My boss is a keen rower. He has had stuff published on the history of rowing in fact. He has just presented me with a small piece of card and asked me to translate it from German to English. (He knew what this card was, but is unable to speak German). It was an entry ticket to the Hospitality Area at the Rowing Competition from the 1936 Olympics. (Tuesday 11th Aug 1936) It has the Olympic Symbol with a small Swastika in it. Gott in Himmel! Mind you, it was the Nazis that gave us the Torch Relay. Ghastly Fellows.

Have you ever considered writing a blog? You could write down all your legal-but-morally-questionable business shennanigans, as well as all the fascinating other things that happen to you in one place, where joe programmer wouldn't have to read it.

Joe programmer hangs in in Q&A, rarely comes to the lounge. The lounge is for Bob programmer, who likes to hang out here and talk about anything BUT programming. Personally I like seeing the things people post such as that, it is interesting to me to see what people in other countries and cultures are interested in and the things they do.

Thats non-programming related section of a site dedicated to programmers. Lets extend that out to "things that may be of interest regarding the workplace". Now lets do a quick straw poll of the last half a dozen threads Don't be stupid, be a smarty... - A thread about the "fun" of over zealous Health & Safety in the workplace - Relevant to the workplace... check - relevant to programmers ... meh. How full is your Inbox? - A thread about, well, full inboxes - Relevant to the workplace... check - relevant to programmers ... I suppose cross-company collaboration... - A thread about the difficulties and challenges of collaboration - Relevant to the workplace... check - relevant to programmers ... check Are you a Brogrammer? - A thread with one of those humourous tests - Relevant to the workplace... meh - relevant to programmers ... check I wish they'd tell me these things - User having trouble with browser/CP - Relevant to the workplace... meh - relevant to programmers ... check The last 2 things you've contributed "Oh look at how smarty I am, I can avoid tax because I'm such a super-accountant" "Oh look at how smarty I am, I translated something from German to English" And lets not forget the daily "Oh look how smarty I am, I can pull a cryptic crossword clue from the Torygraph" *Yawn* Edit: Tidied up some typos - otherwise you'll only use an ad-hominem to attack my "poor grammar"

Great, looks like Dave will have 1 reader of his Blog. That's one more than most people, so he's all set. However, please, if you're going to read blogs to find out about other cultures and nationalities I really wish you wouldn't use an Accountant from Luton :|

I am not from Luton, merely a resident there. I was not born in England and have lived in several countries in my time. Once more you make assumptions, but that is because you are stupid.

It's almost like I guessed you were going to do that - that pretty much defines an ad-hominem attack. And if you care to look outside of the Lounge, you'll see I contribute programming, on a programming-related website. Where's your contribution outside of this forum? Oh yeah, there isn't any because your an Accountant. I did find all the Human being, shared with your brother, masturbation stuff funny though. Made me chuckle.

Oh god, your a foreigner too. An Immigrant Lutonian Accountant. It doesn't get much worse. (In case you've totally lost your sense of humour - this post is meant to be ironic)
