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.

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 ...

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.
Treat stressful situations like a dog, if you can't eat it, play with it or screw it, then just piss on it and walk away. Be careful which toes you step on today, they might be connected to the foot that kicks your butt tomorrow.
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)

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.
But then he wouldn't be on CP all the time, and couldn't talk about his secret love, Leslie Nielsen, quite as often. Plus, we'd lose our accounting emergency mascot.

I advise the both of you to take a look at the Lounge rules. To make it as simple for you as possible, I have quoted the relevant rule and highlighted the relevant phrase...
The United States invariably does the right thing, after having exhausted every other alternative. -Winston Churchill America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between. -Oscar Wilde Wow, even the French showed a little more spine than that before they got their sh*t pushed in.[^] -Colin Mullikin

For those not familiar with the 1981 Nationality Act [Section 11 IIRC], if you're not born in Britain you can't be British. These are normally the same BNP voters who can't accept that a British born black is British. I know you know, but for those of a retarded disposition, if you are born overseas to a woman legally married to a British man born in Britain then you too are British. If, as is mine and my daughter's case, then if your father was an overseas born Brit, then you can claim immediate nationality if his father was British Government Employed - normally, but not limited to, Diplomatic Corps or Military. The act has been amended to allow British antecedence on the maternal side, but there are caveats to which I am not fully converse with.
