soveryapt Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 lol .. Just had a phone call from the office staff to say "is Mr ... in the ICT room at the moment" so I answered yes to which the office staff said "just tell him, the silver birches have arrived. he'll know what you mean" Now, thankfully, it wasn't an activation word and he's not gone bananas, but that's possibly the most random message I have passed on for a while! Next it'll be "tell him the red fox flies at midnight" or something ..
p858snake Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Isn't Silver Birch a type of tree, so wouldn't silver birches be the plural form?
sonic1485 Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Oohhhh no not the silver birches! We're in trouble now! Uh oh I've said too much... CODE RED ABORT ABORT ABORT!!
Dos_Box Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Isn't Silver Birch a type of tree, so wouldn't silver birches be the plural form? And you wonder why you don't get invited to parties
p858snake Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 And you wonder why you don't get invited to parties I thought that was the lack of money and job >.>
soveryapt Posted July 21, 2010 Author Posted July 21, 2010 Isn't Silver Birch a type of tree, so wouldn't silver birches be the plural form? But the thing is, the teacher rushed off to get a pupil to take them to the silver birches .. so either we have some kind of protection racket going with the local forrest and we must feed them a child every so many months or it's something else .. either way .. see sonic's response .. too much has been said ..
K.C.Leblanc Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 I need to get our junior tech to pass some mesages like these, not ones that people are expecting.
soveryapt Posted July 21, 2010 Author Posted July 21, 2010 Ok .. conspiracy time .. no longer do I learn of the "silver birches" than the fire alarm goes off .. I stayed under cover in case of snipers .. lol ..
Arcath Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Ok .. conspiracy time .. no longer do I learn of the "silver birches" than the fire alarm goes off .. I stayed under cover in case of snipers .. lol .. its so that they can move the silver birches into school with no one noticing.
Ric_ Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Ok .. conspiracy time .. no longer do I learn of the "silver birches" than the fire alarm goes off .. I stayed under cover in case of snipers .. lol .. Maybe they had to evacuate the silver birches so that the impending fire wouldn't burn them?
witch Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Maybe the silver birches had turned up to collect their money - a sort of arboreal protection racket: 'Pay up or the playing field gets it!'
SteveT Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 It's obvious!!! Active directory is being split into a multi-domain forest consisting of birches, oaks etc. Now it all makes sense!!!
Sirbendy Posted July 22, 2010 Posted July 22, 2010 Myself and NM have Walkie Talkies..serious jobs, they're far better than the SLT kit..heh. We find it adds fun to use callsigns instead of names, He's 6ft+, so goes by "Bigboy", I go by "Rubber Duck" (no idea why, but couldn't care less!)..so I'll be walking along and you'll hear "Rubber Duck, do you copy? Over.", to which the reply is "Rubber Duck here. Talk to me Bigboy, what's up?" etc. We tend to use them with the headsets, so it does look somewhat intimidating..
Joedetic Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 I think the local forest is staging a coup d'état on the school.
CAM Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Maybe the silver birches had turned up to collect their money - a sort of arboreal protection racket: 'Pay up or the playing field gets it!' We get the crows round here. They hit our big green lawn at work and the one in my back garden on the same day.
corieltauvi Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 I'm now paranoid as we have silver birches at the bottom of our garden. I can see them looking at me now with their sardonic branches. If anyone needs me I'll be in the bunker.

If anyone needs me I'll be in the bunker. I think the threat from 2010 has passed m8. Unless that's what they WANT you to think... 1
