A stony silence, that silence that comes from asking “what’s wrong?” and being told that “no_thing is wrong”, each syllable marked with an exclamation mark, hurled ferociously out of the passenger window. I’m already tetchy, we’ve a long journey ahead of us, I really don’t want it to be a frosty silent one, so I [...]

The usual caveat, that none of this is true, it must be made up because it’s all to freaking surreal:
The new QA started work today, nobody from senior management bothered to tell the QM, as per previous entry, she’s still not even been consulted on the suitability of this person, nor has there [...]

Just to point out for the hard of hearing, this did not happen today, okay, it’s all made up, the series of events described below did not unfold.
Flammable Stores at our place are kept most securely under lock and key.
The key is logged out and back in again in a special book, witnessed [...]

It does however have spin, we can measure the spin in the lab which matches the mathematical construct which describes these point-particles and their predicted behaviour. And what is found is that for [...]

Cofgodas (“cove gods”) were Anglo-Saxon household gods related to the German kobolds and equivalent to the Roman penates. It is generally accepted that the English “Hob” and Scottish “Brownie” are the modern survival of the cofgod. They were the family’s own guardian spirits, belonging only to it. They were never worshipped [...]

So being as though the World and his Dog are all suddenly conscious of the mid-winter festival binge and feel it’s now time to spend money on gym memberships which we’ll use thrice, and buy exercise dvd’s which we’ll use twice then hide on the book case, I thought I’d share a story [...]
