There's nothing wrong with an inhouse team and local server room!
So that's where my pay rise went, that and other failed IT projects

Top American news agencies claiming dna evidence from Richard III could call into question the Queen's rule.
And then saying "The Queen had no comment".

Please tell me someone didn't really call Buckingham Palace.
That's not just stupid, it's insulting.

Of course she had no comment, the Queen doesn't go about calling people fricking idiots.
Does no one there even bother reading history before they go spewing off at the mouth?
Or at the least read the BBC's story???


Sometimes it's so embarassing living in the US.

Bloody hell Bill, you have spent far too long on this site and have started thinking like an Englishman. You will soon get a visit from somebody demanding to see your green card.

Default Gripe of the day - What is yours?

Small children who insist on walking in to the bathroom when you re already there.

Is nowhere sacred?

I have the same problem with one of my cats. If you close the door while using the bathroom, including showering, he scratches the door then starts tearing up and chewing the carpet. Fine when it's just me and Mr LPH but at one time we had a friend staying for a few months and he'd have to have a bath with the door open.

Chuck the cat in the bath.
They soon get the message unless you are unlucky enough to get a cat like Paws.
