Be Excellent To Each Other

Or the domain main might have expired and be up for grabs now?

Receive only. What would it send?

Lord knows. I was half listening to QI, and something about it came up, which confused me a bit.

We should totally make one. I guess we'd need a flymo, canvas, varnish, black paint, more black paint, a hydraulic ram in case it falls upside down and an angle grinder for those air to air dogfight moments.

The only thing we'd probably struggle with is encrypting the data, but if we use Mr Dave's Phone to do that, and get Joans to wire it all together, we could our own superpower. Kissyfur can sort the power supply requirements, Grim.. can do the website front end stuff, myp the comedy beard, Gaywood can pilot the thing, you can send the ransom demands in a scarcely believable accent and I'll shag Honor Blackman.

We could put Mr Dave in it, then it would be lighter and more likely to fly.

So, I heard a version of "White Christmas" this morning which I quite liked - I didn't catch who it was by, but it sounded a teensy bit like the awesomes Harry Connick Jnr. Turns out it was Michael Bublé and Shania Twain

Was it this episode?

If he were to be captured it'd ruin the percussion, rhythm and lead guitar sections of my band. That he doesn't know he's in yet.

Also, I'd feel bad after he got tortured in the unlikely event he got captured by worse people.

I think it must have been.

Back in April 2009, I got 100% on all the levels in Peggle. For some reason, I bought it again on Steam and decided to do the same again. Handily, Steam tracks how long a game has been played, so 64 hours later (I suspect some of those hours I might have left the PC idle), I've got 100% on the PC version too.

I've got piles of other games to play and I'm playing bloody Peggle. I can see me alternating between Dark Souls and Peggle Nights over Christmas...

Vancouver appears to now both have my favourite restaurant and now a newly single Jewel Staite.

BRB, emigrating.

Also, shotgun.

Plane fare £1,333. It leaves Saturday. Good luck.

Excellent. That gives me a couple of days to go out and get a red shirt.

That's a rather decent 29p a mile. Blimey.

That's when I was waiting for Gaywood to invite me in..

Thank yous?

They'd never be able to keep him behind bars.

Release day tomorrow, means a fun day at work today, yay!

Simples.

New mattress has arrived. Hurrah! Now MrsA and I have to get it up to the top floor. This involves two flights of dogleg stairs. Boo! And get the old one down two flights of dogleg stairs! Boo!

Cool, we got a new mattress last week. New mattresses are great.

I seem to destroy mattresses. I've only had the current one about 3 years, and it's already got a massive massive dip in the middle. And Craster hasn't slept in it.

PIVOT.

He keeps you going all night long, eh?

Ooh.. save £-28 on a hard drive.

Cheery reading





So, that's six people not working for every one job going.

Quick apostrophe quiz: If an office has 2 technicians housed within, what is the correct form for the door sign?

A - Technician's Office
B - Technicians' Office
C - Technicians Office

Office of Technicians

I would say "a".

I reckon B. Although "Grand Lodge of the Worshipful Guild of Technicians and Artificers" would be even better.

Are they male?

I'd go with 'Gents'. The signs are cheaper.

I'll say B.

No, I'll say tietoteknikkopääkeskus.

edit: that means computer-technician-HEAD-closet.

edit: I am referring to Davpaz.

'Nerd shack'

'Strike Team'

Either B or C would be correct. C is using it in an adjectival sense ("the office where you can find technicians", rather than "the office belonging to the technicians").

B is technically correct, but nobody uses that form these days.

I ask because we currently have C on our office sign.

I like to be correct

I'm having trouble thinking C is correct. 'Technician Office' would be correcter. Like police station, or match box.

"Accounts Department"
"Files Room"

Noun adjuncts were traditionally mostly singular (e.g., "trouser press") except when there were lexical restrictions (e.g., "arms race"), but there is a recent trend towards more use of plural ones, especially in UK English. Many of these can also be and/or were originally interpreted and spelled as plural possessives (e.g., "chemicals' agency", "writers' conference", "Rangers' hockey game"),[2] but they are now often written without the apostrophe, although this is criticised by some authorities.[3]

Fowler's Modern English Usage states in the section "POSSESSIVE PUZZLES": "6. Five years' imprisonment, Three weeks' holiday, etc. Years and weeks may be treated as possessives and given an apostrophe or as adjectival nouns without one. The former is perhaps better, as to conform to what is inevitable in the singular — a year's imprisonment, a fortnight's holiday."

Nuh-uh. Filing room, or file room.


Meh, it's not Accountants Department though it it? It's an exception.

I'll buy you the U, N and T for Christmas.

What else would you keep in your file room?

Dark Souls

Awesome - am doing this next October with dad in the TR4a Triumph Club rally from London to John O’Groats, John O’Groats to Lands End and Lands End to London.

Love Triumph TRs, building a lovely dark blue TR4a at the moment at work. We're on your route (not surprisingly) wonder if your tour is coming in?
