What's happening where you are?

 

We have a large sign demanding total silence and tiptoeing in the playground due to the neighbours' complaints... it's very funny to watch!

 

Radio 4 has 3D radio. BBC News - Today - Does 3D radio work?

Land Rover has a self-levelling tax disc to prevent traffic wardens from getting neck strain under some European directive:

As our staff are a bit under strain (Ofsted next week), I'm going easy on our staff.

 

I sent the following light-hearted email:

 

Hi all,

 

Due to our budget dropping dramatically next year, we have decided to implement a ‘bring your own’ scheme for IT.

 

This means that from next year, we will no longer be issuing laptops, instead we will be expecting staff to provide their own in.

 

We know this may be annoying to some, but with the current economic climate we have to do what we can, and it was either this, or bring your own toilet paper…

 

I've also added a facebook logo to our pupil intranet, and I'm sure i'll play with the HP printers a bit too.

North Norfolk Radio are running a piece on how a new European Directive will mean that this year will be the last year April fools day will be allowed

 

That's pretty believable.

we have applied a wallpaper reading 'Your PC has a Virus, report to IT IMMEDIATELY' to just a few machines here and there. we'll also apply it randomly when students are logged on too, for effect. tee hee.

Tried that yesterday over our cc3 network, with a wallpaper containing a windows error message. Couldn't get it to deploy for some reason lol.

lol, just sent a message out to all PC's in the school for 9:30 that a FRAILSPOOL error has occurred please contact IT admin. Lets see what happens

 

at 9:35 you regret sending that message after your phone has not stopped ringing since, and there is a queue a mile long outside your door... :p

Youtube 1911

 

Also they've added a 1911 button on every video, turns the video yellow and the sound off.

 

not quite - it replaces the sound with Charlie Chaplin style piano music...

I sent out the email from another thread about aligning your laptop north in order to maximise wireles signal.

 

The head has emailed the NM and Business Mgr wanting to know if this is in addition to our whole school wireless plans.

I've done the simple, Please insert cheese... added with a shortcut to facebook.com on the students desktop which actually goes to http://www.oldheatonian.co.uk/testwp/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/facebook1.jpg As facebook is blocked here i'm interested to know how many hits it will get :)

There are also these "suspect" BBC articles:

 

'Sex-change' chicken shocks Cambridgeshire owner

BBC News - 'Sex-change' chicken shocks Cambridgeshire owner

 

Driving the electric Rolls-Royce

BBC News - Driving the electric Rolls-Royce

 

 

As for 3D radio, it does exist. The BBC did a special on it back in around 1989 or 1990 inconjunction with Tomorrows World and Radio1. Bomb The Bass did a special 3D version of "Winter in July".

Unless the BBC has got other papers to retroactively play along with the chicken one, then that's not one (the Express and Mail both ran articles on it yesterday).

 

And the latter has bee reported on for at least a month.
