After a stay in the hospital I told the girlfriend that I missed the nurses.

My first task as a "real" employee is to document everything I do in the department, for the benefit of my boss, who has very little idea...

I'm sure they have some idea. But its probably more because they want to cut and pste what you write for their own purposes.

Glastonbury is bloody expensive. I know Mrs P wants to go so i was thinking of pre-registering for tickets for 2011. The 2010 prices are �185 a pop. At least the boy gets in free because he's under 12.

Disneyland? Legoland? Ikealand? Football hooligan land?

is it me or did the thread with the old "It's all FDRs fault" just disappear? Does that mean I won?

Nah, Simon, it's still there. It's "how to judge japan's attack...."

I'm still enjoying my tea.

It's quite amusing, yes. We'll see if he makes a comeback on your last post. Personally, I don't think he will - he's a little "too married" to the conspiration theory.

He seems to not just be married to it, he's settled down and had a family with it as well.

Post deleted.

And probably for the best, ol' buddy.

Have a nice time Per!

BTW, I think that heat wave is still in the north - the hottest weather in many many years...

P.S.
Where are the pictures of the archipelago beaches?

Why don't we create a "conspiracy theory" thread? We can put them all in one place? And the participants can high jack from each other. It would also be much easier to avoid.

I used to have a web page bookmarked that was a massive collection of conspiracy theories. One advantage of the web for such people was that they could combine their theories with those of others in order to obtain "buy-ins". That created some doozies such as a conspiracy involving the masons, the British royal family, space aliens that Bill Clinton was hiding inside a mountain in New Mexico and perhaps some black helicopters as well. Unfortunately I have forgotten what they were conspiring to do, but I'm sure I should be terrified.

I remember that one! I had a young rabble rouser who worked for me who insisted that he dominate was supposed to be training (this was in the USN) about conspiracy theories and despite every attempt to get the training back on subject, he'd go right back to them. When he mentioned this particular attempt at world domination , I casually mentioned that I was affiliated with one of these groups, (go ahead and guess, but I'm not a alien, space or other, and theirs nothing noble or royal about me) and I hadn't gotten the memo. The ensuing laughter shut him down (for that day anyhow). And damned if he didn't report me to NCIS for "conspiring against the government and the constitution!
