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.
We dare you to try and find another forum with thread titles this good. We [i]dare you. [/i]
