I'm going to get my dad an ipod for xmas. He's 67 and most technology baffles him and he types with one finger but i figure it can't be hard to learn how to use can it?
It's better than a pair of 'novelty' socks though innit? Parents are hard to buy for.

A member of staff working for a key client has done something egregiously stupid.
She asked me a couple of months ago if she could do it and I said (luckily I've kept the email): "No, that's in breach of X, Y, Z policy."
She pushed back asking if any exception could be made as she really wanted to do this thing and she thought the policy didn't apply (to her, or the situation).
I responded: "I disagree. This is exactly the sort of scenario the policy was designed to address. The answer is still no. I don't know how to make myself any clearer."
And she did it anyway. She got caught, the shit hit the fan and her defence was that I didn't make it clear enough that she shouldn't do this thing.
Aaarrggghhh.

Most of them are crap but I have to try them to find out, so when I saw a new bottle of red from South Africa for ￥500, I had to give it a try.
Well, I think I have found my new poison.
Anyone ever heard of Versus Winery before?

What iconic item would you associate with your country?
It's awfully annoying but in South Africa, I would go with the vuvuzela.

So how many backpackers that are Vegans will protest and boycott travel to Nepal due to the Hindu Festival starting in which they slaughter 250,000 buffalo, sheep and chicken with swords?
Maybe 3....

I hope this note finds you doing well!!! December 13th of this year marks the day that our lovely mother turns the big 5-0!! This is not only a day to celebrate, but also an occasion that should last. We toyed with the idea of throwing a big 50th birthday party, but decided instead that a SURPRISE vacation would be the gift that would allow her to cut loose and really celebrate the event. Mom has made our birthdays feel so special and memorable, so in honor of her big milestone, Jennifer and I would like to send her (along with Earl) on a Mexican vacation. Jennifer and I will be funding the majority of the expense, but would like to ask for contributions to help make the vacation a truly special one. Any donations will be GREATLY APPRECIATED! Mom will be so touched to know that all her family and friends joined together to give her an unforgettable celebration. Thanks so much!... more »

The Swedish govt won't nationalize Saab? Brand nears extinction ? Would European govts have abandoned their workers (& "national car brands") had this happened 10, 20 years ago ?

Or George Bush, or Ronald Reagan... because they were "White"?
Barry is really unpopular, if you ignore the racists who like him.

For your life I mean?
Or are you drifting along?
I was just looking at photos from the trip I was on 10 years ago.. I really had no plan at all, I just wanted to travel as much as I could. Earn money, spend money on travelling, stop and work, earn money, spend money and travel. I was bumming around sleeping on floors, living in hostels, getting down to £1 in a bank before getting a panic cash job, getting it up a bit then moving on. It was GREAT. I have no idea though what I'd have thought of what I'm doing right now.
