This 2-part video will get you right up to speed on the risk of a failing Russia. And Melania was the last sane voice in the White House?? Apparently.

The US is no longer a trading partner. It's a country ruled by crude, loud-mouthed mafiosi thugs.

Jonathan Pie, in his emphatic way, explains precisely why Reform will quite likely form the next government.

It's best not to send jokes like these to us. They are too easily confused with our real helpdesk tickets.

Subject: Computer nerds
Here are actual calls to computer technical support reps:
Customer: I'm trying to connect to the Internet with your CD, but it just doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?
Tech support: OK, you've got the CD in the CD drive, right?
Customer: Yeah....
Tech support: And what sort of computer are you using?
Customer: Computer? Oh no, I haven't got a computer. It's in the CD player and all I get is weird noises. Listen.....
Tech support: Aaaarrrrgggghhhh!!!
=========================
Tech support: What kind of computer do you have?
Female customer: A white one...
=========================
Customer: Hi, this is Celine. I can't get my diskette out.
Tech support: Have you tried pushing the button?
Customer: Yes, sure, it's really stuck.
Tech support: That doesn't sound good; I'll make a note.
Customer: No .. wait a minute... I hadn't inserted it into the computer yet... it's still on my desk... sorry....
==========================
Tech support: Are you sure you used the right password?
Customer: Yes, I'm sure. I saw my colleague do it.
Tech support: Can you tell me what the password was?
Customer: Five stars.
=========================
Customer: I have a huge problem. A friend has placed a screen saver on my computer, but every time I move the mouse, it disappears.
=========================
Tech support: How may I help you?
Customer: I'm writing my first e-mail.
Tech support: OK, and what seems to be the problem?
Customer: Well, I have the letter 'a' in the address, but how do I get the circle around it?
========================
Sigh.

Thinks, hmm, must buy the missus some vitamins.
Detecting air raids before radar.
Why not?
I do miss these old emails circa 2000 - when getting them was a new experience that made life in the cubicle bearable.

Consumer Labels - Some examples of why the human race has probably evolved as far as possible. These are actual instruction labels on consumer goods:
On a Sears hairdryer:
Warning: Do not use while sleeping.
(Gee, but thats the only time I have to work on my hair.)
On a bag of Fritos: You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside.
(The shoplifter special)
On a bar of Dial soap:
Directions: Use like regular soap.
(and that would be how?)
On some Swann frozen dinners:
Serving suggestion: Defrost.
(Good suggestion.)
On a hotel provided shower cap in a box:
Fits one head.
(duuuhhhhh)
On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert:
(printed on bottom of the box:)
Warning: Do not turn upside down.
(Too late. You lose!)
On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding:
Warning: Product will be hot after heating.
(Are you sure??? Let's experiment.)
On packaging for a Rowenta iron:
Warning: Do not iron clothes on body.
(Whose body?)
On Boot's Children's cough medicine:
Warning: Do not drive car or operate heavy machinery while taking this product.
(Boy, we could do a lot to reduce construction accidents if we could just keep those 5 year olds off the fork lifts!)
On Nytol sleep aid:
Warning: May cause drowsiness.
(One would hope.)
On a Korean kitchen knife:
Warning: Keep out of children.
(...or pets! Whats for dinner?)
On a string of Chinese-made Christmas lights:
For indoor or outdoor use only.
(As opposed to use in outer space.)
On a Japanese food processor:
Not to be used for the other use.
(okay, so now I'm curious.)
On Sainsbury's peanuts:
Warning: Contains nuts.
(but no peas?)
On an American Airlines packet of nuts:
Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts.
(have a lobotomy)
On a Swedish chainsaw:
Warning: Do not attempt to stop chain with hands or genitals.
(What is this, a home castration kit?)
On a child's Superman costume:
Warning: Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly.
(Oh sure, thats right, destroy a universal childhood belief.)
Lolz - old email archive discoveries.
In 1998 had a new boss (Steve) who wanted to ok everything. Clearly getting a bit jack of the micromanaging, I wrote this to Bob, a contractor :0)
--------------------
Bob, Steve *** has thrown the ball back to me so I shall talk to you and you will talk to me and I will ask Steve what to do every time there is a question.
Have you seen this reply from Steve or did he send it to me so I could send it to you? He says: "(yada yada) Thanks, Steve"
Over to you, Bob.
