lexikay - that's a 100+ post thread right there 'why are women bosses bitches?'

I've learnt that if you hover your mouse over the 'freshness' time it tells you who last posted, and that if you click on it.. it takes you to their post. I clearly don't spend enough time on the forum... how long's it done that?

Maybe I should start one... Or, 'reasons why my boss is extremely annoying?' - I could fill in at least 100 reasons right now.

[i]that my girlfriends pump doesn't work on my tubes[/i]
Have you tried viagra? ๐Ÿ˜‰

I've learned today that...
you have to manually create an IP pool on the infranet controller if you enable 'always use a virtual adaptor' when trying to establish an IPSEC tunnel between an odyssey client and an enforcement point..despite the documentation stating specifically that you don't need to do it.

British Gas are without doubt the most useless bunch of idiots I've ever known. Their incompetance is only matching by their lackluster attempts to pretend they're doing anything about the fundamentally flawed solution they sold me.

In the american version of the apprentice, people who win a challenge get to go to the playboy mansion and frolic in the pool with lovelies in bikinis.

That it is possible to remove the rear crankshaft seal from a low floor Dennis dart by an improvised method involving self tapping screws, big washers and M16 nuts without removing the bell housing, thereby saving a couple of hours work.

That the back road from Trollhattan to Gothenburg is very twisty. And that working in a moving taxi makes you ill. On the upside, also learnt that Saab cloth seats are surprisingly easy to sponge clean.

That 20yr old boys think it's ok when having a shower, to dismantle the shower (electric) while it's still running and he's still stood under it, and then randomly poking about inside with a metal nail file, will 1, fix the dribble, and 2, is perfectly safe, and I'm a stupid old git for thinking otherwise ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

I learned how to make windows 7 PCs network together:

You have to reinstall everything - remember to fail at every hurdle, including driver and BIOS ๐Ÿ˜ฏ updates. Next, run out of time and go to pick up the kids from school. On returning you'll see that pixies set it all up for you and all you have to do is join the workgroup (something the previous 2hrs failed to deliver despite repeated tries).
