    The post on what is under people's desks got me thinking. Would anyone like to theoretically swap what is under their desk for what is under mine? At the end of the process in the best BBC tradition you can just hand it all to a passing cleaner and avoid any obligation to actually post it out. As a reminder I have the following: Two boxes of books (SQL Server 7.0 anyone?), the motor from one of those radio controlled blimps that I won at a TechEd, 27 football programmes, a copy of Aldous Huxley's 'Brave New World' and a broken mug. I would like to swap for a Smarties Mug without too much internal staining.

        It's not empty, the contents is just moving so fast you can't see it. Everyone knows Chuck Norris seldom moves slower than the speed of light. :rolleyes:

        Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

          Sorry no Smarties mug, but I do have a Dennis the Menace and Gnasher mug from 1997, no chips or cracks, and its black so the stains do not show! Any offers? I would like anything to do with the Bay City Rollers or mullets in general :) Or a signed photo of David Hasselhoofff! ;) TTFN

            Geez. Nobody's asked for Posh Paws. Come on people - at least ask for a Maggie Philbin or a Cheggers (the currency of course being 2 Maggies and 4 Cheggers equal to 1 Noel).

            Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

                hmmm... okay... how about I pass the hantavirus risk, asbestos risk, snake bite risk, and spider risk all off to you? :) I have to check under the desk every day before I put any legs in there. The last thing I need is a rattle snake chasing the mice that party in my office to get royally pissed at getting his tail stepped on. :-D

                                  I don't suppose you know how to get bloodwine stains out of an office carpet by any chance? :doh: I knew I shouldn't have opened that draw but I was looking for things to swap with digital man for his tackyons. I'm going to need something to attach stuff to the new notice board, like notes reminding people that office desks are not the place to store your fictional subatomic particle collection or beligerant alien armies, ouch weyurgle au

                                    Is it Access '97? I have some bisuit crumbs I'm prepared to gather together in exchange!

                                      I don't suppose you know how to get bloodwine stains out of an office carpet by any chance? :doh: I knew I shouldn't have opened that draw but I was looking for things to swap with digital man for his tackyons. I'm going to need something to attach stuff to the new notice board, like notes reminding people that office desks are not the place to store your fictional subatomic particle collection or beligerant alien armies, ouch weyurgle au

                                      Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

                                      Red wine stain, try using a cheap white wine and a J-cloth. It will soon dilute the colour.

                                          Using Access 2 for windows, Que series, 1994. It's parked right next to my Fundamentals Programming with Fortran 77.
