09:53.30bilarhmy potty mouth has got me in trouble again
09:53.47bilarhyesterday, my wife calls pissed out of her head from the pub saying can i pick her up
09:53.50bilarhshe was at some work do
09:53.58bilarhanyway, so she's trying to give me directions
09:54.07bilarhand then all of a sudden there's this man on the phone instead
09:54.12bilarhso i goes "who the eff are you?!"
09:54.21bilarhand then it turns out it was her bosses boss :P
09:54.36bilarhnote to self: stop swearing randomly
10:03.14halijust using the phrase "eff" is quite pikey
10:03.34bilarhpossibly
10:03.41bilarhi need to stop swearing so much anyway
10:04.14halii've used the c-word in the office a couple of times, one time directly to our EMEA MD ... he was cool with it though
10:04.46halii think the worst reaction i've seen was when i explained what a "3cm" was to our CTO
10:04.53halihe's fairly american though
10:07.02bilarhwell, like there i am trying to figure something out
10:07.09bilarhand then this man voice comes over on the phone
10:11.32bilarhmaybe i'm on due to start my period
10:19.56haliyou pig!
10:20.08bilarhoink
10:20.21haliand why doesn't i have any php 5 capable webservers?!
10:21.36halihm, i have way to few "in between" servers... we have hardcore strict prod systems and a shitload of dev/qa ...
10:21.59haliputting something semi important on dev/qa is throwing nails on road

11:48.31heedno, BSAC. Going back a few years though. Bloody Baltic was freezing
11:48.50bilarhah ok :)
11:48.53bilarhdry suits ftw :)
11:49.33bilarhi'm not convinced yet... i like snorkling, but i've never tried scuba
11:49.50bilarhif i don't like it, i'll just go marlin fishing when she's off diving, i think :)
11:52.08heedjust remember to keep telling your self to breathe
11:54.53bilarhdoes it not happen automatically under water?
11:56.41ChoHagBah that's rather silly.
11:56.50ChoHagClam can scan any kind of archive but can't scan an iso.
12:00.45heednot at first. It can take a concious effort to breathe. Think about it, you don't normally breathe under water so your brain is automaticaaly stopping you]
12:01.00heedautomatically, soory
12:11.28bilarhoh right

14:48.39bilarhdick_turpin!
14:48.47bilarhlong time no insulting
14:49.33dick_turpinbilarh: I'm busy doing my new website, still not finished
14:49.55bilarhthe animal porn one you were talking about?
14:50.49dick_turpinbilarh: No the one where all the long term ill loafers have to get assessed
14:53.49bilarhwhat the hell does that even mean?
14:54.08dick_turpinbilarh: Did you not listen to the Budget?
14:54.12bilarhyeah?
14:54.18bilarhi got sick halfway through, though
14:55.11dick_turpinbilarh: All people on long term illness benefit will now be assessed for a job, any job they they can do
14:55.38bilarhoh rihgt
14:55.45dick_turpinbilarh: So if you have a bad back, tough get an office job where you can sit down
14:56.01bilarhisn't that quite good?
14:56.10bilarhi hear morphine works really well nowadays ;-)
14:56.31dick_turpinbilarh: Yep, I know about ten blokes who are shitting themselves
14:57.32dick_turpinbilarh: They keep moaning "I'd work but my joints are stuffed" Ha go work in a call centre then
14:59.08bilarhwell, it's not really pc to say, but good on them
14:59.16bilarhthe govt i mean, for saying that
14:59.35secretlondonwell I've been trying to get back to work but no-one wants me
14:59.39bilarhdick_turpin: i had a word with my wifes bosses boss yesterday
14:59.53bilarhdick_turpin: i asked him who the f he was? :P
15:00.04secretlondonand its all about what the newspapers want anyway
15:00.22bilarhdick_turpin: i'm trying to get a contracting role for them, see, so i thought i'd get on his good side
15:00.44bilarhsecretlondon: not being able to get a job is different from not taking an office job because you can't do a warehouse job
15:00.48dick_turpinbilarh: By asking him who the F he was???
15:00.55bilarhdick_turpin: it was on the phone
15:01.05bilarhdick_turpin: and i thought he was some random drunken lout in a pub
15:01.28dick_turpinbilarh: So is the wife now looking for a job?
15:01.33bilarhdick_turpin: not so far :P
15:01.35secretlondonbilarh: actually you'll find the real number of tabloid hate figures is low, and if you've only ever done warehouse work you won't find an office that'll take you anyway
15:01.56bilarhsecretlondon: what are these tabloid hate figures you're talking about?
15:02.22secretlondonthe ones who exist to sell newspapers, to generate the 5 minutes hate of the day
15:02.24dick_turpinsecretlondon: Not to get into a spat but IMO you're wrong, get down an agencey and do some temp work
15:02.44secretlondondick_turpin: you think i'm not registered with loads of agencies?
15:02.44dick_turpinThe money maybe crap but it'll look good on a CV
15:02.50antiphaseEven thick people can get jobs if they want them
15:02.59dick_turpinantiphase: Yep
15:03.06secretlondonoh all the nobs are out again
15:03.09wethrinantiphase: Yup. Mostly employed by Phones4U
15:03.18bilarhsecretlondon: i still don't understand... what's that got to do with the government wanting someone who can't do heavy lifting getting a job in a call centre instead?
15:03.20antiphaseOr McDonalds
15:03.22*** part/#gllug secretlondon (n=secretlo@wikipedia/secretlondon)
15:03.39dick_turpinwas it something I said?
15:03.49bilarhi think it was your smell, actually
15:03.50wethrinNo, I think it was something antiphase said
15:03.55antiphaseWe should have told her to get up the stick and onto benefits
15:04.40antiphaseMy English teacher at school once described himself as "thickist and stupidist"
15:04.40bilarhantiphase: now, now ;-)
15:04.47dick_turpinThing is I get the feeling people who say "No one will employ me" are just being picky about the job they take
15:05.23dick_turpinbilarh: You know what they say about teachers?
15:05.25antiphaseI've done some properly wanky jobs in my time because I needed the money
15:05.44dick_turpinantiphase: Same here
15:05.56wethrinHm. So far I've been lucky.
15:06.03bilarhdick_turpin: those who can't, teach?
15:06.03wethrinUnless you could writing ASP code as a wanky job
15:06.10dick_turpinbilarh: TaDa
15:06.34bilarhi haven't really had any wanky jobs so far, except if you count the ones i really hated, but they still wouldn't class as wanky
15:06.58dick_turpinI've only been out of work twice, once for a week and the second time for a month
15:07.02wethrinEh. I'd probably do a shit job if I needed the money, but would just continue looking for better jobs
15:07.06bilarhhowever, if i was out of a job, and someone offered me to clean toilets, i'd be down on my knees scrubbing the porcelain godesses :)
15:08.30antiphaseYou need to work on your delusions of grandeur
15:08.41wethrinWho, me, or bilarh? :)
