Have you noticed in the chat rooms some people seem to revert to baby talk?
Why?
Does it get on your nerves as much as it does mine?
Post any good examples here

i'll start...
when i was in the army we had a rota for burning all the classified papers once a week. this included ariel photographs, memos etc. we had a furnace which was about 8 ft tall and 4ft by 4ft . it had a door to put the stuff in and a tray underneath for the ashes. oh and a chimney on top. burning the stuff would take a couple of hours as you had to feed it slowly or the fire would be smothered and go out.
so one week when i was on the rota with a mate. that friday a band were coming to play on the base (you know entertain the troops and all that. they were one of my favourite bands at the time. so i had A BRIGHT IDEA to make the stuff burn quicker. i walked down to the petrol pump on the base and filled a bucket with petrol. put all the papers in and covered them in the petrol. threw a match in...
the furnace exploded and took off like a space rocket... luckily the fireball shot out the top through the chimney as the thing went 20ft off the ground. it came back down and burned for a while melting the whole furnace.
on the explosion the whole base was sent in to high alert and everyone to their posts... by the time "the authorities" found out what had happened the gig had been cancelled and everyone was generally fucked off.
my mate and i were court marshalled and spent 2 weeks in the stockade (which basically meant we did gardening around the base for 2 weeks)...
didnt stop me going on to be a lieutenant before i left the army. although i was asked about the incident in the selection for officers course process (the army i served in does not have people going to officers course from day 1. you need to spend over a year in the ranks before selection).
how about you?

i had a meeting yesterday which ended badly with no agreement and a bigger gulf between the parties than at the begining of the meeting and loads of extra resentment.
i thought i was on a plane home tonight with nothing.
just had a call up to my room. come down to reception a couple of gentlemen here to see you.
i thought it was a hit...
basically it was a complete capitulation and u turn by the other side.
im still in shock to be honest. in all my years i have never seen anything like it. can somebody pinch me to make sure im not dreaming. or show me where the candid camera is?
