Too late to start anything new, too early to go home (I was a bit late, forgot my phone). Other Nelson Mandela's exit which seems to have caused a rift, anything else?

You could try to estimate the cost to South Africa of the funeral.
Here's my guess:
Dig hole: £500
Coffin: £1000
Flowers: £200
Security for visiting dignitaries: £50,000,000

Hmm, a client of ours moved out of South Africa (Cape Town) 18 months ago as he was of the opinion once Nelson died the country would go the same way as Yugoslavia (i.e. separate states at each others throats!). Hope it doesn't, I would like to go to Cape Town with out the need for Kevlar armour!!

They're drawing the teams for the Association Football World Cup.
Normally I wouldn't care (or even have on), but there is a totally hot woman standing next to the rather boring man at the podium. A bit like a middle manager and an extremely glamorous call girl.
[Edit]
Oh My, she keeps biting her lip.
[Edit 2]
Football haters rejoice!!! England has drawn Italy and Uruguay. The pundits think this is a bad very bad group, so the team should be out quickly and the whole sorry affair should be over in the minimum time possible.

I booked tickets using miles. I paid 668 for a 15K flight. Awesome!
Other than that, my obsession with song Happy and I know it by Kat Dahlia keeps on increasing.

The ones that make me chuckle is from the company's dedicated web hosting service provider after a support request they send you a survey and the last question is
"Please can you let us know what you think about this survey?"

 Reminds me of the days I spent as a service lead, customer support calls were a good part of my week, and yes there are people like that.
There was an hour spent reading a few of those. Thanks for the link.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Possibly Useful Tip Of The Day:
I get truly pee-ed off with the Adobe updater bugging me for permission to download it each day. I was looking at another problem with a work colleague and we decided to set up a scheduled task for a daily report app I wrote. In the scheduled tasks list, I saw a task for the Adobe updater. I've deleted it and I wonder if that will once and for all stop them pestering me to update stuff I only use once in a blue moon? If you have similar issues maybe see if there's a task running on your machines. Previously, I always assumed it would be in the registry Run or RunOnce keys, but no, it isn't.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

Mike, happy to read that. Knowing those crafty fellows, will they put it back on, I wonder?

Will see if they do or not. Problem with some of them is they think that it is their machine and we shouldn't mess with it.
