What bemused you today?

[Graham]

My work situation, actually it's been bemusing me for weeks. Just after we managed to increase our office staff by 3 extra people our workload appears to have died off by a huge percentage. Now instead of three of us sitting around divying up a meager workload there's six of us sitting around most afternoons twiddling our thumbs. Makes for a really long day. 

    Hey Spinner, tell me about it!
                                               Perhaps you could try something like this.

Michael Mann.  http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8381317.stm

He's spent the best part of a decade trying to erase any trace of the Little Ice Age and the Medieval Warm Period from the climate records (AKA 'The Hockey Stick', see also anything you like under 'Climategate' - the best bit there is Trenberth, leading IPCC author admitting that he hasn't got a clue, actually, about how the climate works, but I digress), and now he claims to have suddenly found the reason he thinks they happened. Seems he finally read something Lindzen has published. And then copied it was inspired to recreate it.

You've got to admire the man's chutzpah.

Just read a BBC story about the Department for Energy and Climate Change; the ministries of Truth, Peace and Plenty surely cannot be far behind.

Was'nt Mandelson going to be made Minister for Information - very 1984?  No-one was really sure if it was a case of Joseph Goebels or Comical Ali though

We already have a Ministry for Justice... which makes me think of Judge Dread!

Was sitting in front of my office computer at lunch somewhat bored and started to peruse my rather long list of bookmarks built up over many bored lunches, when I cam apon the old DCM one. Clicked it out of curiosity and of course it took me to PR. Still bored I went to the forums and what do I find? A certain, pompous, nasty, blowhard is still there, still pompous and nasty and still defending himself under the guise of offering honest criticism. I guess for him it never gets old.

And was he still awarding every ones picture just 1 star?

The thread that caught my eye had him whining that he planned to 1 star a POTD but knew he'd be attacked so gave it 2. Magnanimous to a fault.

He hasn't changed, as he had a go at me a couple of times.  

In another thread, which asks for advice about which DSLR to buy, he claims you don't need a DSLR just a compact!
