Obviously on some level I hate black mould with a passion but at the same time it’s hard not to have some grudging respect for an organism which can apparently survive by eating silicone grout. Tell me the name of god you fungal piece of shit

I quit a large multinational as my manager was terrible. He gave me a rush project in my last fortnight, so I decided to write in in FORTRAN 77 (an approved language at the time). No-one else in our team knew it, so it had to be rewritten delaying the project. Boss got no bonus.

ok so it turns out that while not exactly a ludicrously fun time, the experience of getting a root canal is one of serene bliss and relaxation compared to the experience of needing one.

Did “Parliament Week” with the Scouts last week. About half of them could name the PM unprompted; all of them knew about this 😂
Great, I hope he kills it stone dead, an actual beneficial policy move for a change

i must have completely misunderstood the point of this question because the more time a candidate spent in the minutiae of how the mouse click gets through the USB driver, the more sickos.gif insta-hire I’d be. Extra points for every time I go “shit i hadn’t even thought of that”.
i love this question, the look of immediate regret when i start with "should we talk about the click handler? or just fetching the url part" and then go "well, first we need to talk about ethernet and ARP ... so nagle's algorithm ... tcp syn cookies ... nat ..." and we're ten minutes in already

There’s now a thread on the facebook group for people to post their step counts and this is about the middle of a range going up to 187k, which given that I’m not exactly renowned for taking these things easy is pretty fucking terrifying
My watch claims that I've taken 126,312 steps this weekend, and, because it doesn't have a concept of "dancing", thinks I've.. walked? run? 121.7km. I think that's a pretty decent weekend's raving, at any rate.

DJ questions to the audience are like barristers: only ask questions when you're sure you know what the answer will be, or it goes bad.
"Are you ready?!" - Nah mate just popping to the bar first
"Do you want some MORE?" - Not of this stuff, no, we preferred the earlier part of the set

DJs yelling at you to do stuff is much less annoying when they give you a reason:
“Make some noise!” - Play some music you wanker
“Make some noise for the site crew!” - hell yeah, great work folks
“Put your hands in the air!” - why?
“Put your hands up for Detroit” - yes sir absolutely sir
