They were They'll struggle to afford that anymore since that last judgement against them in Portugal. They might be forced to leave another kid alone in search of funds!

Awesome to hear, Lardy. Have a good time!

I am in a daze! I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am!

OMG how fab for you Lardy. Don't be watching it all through a phone now.

Oh guys, don't be so flippant, it's making me blubber.

No call for a referendum?

The Foo Fighters are playing a secret gig in a 500 capacity venue in a town 10 minutes away from me tomorrow night. And I have two tickets. Excuse me while I just go and HAVE A FUCKING MENTAL SCREAMING MAD BREAKDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats the vote of confidence her fans have been waiting for, I'd imagine.

DL 2025 posters will still be fuming at her continued hold on life, then

Que sera sera.

Woah, for a second there I thought Groucho Marx must have been reincarnated.

R.I.P. to Al Jarreau, a legend of Jazz

What's the difference between ignorance and apathy? Don't know and don't care

When she dies, will the headline be "Yoko Nomo"?

I bet the Japanese diet and weather has a lot to do with that though. Yeah, but she's ditched the Japanese diet and lives mainly off a dead Beatle. BOOM BOOM!

Long-time smoker, and in her eighties. Leonard Nimoy died of smoking related causes in his eighties, thirty years after he gave up.

Actually, I pulled a true computer IT professional one just the other day. We use an instant messaging program at work that allows us to send announcements to contacts we choose from a list. I chose the members of my team, typed the message that I was kicking them all off the server and sent it. I quickly discovered that I had inverted my selection and sent it to everyone on my list except my team members, including four or five executives and several second and third line managers. I caused a massive panic because none of them is remotely technical and they didn't know what I was talking about. It was a fun way to end last week.

Had a young woman working with me in a bar a few years ago. Not the brightest star in the sky, on one occasion, she was pouring a pint of 1664. I turned around to see her watching the glass overflow. She looked at me and said 'how do I stop it?'. We also sold eggs - she asked me how many half-a-dozen was! After she left us she got a job in a local supermarket. One night she managed to get herself locked in, setting the burglar alarm off resulting in the manager having to turn round and go back to let her out!

The firm I worked for in the early 90s had a slightly dippy secretary. The first time she had to use the fax machine was interesting...she was told to fax a letter but mark it "private and confidential." She typed the letter, marked it as instructed.....put it in an envelope, sealed it and shoved it in the fax. Well, at least she didn't stick a stamp on it first... And yes - she was blonde.

This should probably go in the Room 101 thread, but anyway. I knew my workmates were thick, but today one of them said she didn't know Ireland was in Europe (no, she wasn't referring to the EU) Wtf? We live on and island in the Irish Sea ffs, how can you not know where Ireland is? Some other gems from different workmates include - Is South Africa near China? This customer lives in Pakistan, I didn't think Pakistan was a real country. Is Portugal a different country from Spain ? And my ultimate favourite was when a customer wanted to use Mugabe as their password and we were debating whether to allow it. Colleague - What does Mugabe mean? Is it a rude word? When we mentioned Robert Mugabe to see if their was a flicker of recognition, she declared she'd never heard of him, then asked if he was a tennis player. So, what's the stupidest thing you or someone you know has ever done?
