Every forum needs a Humour Section...

Has The End Of The World started, or has TME gone deadly quiet?
Fortunately I am used to talking to myself, so I'll just ramble on regardless.

This week (at the Day Job) has been needlessly stressful. Mostly because the juniors (that usually need constant vigilance and bottom-wiping) have been let loose to try and Do Something By Themselves (writing software for a new Online Forum for 200,000 people). Of course, it ended in Dismal Failure and Rehearsal Of Excuses.

You might well ask "why", but to explain why would be a PHd's worth of material on Corporate Psychology and Business Development. To keep it down to an "executive summary", it turns out the best example of a Really Good Forum (technically) we could offer was MumsNet.

Which gave me license to mention MumsNet own article on the best ever forum threads, in the world.

16 sentences you'd only read on Mumsnet.

Away with the Fairies?

It seems that the Isle of Man is a special place in more ways than one.

As recently as 1932, they were have court cases to decide whether Fairies exist.

I recommend that website as a source of many things that might interest us.

I want to complain to the management.

I try a search for a simple phrase like "red hair".

Why? Cos I can't remember where we were discussing that.

What do I get?
The following words in your search query were ignored because they are too common words: hair red.
You must specify at least one word to search for. Each word must consist of at least 3 characters and must not contain more than 14 characters excluding wildcards.

???

Sounds like your students have been redesigning this site.

I recommend Mumsnet. Mind you if you look for red hair you never know what you'd find.

[hvered]

The search facility is about as useful as a book index, it never comes up with the word you need. You'd get better results if you type in 'ginger', we don't bother about our p's and q's here.

As a side issue, anyone who uses Celt(ic) unless ironically will have to contribute to the swear box from now on.

[TisILeclerc]

Does that include Rangers supporters?

[hvered]

They're soft so don't count.

I wondered where the petty cash was coming from!

Bing Bong - service announcement.

TME might be quiet tonight, as we're all glued to the TV watching MegaVision (the story of TME Europe re-enacted in song). Or EuroVision as it is sometimes known.

We'll be asking Hattie and Mick for their expert opinion on the boys in tight trousers and the girls in skimpy tops. I'm hoping to vote for the Polish Dairy Industry again.
