I've been offered the opportunity to apply for the next step up the job ladder at work, but don't think I'm ready. Do I apply anyway for the interview experience, or carry on stuffing envelopes?

Left Overs
In my opinion nothing beats a left over, cold Dominos pizza the day after a night on the piss (fuck getting up in the morning after going out on the lash).

What are your favourite left over foods?

Any recommendations?

A quick Google search has found nothing, was Bernard lying to me?

I just flashed the postman
he brought me post, I showed him my left breast. Admittedly I had been feeding the ectoparasite, and forgot to put myself away - but the postman didn't know that.
Do you think this will encourage the postman to up his demands in the next strike action, or not strike, but knock on my door more often?

This week's QOTW.
I've been debating this all morning. I've raised the issue on a messageboard not a million miles from here.

If you all aren't lying at one another, does QOTW turn in to a baiting site to trap nonces and the sex offenders?
This week's QOTW is being taken in some rather odd directions from what I am guessing are your spottier brethren.

Yesterday at work
A manager for another site, here for a meeting, wanted to check her email at lunchtime. She powered off and on a locked PC and logged in, in the process killing the long running test it had been performing. On being asked about it she just shrugged, said "sorry" and swanned off back to her meeting.

I'd never do that, nor would anyone else I know. I had assumed that was a universal piece of modern etiquette - apparently not.

Any other bits of 21st century manners you can think of? Alternatively, have you seen some rudeness recently?

Hey Liars. Internet supremo JMG here.
Whilst the fan club grows and the twitter gets loads of attention, I remain with my feet on the ground to impeccable standards in order to keep in touch with b3ta, and to a lesser extent QOTW.

Come on. Show off.

I feel weary and drained today
I can only assume it's the effect of digesting the curry I ate last night.

let's hope it gets better before the end of the day because I've got a lot of drinking and flaming barrel avoiding to do tonight.

how are you today?

What a strange day it's been.
Enzyme's been threatened ONLINE.

I had my tea an hour later than usual.

I haven't thought about sex once today.

And there's been lots of jiggery pokery on B3ta which got some B3tans very excited. I'm looking at you Chart Cat.

and all the other bits and bobs in our profiles and so on.

The only problem is that now I can check the popular posts on OT and I want to reply to them because many of them happened when I wasn't here.

I don't like missing stuff - I'm most put out that I've missed out on the racist outrage today.

So, what don't you like missing?
