One of my work colleagues has just posted this in their FB Stream:

Quote:
PLEASE post this as your status if you know someone who has been eaten by badgers. Badgers are nearly unstoppable and, when hungry, also breathe fire. 71% of people won't copy this into their status because they have already been eaten by badgers. Another 28% won't because they are hiding in their showers with fire extinguishers awaiting the coming badgercalypse. The remaining 1% are awesome and will re-post.


Craster better watch out...

Feeling a bit giddy. Just spaffed 900 sovs (well £775 ex VAT) on Adobe Production Premium due to Final Cut X not being fit for purpose and Adobe offering a 50% discount to hacked off Final Cut users.

Whilst I think of it, as I became most annoyed over it, did anyone hear the Today program, erm, yesterday? Specifically, the section on animal testing? The anti-animal testing woman was really lobbing half truths around. Such as:

"2/3rds of animal experiemnts are done without anaesthetic" - the science man (who seemed to be reasonable throughout, replied that breeding mice is consdiered to be an experiment

"9 out of 10 clinical trials on animal models fail, and the drug is never used" - that's the point though of testing them.

There were some other thigns, that I can't remember right now, but it really was gobsmacking how wrong she was about many things, but,s eemingly knowing this, kept trying to blur the proper facts with emotive fiction, and, also, disregarding we have dominion over the animals. The rpesenter didn't really help by asking her about if she thought her views would change if one of her children needed treatment.

It really made me quite cross that she was able to disseminate her rhetoric without an option for science to reply on a point by point basis.

Letter to landlord telling him we're bailing out at the end of the month because he failed to complete all the repairs stipulated in the lease and has also failed to arrange separate gas, electrickery and water supplies and metering from his adjacent property. Induction course for me on 26-28 July and my business partner starts a new job next Monday.

It's not a total loss. We have some Criminal Injury Compensation cases still being processed and we can continue to operate from home until our license expires at the end of Feb, so we're hoping to make enough from those and any more we can pick up to at least recoup our investment. We might even make a profit in the end.

last year, I stumped the locum's medical science by reavelaing a rash on my upper body. She didn't know what it was, so asked the other female doctors to come and have a look.

I worked out, it was my taking two hayfever pills a day causing it.

If it makes you feel any better Malia, for every consecutive friday since the beginning of April, I am the only one of four tax partners who have spent any time in the office on a friday afternoon. This includes the weeks that I was on holiday, and our head of division insisted that at least one partner be around to ensure cover.

Once again, I have just got it in the neck for this state of affairs, rather than it being taken up with the wankers concerned.

I feel your pain. For years, with a variety of gas/elektrik suppliers, I my balance has gone up and down like a bride's nighty and I've ended up either in debt in the spring, and having my payments racked up, or with a ton of credit and getting a refund. In the end I calculated my consumption for eight quarters, allowed a bit for inflation, and then mailed them once I'd got my account pretty much at zero balance to tell them how much I should pay and to stop changing my DD as it evened out over the year. Generally that's worked well, although they still try to reduce the amount from time to time, but I keep heading them off before they actually make the change.

The whole fucking point is to even out the payments and keep things predictable, but I don't know if it's the eejits in their offices, or their Micky Mouse software, but every now and again they try to fart around with my payments even now.

Be strong. Make them do what YOU want.
