From here An Open Letter To American Express | Cracked.com Dear American Express, How are you? I know how hard this global recession has been on everyone, so I thought I’d check in on an old friend. We have had a professional relationship for over ten years. Me? Well, I’m getting by...

It's a funny thing about delays.. I know they happen and if informed, people will generally be quite forgiving. After all, safety is paramount. It only takes a moment to let people know the reason behind a delay, and indeed letting people know does nothing really to speed up the fix. However...

This won't last. Kansas tried the same stunt years ago and the US Supreme Court ruled it out completely. I'm just trying to find the link now..

Is there anything on at the Rhein-Donau club re Oktoberfest?

Last time I was sent to the BA Terraces Lounge. Small but perfectly OK, the (sparse) food was fine too.

A man comes home from an exhausting day at work, plops down on the couch in front of the television, and tells his wife, “Get me a beer before it starts.” The wife sighs and gets him a beer. Fifteen minutes later, the man says, “Get me another beer before it starts.” She looks cross...

See? Told you it was confusing! OT but i remember the first time I went to BKK and they stamped my passport as having arrived in the year 2525 (?!) I always thought that was a 60s song..

I used to work supporting a COBOL based accounting product. It was pretty stable - we did have a few fun issues, such as it wouldn't accept that 29 Feb 2000 was a real day. Years such as 1600,1700,1800 and 1900 were not leap years. For some reason the software thought that 2000 was also not a...
