    When I worked in Sweden some years ago, the managaer came to me and told me coffee at your desk was not allowed! We had to go to "fikarummet" (the coffe and dounut room) and also be social, and not ruin our keyboards. Sweden, where kids where helmets at home :)

    Well, this was in Lund at Semcon Engineering in maybe 1995?
    Very strict boss.
    Since this now is a thread about everything, he also told me when I was wearing a green shirt, "That's a really green shirt! you know shirts shell have to colors, white or blue."

    i wear a tin foil helmet for clarity of thought, the republicans have secret transmitters

    it's the only logical reason why some of my fellow countrymen think the way they do

    He meant the "flickarummet" I am sure! There relaxation will be guaranteed........

    Since we ended up with a hughe, rusty, corten steel circle attached to the entrance of a hotel I do not allow coffe cups on architects drawings anylonger!

    Originally, the train line was to run within Israeli territory on the edge of Mevasseret Zion, a town just west of Jerusalem and abutting the West Bank. But after residents objected, the line was moved 300 meters (yards) to the north, into the West Bank, cutting into the two Palestinian villages.

    "The Israeli planners decided to move the route into the military occupation's jurisdiction to avoid having to negotiate a compromise with Israeli citizens," Baum wrote in her report.

    You've made your beliefs about Israel abundantly clear. Please stop clubbing us about the head and shoulders with them, every time you see the slightest excuse for doing so.

    Kumbaya!
    Brilliant maneuver, this thread (and any others similar). Even two ultra-liberals are nearly pulling hair and scratching each other's eyes out! (Well, that's how liberals would fight, I suppose)
