Yep, I"ve had this problem before - and on one site I think I might end up having it again soon. Annoying isn"t it.

This made me chuckle - only in Ireland

BBC website

"The Irish parliament is to review its rules of conduct after a lawmaker swore heavily during a budget debate. MP Paul Gogarty of the Green Party - a junior partner in the Irish government - used the F-word after being heckled by the Labour opposition. He immediately apologised for the rant, which he admitted was "the most unparliamentary language".

It has emerged that the F-word is not on the list of banned words, unlike brat, buffoon, rat and scumbag"

It seems you can"t call him a buffoon - but it"s within the rules to tell him to "F**k right off"

Where was I with the Kilkee thing - oh yes Mam and the ould lad thinking about going back to the bar they were barred from. Must finish that tale and the demise of my relationship with Anne (nicely not badly).

Myself and the wee man are off for a pre christmas break in the lovely town of Killarney. Flying out on Friday - back on Monday.

This will involve taking in the wonderful sights of the Kerry countryside, with rambles and long walks on the agenda. This is a break for the body and the soul and we will have philosophical conversations whilst sipping fresh orange juice.

Of course those of you with a rudiment of geographical awareness will know that Killarney is a short hop from Laxie towers and that the last paragraph was a load of bollix.

FML (L for liver)

Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Sooooooo looking forward to it!!!

Spotted in Computer Weekly.

"Lancashire County Council has paid £1,500 for a lorry to move PC"s and other office equipment 10 metres across a road in Preston, which works out at £150 a metre. Why? The removal firm said it could not carry boxes across the road because of health and safety regulations. Incredulous staff looked on in wonder as the lorry was loaded, did a three-point turn, and was unloaded onto the opposite pavement"

You couldn"t make it up

You don"t even need to! I worked for South Ribble Borough Council which is in Lancashire and parts fall under the County Council, but it seems like even if they dont share the same I.T. department they have similar mentalities.

They had a server room racked up to the nines with servers ticking over at about 2% and they were worrying how to get more in!! Forget consolidation, every new application needed a new server. That was madness! and no doubt still is!
