People half eating - half working at their desk and taking over an hour to eat a plate of food. Go away and take half an hour to concentrate on eating the damn stuff, you're not going to be any more productive picking at it like a bird. And don't get me started on the slapping, crunching and grinding noises you're making everyone else listen to.

Tough day in the office in the U.S. lad?

Everyone does it here.

What's worse is bringing food/snacks to staff meetings. Feckin slapping a big orange into them or last nights Chinese that feckin stinks the room out.

Agreed.

The Ancient Athenians used to allow annually their citizens vote another citizen into exile for a decade.

I think we should introduce this here, in the interests of democracy of course. I bet we would get a much higher turnout at election time as well.

Murphy, despite his Mayo connections, would be very high on my list.

The misuse of the hashtag.

Misuse or overuse?

Farrandeelin · August 26, 2015, 11:23:37 PM

Misuse. The # was (and for me it is) for cardinal numbers, as #45 etc. However this new fangled twitter and facebook has it doing all sorts of stuff.

Sadly it's this way to stay.

I don't like the term 'cardinal' numbers. It reminds me of incredible arrogance and refusing to resign.

I would prefer 'hashtag numbers'.
