Disbenefits?! DISBENEFITS?!

I wouldn't even be a little bit surprised if Tea had actually heard someone he worked with use that phrase seriously. It gets that bad. My previously mentioned follicly-challenged manager also has a habit of insisting that you "flip" him rather than "send" him e-mails.

I suppose if the time is short enough that a "Hi how are you?" will suffice until the doors open up then it's not so bad. But if you're somewhere between that and the 45+ seconds that allows a conversation about the weather I can see some extremely awkward conversations occuring amongst the...

I saw Taylor Swift on a re-run of SNL last weekend. I'd never seen her before previously (except briefly in the clip of Kanye's famous Interruption). I have to say, she is maddeningly, almost frustratingly, cute.

I've also noticed that it causes people extreme discomfort to be in a lift with somebody they work with and not say anything. They get around this by talking about the weather, since they only have about 45 seconds. In the years I've worked at various offices I've rarely heard any other topic...

YES. (for some reason I can only capitalize that if I put more text underneath it.)

No quotes.

Yeah, this is like how they market jeeps and four-wheel drive SUVs. Useful and convenient - if you live and/or work in the Gobi desert. Until you run out of petrol that is.

This all being said, the other half of the year I spend at university where there is no less a presence of this kind of language, just different words.

I only wish my mum could've imparted me genes that would allow me to have an arse that doubled as artillery. Although I reckon some people I know would argue this is something I might not actually be in need of. Arsetillery?

Without office jargon the jobs of many middle-managers look ridiculous, redundant and certainly not worth the higher income they get paid. I have one manager right now, this pathetic try-hard with a obnoxiously loud and bleating nervous laugh, who speaks entirely in business-speak all of the...

On the topic of "We'd be fucked if this insect was gigantic" I give you: The Bombardier Beetle. That gigantic arse its got there? Oh that's only just a biological acid cannon. Read the description of how this thing works and just picture having something like that attached to your body: :eek:

Kindle is another one of those products that are so popular now (like the iPhone) where the company has invented a product you never needed or even thought about previously, convinced you that you you need it, subsequently made it smaller, instant and with more features, and then called it...

The coverage of this is a bit rich isn't it? The guy was an employee of MI5 who had worked in Fort Meade and Kabul decrypting codes likely used by the Taliban but it's more likely the reason he was murdered was because he was allegedly into a bit of bondage and gay sex? Who the fuck is going to...

It's so bizarre that security can confiscate your rizlas when, by the sounds of it, if you even so much thought about sparking up a spliff in there you'd be be ejected before you'd even taken a toke in your mind. Oh yeah, and because rizlas are not illegal.

Never really been much of a fan of B-Live but I can't deny that the two tracks he's got going about now (the one with Frisco and the one with the Gens) are hard.

That's what I thought Swamp 81's M.O. seemed to be at first, but then I realized after seeing the last three releases that it was basically only Kryptic Minds who were bringing that to the table. I don't even really like Kryptic Minds very much; they're a bit to self-consciously '06-styled...

Another co-sign here for the Junior Boys losing the plot a bit, though I thought that there were a couple cuts of that album Morgan Geist did with the singer that were quite good. Excited for this Darkstar LP, but cautiously so. I don't really know what to expect.

PS: Blackdown that LHF record is fucking MAD. Personalized big up to you, sir.

Thankfully, I am enjoying dubstep again. I was struggling with maintaining interest in it this year as I was beginning to get a bit depressed now that the wobble camp, Magnetic Man et-al have truly usurped the genre as a whole and taken the title of "Dubstep" itself with them (at least as far...
