Blues Shark - For people who like this sort of thing, then this is just the sort of thing they'll like Started conversation May 26, 2003
Well, not today as such. It's bank holiday monday and it *was* a bit of a bore, but it was a good weekend.
I'd like to thank my employers for making it possible by paying for me to go to London on Friday and do a ridiculous amount of work (about one hour total), enabling me to have lunch with someone quite special to me, and find time to buy that new pair of so expensive boots I've been wanting for the last year.
I'd like to say 
to Ed and Bob for making me laugh down the pub, and tolerating me in their flat until three in the morning, not to mention feeding me tea and chocolate 
.
I'd like to thank my good taste for my CD collection which has kept me entertained for the last two days.
And I'd like to thank those members of this community who have helped to keep me sane over the last month. No names, no pack drill, to avoid 
es, but I'm sure you know who you are.

Tube - the being being back for the time being Posted May 26, 2003
Uh... what is that "sane" concept you are talking about?
Tube
15 hours sleep, 60 hours work in four days

My sleep ratio is little better than yours, my friend, though not because of work. The insomnia demon has struck me bad.
As for 'sane', well this is of course a purely relative term...

Yes, as in compared to a treeful of monkeys, you're sane...

One or two monkeys would be enough, I'd have thought. Never mind a tree ful...

Look at it this way, the more monkeys, the saner you seem...

Are you sure about that? Please show workings to show how you arrived at this answer...

Compared to the sanity level of a single monkey, you are kind of sane.
Two monkeys increases the insanity level, therefore you look saner in comparision.
Increase the number of monkeys to a treefull (say, 20) and you have a lot of insanity, next to which you appear to be a paragon of good mental health.
Clear now?

Yup.
Though I think it is a logical fallacy...

It may well be, but at 1000 the day after a bank holiday that's not an idea I'm prepared to go into...

Nope, merely trying to preserve the state of half asleep for as long as humanly possible. On a good day, I don't need to wake up properly at all...

And they say they don't know why the railways aren't getting any better?

Hey, most of my job can be performed just as wel on autopilot than if I was totally awake, alert, and bright eyed and bushy tailed. I fear the state won't last much longer today however. We're three people down in the department toady, and there's only five of us to start with

Mmm. Suddenly I have to deal with consultants, something I'd previously left with my imbecile of a boss... Oh well, it's only 'till Thursday

**wanders in to see what's going on**
**shakes head in disbelief**
You sad, sad people...
And while you're about it - leave those poor little monkeys alone - they don't deserve to be chased up that tree like that

Good point, let's find something that does deserve to be chased up a tree... Ah, Whisky, come 'ere
