Company I did my student work based learning for last year won an award at the Prima fashion thingy recently for "best small independent maternity retailer", mainly because of the setting up of all their social media stuff that I did amongst giving them a PR department and rehaul of their website. I am now smug about this, especially as I now get to write an article for the student newspaper about the award and how awesome I am.

Here's an idea.
Following on from the furore about MPs expenses and second home status, I’ve been thinking (all on my own, dangerous state), when the 2012 Olympics are finished why not turn the village into MPs accommodation. Then they can have a constituency home and a pied a terre in London. Obviously the village will be all cabled up for cameras and have security measures which would help protect our brave MPs from marauding constituents and terrorists. This would cut expenses and stop the twats milking the system as it would be cheaper to provides the accommodation free.

Discuss.

Morning All
Well, this place is going to Hell in a handbasket (always wanted to say that).

Yesterday we had 7 people on shift, today we have 4. That's because 2 were sacked (and not out of the blue, it was after discussion), and the other was suspended, pending a disciplinary. Sadly, that's my housemate. If he loses his job, we lose the house. Great(!)

Of the 4 people we have on shift, only 1 has been here longer than 3 months. Everyone is getting sacked over the most ridiculous things, and no-one wants to replace them, as this place now has a reputation for being shit employers. I can't say anything to anyone, as my position in the company isn't strong, so I have to just keep my head down and work.

So come b3tans, tell me, what's really pissing you off at the moment?

kitty times!
My cat has this weird habit at night of carrying a (clean) ball of my husband's socks, or a favourite fluffy toy, in her mouth, walking the corridors and crying quite loud...such that the pathetic meowling even wake us. She's never vocal except for these nightly serenades... but it has such a pitiful quality to it.
Does anybody else's kitty do this? Or can you offer an explanation for this feline behaviour?

I sometimes thinks it's like she's carrying a dead kitten around and crying over it, but I guess that's really just anthropomorphising

More strange phenomena
When my cat scratches my bedroom door slowly, it sounds exactly like the intro to 'Not if You were the Last Junkie on Earth'.
When he does it fast, it sounds like the intro to the theme from 'Desmond's'.
So much so that this morning I dreamt I was in an episode. Desmond had two shirts on and everyone wanted to know why.

I also dreamt I was on a cruise ship in 1950s swimwear, whilst on the phone to another cruise ship passenger with one of those old brass phone thingies (a posh version of the'can-and-string').

Steam on OSX
Sorry to post this here but I thought wasn't interesting enough for /links plus you lot are much more fluffy.

This says that steam (and tf2, hl2, css, etc.) are being ported to OSX.

I had a little browse on the steam forums and there's a scary amount of anti-mac sentiment there. I know they're all gamers and therefore all pretty much young idiots, but can anyone explain why people hate macs - and by extension, mac-users - so much?

As far as I can tell, the best argument so far is: "Macs are overpriced", so apart from the obvious envy angle I just don't get the hate.

Also - what do you gamers out there think? I know there's probably some 5punkers about. Personally, I think it'll mean that more bugs are ironed out due to the different build processes catching different things.




I might be a mac/linux-user.
