Every January, the hamsters sit down with a couple of bottles of "Ole Yeller" Fermented Sunflower Seed Liquor (well, crates actually) and a bushel or two of baby Smoking Carrots and decide who deserves one of twenty Most Valuable Professional awards for the past year's contributions. This is generally an acrimonious discussion (by all reports) and when the survivors eventually leave the locked room they hand the list to Sean, who dons his current favourite "Casual Friday" costume and visits each member on the list personally to deliver the news, certificate, and key to the executive lavatory.
Past costumes have included a Mankini (once with nipple tassels), and last year's favourite of a sexually excited lobster.  
Locking yourself in the loo doesn't work, as he practices his limbo from September for just such occurrences...

I always expected EA to be the place where the first bloody uprising of programmers will occur.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

I once had a job interview at EA for a position developing installers for their games. I figured this would be good, as I had done a lot of customer work with WIX and MSI.
Met with the PM and Senior Dev of the team, and all they wanted to know was my skills in writing C/C++ code for their game engine. Nothing about installers and such...
Needless to say, I did not get that job...

They started a rock band called '999 Meg'. They are still waiting to do a Gig.

They've been trying to get a gig for the last six months[^], and they still haven't succeeded. I think it's time to give up and try something else.

I'm going away
But I'll be back
Though I go 10,000 miles[^]
Personally I've never had to go 10000 miles to get to Southend. It just felt like it! (Pa dom tish!)

Even if it hadn't been cancelled, why would anybody travel 10,000 miles for a football match, it's beyond me.

He didn't, and the report doesn't say he did, remarkably they managed to report what actually happened.

It wasn't actually the sole reason for his trip.
He was touring Europe and took (or tried to take) the opportunity to engage in nostalgia.

Well, at least he beat The Proclaimers[^]. 
Ha! Now you'll have that song stuck in your head all day. My work here is done. 😈

FTFY.
Once in a blue moon we'd go to the casino at the Kursaal[^] for an evening of sheer boredom.

I won't bother with the link as the b'tards expect you to pay for their content!
But the Torygraph as kindly explained how remote and distant the International Space Station is from home. Yes, at 250 miles above the Earth, the ISS is nearly as far away as Scarborough.
But it is still safer and more welcoming.

Only very, very briefly!
It orbits every 92 minutes at about 5 miles per second, so unless Scarborough is also running away from London really, really fast it's going to be 20,000 miles away in half an hour or so (using Top Gear Maths instead of a calculator)

Stop being sensible that man! We're talking about the Torygraph.
And while we're at it, I hear Briton First are planning a march about our top astroturf joining ISIS!

Yeah, orbital mechanics is a bit beyond them.
