  Frank,

  I haven't played in a while, but I would like to partake in your newfangled virtual-reality chess tournament.

  How do you envisage communicating the sequentional "moves" to one another? If it is via PM'ing should we

  use terms such as "Queen's Rook Three Forward"? And/or do you think we should have a chess board all

  set up, awaiting instructions?

  Otherwise...I think Gambit's link is one that we could all hook up onto?

  as we entered a door of the administration building we did not head to the elevator to take us up the eight floors to the main administration floor.

  i looked around the room and asked, "what's up with her?

  i was going to work with the elder from hell who ran the photography department.

  I'm enjoying these "Bethel" threads tremendously, Dave, and evidently so is everyone else! How many minutes until episode IV?

  You mentioned that you are dyslexic and I wondered why you don't use a spell-checker. Then I thought that the reason you

  don't is because you couldn't be certain that the suggested replacement word was spelled correctly or not, as you are dyslexic!

  I assume the same premise applies for a grammatical error.

  Great posts!

  Corporate stupidy (doors and blind people)

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i work for a large company.

  the site i am on has several thousand people on it.. some of them are stupid.. to be fair, i think it's the group-think effect that creates corporate stupidity where no one has the gumption or the energy to stand up and say "this is a dumb idea".. the latest example of this happened today.

  we've been in the current open-plan office for about 2 years.

  Simon,

  This is the same company that arrange to have a 100% blind man work as a web designer !!

  So that explains why we get so many glitches on this Forum!

  (Please don't delete me, Simon, I like blind people!)

  2. friends

  until recently, i hadn't gotten drunk in yrs, like maybe 20 yrs.

  recently, i felt like doing it.

  so, wanting to be balanced christian, i was just wondering how often would be optimal.

  SS,

  You need to check in to a non-alcoholic's association. You will have to state that you are a non-alcoholic (embarrasing)

  and your name.
