Were you drunk? Otherwise intoxicated? Or just fancied a laugh? Oh I dunno. Their computers are pretty good, especially for the price they charge!
russdev Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Wow, it's like waking up after a particularly good party at about 11am and going 'I drunk how much?', 'Oh, I was sick, I thought so but wasn't sure' and 'Where are my shoes\wallet\car keys?' or even 'What's that smell? Oh please God don't let it be me!' It seems we've had a bit of a party here. I had made a comment that I should possIbly have sent via pm, but given my workload and the amount of 'Reported post' emails rapidly filling my inbox, I felt I had to say somethign. This was the net party evquivelent of a 6 pack of Carlsberg Export. Next Tony tried to add a bit a levity and common sense to the situation, but the net party bottle of Thunderbird had not made his situation clear. There were also many comments and posts by members who had brought Kestral lager but had just spent the past hour in the net kitchen drinking the really good stuff the others had brought. And now look at the place! I hoe someone is going to help me clear up! Ah well, at least I have some telephoen numbers to ring tomorrow to either tell people off, or thank them. I just realised I am the one who got to go clean the Toilet after this net party Russ
Edu-IT Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Oh I dunno. Their computers are pretty good, especially for the price they charge! I got some leaflets on my desk for them, and you're right. They're also doing a sunflower growing competition so who can moan?
RingOfFlame Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 When is a troll not a troll? When it's a mod. Seems a kind fellow has seen fit to remove witch from grumbledooks list of trolls.
GrumbleDook Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Nah ... there has been a lot of discussion going on and some folk were taking it as mod bashing ... it wasn't.
Dos_Box Posted January 24, 2010 Author Posted January 24, 2010 When is a troll not a troll? When it's a mod. Seems a kind fellow has seen fit to remove witch from grumbledooks list of trolls. Mods also get told off as well. It just happens in our hidden forums. It's much more sinister that way.
synaesthesia Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 It's all rather public-school, I reckon. Dos_Box, the prefect, standing there with a hardened bamboo cane, slipper of particularly tough sole and a belt that would hold an elephant's slacks up, and all the mods lined up, bare bottomed and shivering, awaiting both guidance and punishment. And of course there's always going to be one. The one that likes it. Ooh yes sir, please - some more! [lays off the sugar] 1
GrumbleDook Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 @synthesia ... oh no ... please ... a terrible image comes to mind ... but I seem to still see EduTech bouncing up and down at the end of the line .. not quite realising what is coming ... and Domino giving the 100 mile stare ... "You call that a beating? I had tattoos that were more painful!" 1
solitaire89 Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Quick question... In light of all that's been going on. Does anyone know roughly, what's the proportion of men to women on this forum? I would put it as a poll in a new thread, but don't want to rock any boats here. I'm just interested as I havn't met many other women in IT before
GrumbleDook Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 There are quite a few here ... but it can be a male dominated place. Go on ... start a new thread with a poll ... I think a lot of us would like to see it. In fact suggest it to DB about a site poll ... it has been a few years since one was run for this.
solitaire89 Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Go on ... start a new thread with a poll ... Hey, I'm not putting my neck on the line - the cauliflower will fall off my face
powdarrmonkey Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Hey, I'm not putting my neck on the line - the cauliflower will fall off my face I will. Being a social pariah is no worry for a monkey.

[lays off the sugar] People pay a LOT of money to access certain London clubs that operate like that!
GrumbleDook Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 People pay a LOT of money to access certain London clubs that operate like that! Let me guess ... an old army friend told you about them ... and there are none near the Union Jack Club of course ... We believe you, honest.
Snuffkins Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 @synthesia ... oh no ... please ... a terrible image comes to mind ... but I seem to still see EduTech bouncing up and down at the end of the line .. not quite realising what is coming ... and Domino giving the 100 mile stare ... "You call that a beating? I had tattoos that were more painful!" It's funny you should say that, I thought edutech would be the asking for more as well . And he already knows what it's like to get a good beating lol.
Edu-IT Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 It's funny you should say that, I thought edutech would be the asking for more as well . And he already knows what it's like to get a good beating lol. Abuse in the workplace? I'm sure there's somebody around here who can advise on that.
Snuffkins Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Abuse in the workplace? I'm sure there's somebody around here who can advise on that. Can you let me know who? Just the amount of bruises I have on my arms from being punched while on the phone is making people suspicious now...
EduTech Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Can you let me know who? Just the amount of bruises I have on my arms from being punched while on the phone is making people suspicious now... Should start behaving like a mature adult then mr! @GrumbleDook, To be honest i would not mind being wrapped up again i quite enjoyed it last time hehe! @Dos_Box, I will await the phone call tomorrow @Members, Anychance of sometime off? My Inbox has not stopped all weekend... and as they come to my phone as well that has been alerting it's self to death! James.
Guest richard_s Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 you DIRECTED people to the Viglen stand? Were you drunk? Otherwise intoxicated? Or just fancied a laugh? When I worked in schools I was a big Viglen supporter as I found that their solutions worked great and they were not pushy in their sales technique. As for RM well the less said the better

As for RM well the less said the better Fair play Can't step foot in most schools round here and say the V word, would get lynched :| Often don't get too different a reaction from RM schools either sometimes
Haptic Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 I had to laugh. Hi Joe, It's Chris calling from EduGeek regarding your childs behaviour... . hey come on now i've been good, sorry if i have a voice and dont just say oi wanna buy this lol:p
Domino Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Hang on....am I being accused of being a masochist here? .....not that I'm complaining mind, just felt it needed clarification ;-)
Edu-IT Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 hey come on now i've been good, sorry if i have a voice and dont just say oi wanna buy this lol:p I wasn't talking specifically at you. Just the first name that came in to my head. @Members, Anychance of sometime off? My Inbox has not stopped all weekend... and as they come to my phone as well that has been alerting it's self to death! Do what I do and turn off sync on a Friday night and turn it back on again on a Monday morning. Can you let me know who? Just the amount of bruises I have on my arms from being punched while on the phone is making people suspicious now... GrumbleDook might have some advice? If not, mine is to stop being a wuss and hit him back.
sparkeh Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Ah crap I missed all this, its my teenage years all over again, turning up at a party just as everyone is leaving.
