The first company outing after I started working here was a trip to the North of France for lunch, by private plane.
The next was a trip to Southend for lunch, by minibus.
Last week we went to Hanger Lane for lunch, by tube.
Is this a sign that the credit crunch is kicking in?

Women and football
Some women have been on a radio phone-in talking about their lack of interest in tonight's football. Well there's some sense in the last one anyway.
"Why are all the fans travelling all the way to Russia, just think of the carbon footprint. Why can't they play it over here?"
"It's very sad that so many men worship football instead of God"
"No, I won't be watching it, I'll be doing some housework then I'll watch Desperate Housewives"
"Tonight I'm going to the park to have a picnic"
"I find football pretty boring, I much prefer watching cricket"

Non-sense
The tube was broken yesterday so I got on a bus. It was one of those new buses which has a voice over the loudspeaker calling out the name of the next stop.
Some youngsters in baseball caps and sunglasses (despite the fact that it was after dark) were sat near me:
"Dat voice is really annoying, what's going on?"
"It's for the deaf people, innit."

Computer Virus
I think I'm allergic to the office. I keep getting ill far more often than I ever used to before I worked here. There are several possible factors causing my body to react negatively. My guess is f.
a) Being surrounded by lots of hairy blokes talking about Python and Erlang.
b) Lingering smell of last week's Chinese food in the office
c) Temperamental air-conditioning system
d) Festering keg of home-brew bitter sitting in the corner
e) Greasy lunches at the Irish pub
f) All of the above

Ya Mo Be There
From time to time I have some Isley Brothers tunes on my mp3 player. Bizarrely, whenever their cover version of the Doobie Brothers' song "Listen to the Music" comes on, I happen to be walking past the Michael McDonald lookalike who works at Chiswick Park station. Coincidence or what?
