We're in a transition period at our office as we're moving from GE to Alstom.  Today we got an explanation of where our supply cabinets are located:

So working at Alstom is like playing Zork.  Thankfully my iPhone has a compass built in, or else I'd never be able to get supplies. 
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Finally, finally, finally trying to get my long delayed holiday booked....
I think I'm going to go down the route of two single flights, doesn't seem to be that much more than a return and lets me enter and leave from different places.

One cheap flight has a long stop over in Kuwait...
Yay? Or will I be beheaded?

We should start a pool.  While visiting Kuwait Josq will:

A. Be beheaded
B. Be flogged
C. Have nothing bad happen, but will still have a miserable time and complain about it incessantly.

At least no francophones in Kuwait.

It's from the Faeroe Islands, I'm pretty sure they've gutted whales before. :P

What, is that something bored teens do there, like "cow tipping"?

'Hey bro, let's get hammered and go gut some whales'?  ;)

It's a huge attraction to see whales gutted here whenever they beach on our shores.

The tourist industry there may need some development ...  :hmm:

It's not for tourists, it's Danes that go to see it. It's a family event.

Copenhagen Airport closed down for 2 hours because of a bomb threat, two idiots had joked about having a bomb in on of their suitcases. I really hope they get to cover the cost of the delays.

They were both Greeks and they've just been jailed until 2nd of December where they receive their sentence.

Apparently they went up to a female security officer and said they had a bomb in one of their bags and that one of them was the sought after terrorist from Paris. When asked if they were joking they said "no, this is real".

In a preliminary court session they said they "just wanted to have some fun with the beautiful woman security guard." :lol:

I'd guess there are better things online to experience than that in person.

Depends on taste, I suppose.

I think Languish is one example. :)

Yet you have probably met more of us in person than anybody else  :P

But then I guess that means you are well positioned to know :hmm:

Yeah just did a count and I'm at 18. I know Kat has higher than that.
