Dilbert's Rules of Order
Having just received this (again), I thought I ought to post it, for the benefit of L&L's use 
… and of course, many others:
1. I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow is not looking good either.
2. I love deadlines. I especially like the whooshing sound they make as they go flying by.
3. Tell me what you need, and I'll tell you how to get along without it.
4. Accept that some days you are the pigeon and some days the statue.
5. Needing someone is like needing a parachute. If they aren't there the first time, chances are you won't be needing them again.
6. I don't have an attitude problem, you have a perception problem.
7. My reality check bounced.
8. On the keyboard of life, always keep one finger on the escape key.
9. I don't suffer from stress. I am a carrier.
10. Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
11. Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
12. A pat on the back is only a few centimeters from a kick in the butt.
13. Don't be irreplaceable -- if you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.
14. The more crap you put up with, the more crap you are going to get.
15. You can go anywhere you want if you look serious and carry a clipboard.
16. Eat one live toad the first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.
17. If it wasn't for the last minute, nothing would get done.
18. When you don't know what to do, walk fast and look worried.
19. Following the rules will not get the job done.
20. When confronted by a difficult problem, you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question, "How would the Lone Ranger handle this?"

Timbo, I like it! :D (Snips and copies.....)
As you say, it looks familiar, but it's worth sending round again. I particularly like No.1. Might try it out on my wife when she gets home tonight.... (don tin helmet first of course.... )

Just thought i would show a different humanitarian side to my past posts that some have either knocked or not appreciated .
I am the only 1 left with the rx8 . ha ha ha
Question:
If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like the following:
Answer:
There would be: 57 Asians, 21 Europeans, 14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south and 8 Africans.
52 would be female and 48 would be male.
70 would be non-white and 30 would be white.
70 would be non-Christian and 30 would be Christian.
6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth and all 6 would be from the United States.
80 would live in substandard housing.
70 would be unable to read.
50 would suffer from malnutrition.
1 would be near death;
1 would be near birth.
1 (yes, only 1) would have a college education.
1 would own a computer.
The following is also something to ponder...
If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more fortunate than the million who will not survive this week.
If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the lonliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation, you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.
If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death...you are more fortunate than three billion people in the world.
If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep...you are richer than 70% of this world.
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace...you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.

Saddam and Osama in disguise
For those that may require an explanation it shows saddam and osaman in traditional HASSIDIC (orthodox jews clothing walking past the wailing wall)

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE let's not start down the the path of religion.
Believe what you want about how we came to be here, but don't start on religion - it's killed almost as many threads as it has people.

Probably a good time to say lets keep politics and religion out of this place. Unless it is the Rotary Religion Or the CAR political party (Citizens Against Rice). I better stop there. My LS1 mates like to eat rice for dinner.
I am sure there are numerous forums for discussing all that stuff. Even ones for giving waitresses driving lessons.
So - new topic...
Punter did well in the Cricket, hey? The Aussies really played themselves back into that match in impressive fashion.
Wildcard and I did some interesting experiments with the RE Intake this afternoon. Look out for the results soon. He is out tonight doing some measured performance tests.
Cheers,
Hymee.

Performance tests postponed due to a little run-in with the boys (and lady) in blue. No fine (must have been L&L's mates) but I decided to put the rest of the testing on hold until they clear the playing field.

Punter did do well in the cricket. I can't remember what he did in Adelaide, since I was sitting on the Hill watching the game. This involves sitting on the Hill not watching the game. But it does involve beach *****, beer, cheering, booing, beer cup snakes, more cheering and booing, and constantly walking that fine line between being entertained, and being thrown out.

Loungers .....
Now that its 2004 we really need to clean up .. the landlords inspection is due any week and who knows how we can run this forum if we get evicted ...
And on the topic of lousy money hungry policing ... last night I saw a radar with the 2 cops standing on the medium strip on the approaches to an 80 zone at 12.30 ... HAPPY NEW YEAR .. not!!!
What annoys me even more - on the 55km round trip I didn't see a single RBT unit ...
I know at my age I shouldn't be surprised but this is so useless .....

I'll clean the Bar up, and give the Grill a de-scale.
Dez - you can give the carpet a vacuum, and clean out the racks.
Kev - you can get all the crumbs out from under the seats.
Pepe & Timbo - you can check all the magazines and throw out any offensive material.
L&L - you can check with the bouncers, and also tidy up your action room. You need to throw all those balloons away.
And my mind is blank, so everyone else can volunteer for the other jobs!

I've heard it looks good.
Got pulled over by the cops (again) yesterday pulling out of a Hungry Jacks carpark. I couldn't remember if it was a stop sign or a give way sign as I pulled out, but feared the worst, because I didn't make a complete stop. Turns out the police officer just wanted to take a look at the car as he is thinking about buying one! Asked me to pop the bonnet and everything. Nice guy, but nothing beats that sinking feeling when you see those lights in your mirror though.... I'm getting too old for this sh*t!

Hey Wildone .... maybe the true lesson is to avoid junk food ... hehehehe
Seriously - its a horrible feeling when you see those lights ....
Think of the positive thought - you now have at least one sympathetic officer who may be liberal in his/her view on our cars...
