The Office, yes, thanks for putting me on to that one.

Of course my office is nothing like that............

I have a friend who actually cannot watch it for exactly that reason. As much as they admire the writing, acting and directing skills, it's too close to what they put up with at work every day. Which is probably, ironically, the series' ultimate accolade.

Alexander's Horse · July 20, 2003, 21:43

Yes it was brilliant stuff.

finbar · July 21, 2003, 02:19

From a failed stand-up comic and a guy who wrote sketches for a breakfast radio show. There's hope for us yet.

Alexander's Horse · July 21, 2003, 03:00

I'm hoping to star in the documentary version.

As Dawn? How are you at answering the phone?

Tina Turner playing in the background?

Not quite loud enough.

We had an office ep worthy event at work today. This lunatic secretary organised a demonstration of "how to use the new photocopiers." The woman is feared and loathed by all so a gaggle of about 10 officers duly attended the presentation from the photocopy company "expert", who wore a bad wig and looked like a drunk. In fact he was a drunk. The people attending were mortified by the proceedings which lasted about an hour.

When I was told what was going on I amused myself by pulling faces at one of the attendees trying to make him laugh, walking past the group with a supercilious look my face trying to make eye contact, mimicking the presenter, that sort of thing.

Hydey · July 23, 2003, 07:00

No wonder our public sevice seems to have run off the rails.

Hydey · July 23, 2003, 08:00

My new boss is having a ~~piss up~~ quiet beer to welcome me into the company this Friday arvo.

I may be at my very ~~worst~~ best by Friday evening

finbar · July 23, 2003, 08:14

Did you discover that between your 9pm and 10pm? If not, why wait another hour to post it?

Hydey · July 23, 2003, 08:20

I just thought about it, I was busy ~~spamming~~ posting well thought out comments.

trev · July 25, 2003, 10:45

worked late tonight, Sunday must rise by about 4.30am for a trip to airport, so will not play tomorrow night either

Makeo · July 25, 2003, 10:48

aaaggghhh that is unacceptable. i only have the one game a week.

sorry but you'l lhave to just stay up all night.

Hydey · July 26, 2003, 06:48

I agree with Makeo.

I vote that Trev stays up all night so we can play

Alexander's Horse · July 27, 2003, 21:45

Its amazing what one can do by pressing random

Horse tried to host at first but neither Makeo nor myself could connect for some reason so I tried and connection without problem and a clean start

Have you found out the problem yet Horse?

Makeo · July 31, 2003, 08:59

i'm thinking of attempting to play while at work.

finbar · July 31, 2003, 09:04

Why not? I do.

atawa · July 31, 2003, 12:00

My company thought of that and didnt install CD-players on our comps

finbar · July 31, 2003, 19:11

Luckily I work from home. It's only my wife who wants to rip the CD-player out of the machine.

Alexander's Horse · July 31, 2003, 20:24

Friday night is civ night. Friday night is civ night.

And if the Wallabies don't improve soon, Saturday night could be civ night too.

Not while there's breath in my body.

Talk about a rash statement.

Alexander's Horse · July 31, 2003, 20:45

I'm going to post this on the rugby thread too - I think there's an ever so slight whiff of racism and the out-of-towner syndrome in the shellacking George and Eddy are getting.

finbar · July 31, 2003, 21:55

I'm not sure about that. I think it's a typical Australian response. Remember when Steve Waugh had the bad trot? Mark Taylor? Love 'em when they're winning, crucify 'em when they're down.
