We had a big Church Social yesterday and to show how diverse we are, everyone was invited to wear a badge showing their nationality. When we arrived there were no UK badges left [not surprisingly] and only a few English, what I am not.
So I perused the available options and took Singapore [by birth], Ireland [from my parents] and Hungarian [I am waiting for my paper work to come through]. There were a few others with two badgers but only I managed three.

I presume you managed to Ferret them out.

Just out of curiosity: What does one do with three badgers?

I'm failing to see how a situation which leads to a grown man wearing three badges in a public place can be seen as 'winning'.

Can't remember if I've put this on here before but I once traveled by chunnel and car to Belgium from the UK with a guy who was born in Holland, lived in the UK, had a Belgian Driving license, a Swiss passport, and a car registered in France. Or some such similar combination, I forget the exact details.
And the only problem we had crossing a border was trying to get back on the train in France when British customs asked to look in the boot of the new BMW I was driving and asked what a car battery was doing there wired up to stuff. As it was the first time I had opened the boot I looked quite surprised too, but there was a diagram next to it so I persuaded them it was supposed to be there.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

From Q&A: i dont know it's a good question that i ask or not
but i learn basic c++ programming in console
but i want to prgramming and earn money and enjoy with this
but i can only write program in console and this BLACK place (shet)
in this time i'm realy confused and i dont how i should do
i dont know i should learn api functions or learn vc win32 prgramming or learn MFC
please guide me to learn
with a list step by step that i should do
in this way if i should read any book please tell me??
Made me chuckle. "The console is a black place". Maybe installing a spell checker would be a great idea?
On the spell checker topic: I know Chris wants us to be mild with non-native english speakers, but at a certain level (when the drivel becomes almost unreadable) I sometimes think that some should invest time in learning english before actually getting started with programming. Not that I demand everyone to speak a perfect english, but their conversation partner shouldn't need to decrypt the sentences...
[Edit]This wasn't clear, but the last chapter is not related to the question rather than it is a thought that came to my mind as I wrote "spell checker"[/Edit]
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

Yeah, but that's no consolation...

He probably meant that programming takes him to the black places in his head.
I know that's what programming can do to people 
It's an OO world.
public class SanderRossel : Lazy<Person>
{
public void DoWork()
{
throw new NotSupportedException();
}
}

That's why I listen to The Smiths while programming. 
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

I really just listen to anything. From 60's to 2010's (mostly skipping the 80's though) and from new age/ambient to dubstep
It's an OO world.

{
public void DoWork()

I avoid nearly everything after 1990. I have a lot of 80s; ah the good old days hacking away in my parents' basement...

I have a lot of that from the 80s, but I don't listen to it much anymore.

With the chance of being a typical Leslie, I did what I could do to stop myself of pasting this. Obviously I failed.
