Not so green boss

The company is promoting green living and energy saving ideas – leave your car at home, cycle to work, use public transport, use video/telephone conferencing. Then the boss is setting up a meeting with a guy who works on the floor below us 25 miles away at an old building we used to use, but are selling, just so that he can claim the business miles for the tax on his car.

Fat Fighters

I must stand corrected. Nige isn’t going to Weight-watchers at all, he goes to Fat Fighters. This throws up a whole new load of imagery. You can imagine some kind of Fight Club thing going on, but only fort fat people. They could probably start off with the weigh in, then the two who have lost the most fight it out for the honour of the certificate and the fruit basket. Then the next two would fight each other. I could probably do a whole spoof on it:
“First rule of Fat Fighters is don’t tell anyone about how much chips you’ve ate all week.”

WOW Recruitment

There are a few guys in the office (as I have mentioned) who like to play WOW in the evening. Lately they’ve been doing a bit of a recruitment drive, for some reason, lending out their demo discs etc., trying to get people hooked (like drug dealers). Last week Junior had talked Clive into playing it. He spent eight hours loading discs onto his machine. Then when he started off playing, Junior just jumped in and slaughtered him in a couple of seconds.
Meanwhile Alan is so frustrated with his old guild that he’s thinking of starting a blog called “I play WOW with idiots”. The only thing stopping him is that he forgets to do screen-grabs of the stuff they get up to.

Andy-fam

A subtle question posed to Nige (who’s currently going to Weight-watchers and is going well so far).
Andy: “You know your clothes from when you were fat?...Can I have ‘em?”

More fun with rozzers

Talking of Rozzers, I found this. Thanks to the Boing Boing.
We all wanted to read the Ladybird books at the bottom too. Let's hassle them to write them.

Dead Rozzer

When I was almost at work this morning there was a police motorbike with a lorry he’d pulled over near the shops, down the road from work. I wasn’t sure if there was a speed trap operating along the road.
Then when Dan came in at 8.30 he reckoned he’d seen a rozzer lying motionless in the outside lane of the dual carriageway, (coming from the other end of the road) looking like he had come off his bike. With the amount of rain we’d had this morning you would think they would have more sense than to send out rozzers on motorbikes to race up and down after speeding motorists.

Branching out

Nige looks to be branching out into audio-books. There are a few people who’ve been having audio-books off him, although it seems that the only has Harry Potter books, and then only 1 to 7. Jason and Nige are discussing this when Eric comes along:
“He’s currently recording number 8 in his poshest voice.”

Tattoo for Clive

Also found this tattoo which would have been great for Fat Dave. Instaed I am suggesting it for Clive.

Mario Tattoo

Found this this morning. Had to share.
