  • Re: Official Bored at Work / Off-Topic Chat Thread II

    Well the Government cut a massive chunk from the budget of everything. It resulted in the crime rate soaring and was one of the causes and things that enabled the riots during the summer. Basically there are areas of the UK where if something isn't under an armed guard, someone will try to steal it, and even then, someone will have a bloody good go at it.

    The trains thing is pretty widespread actually. I would say about three quarters of my delays when using the train comes from "Signal Failure", the main cause of that is someone stealing part of the track.

    Also the Church roof thing is depressingly common. A local church recently had it's roof repaired after thieves damaged it by stealing metal from the roof. On that night the repairs had finished, the metal from the roof had been stolen again.

        Yeah, with the fall of the middle class, nowadays 1st world countries are starting to look more like 3rd world with a lot of money. o_O;

        For instance, as I've mentioned before. Many of the laws and government actions in the US after the year 2000, and specially the public's reaction to it all reminds me very heavily of stunts the Mexican government has been doing here in MX for decades. All the partisanship extremism, all the rethoric, all the apparent violence-less hate? Yup, we've seen all that here before.





        And if they have a student massacre down the road due to the OWS movement then they'll be the Mexico of the 70's, with way more money of course. <_<;

                Go back one page and check out Firewind's post. You'll see, it does help with depression.

                      A new gaming concept?

                      BBC News - Toilet gaming technology targets urinal boredom

                      certainly takes the piss

                      I find this line amusing.... "Another noted side effect was that the toilets became markedly cleaner, as a new premium was set on accuracy."

                          That's actually pretty good.

                          But I fear longer restroom waits, should this work so well that being in the bathroom becomes more pleasant than your date/company at the table. <_<;

                              I had a dream last night where I had a baby. As in like, one was inside my body and then came out. No gore, but enough squicky body horror the details of which I was mercifully not provide. wtf, brain. No more liquor for you before bed until the next time I give you liquor shortly before bed.
