Paging the chateau owners

Bizzare though it seems, until you consider the level of UK debt to GDP and
the trading of oil in Euro.

Gordon may be wishing he had retired too.

 

I bet he wishes he hadn't sold our gold reserves and bought dollars with
them, just before it crashed.

 

"Double Whammy"

 

I never understood why he did that

in fact I thought at the time that it was either a crazy idea or he was
following the David Icke manual of how to become a lizard in the lower
4th dimension

 

Does that mean the Higgs Boson is going to remain elusive too?

 

Given the problems I'm having getting our Grid User Interface
rebuilt, yes!

Look, it's a silly thought, but...

You *have* checked down the back of the sofa, haven't you?

 

Job for life, eh ?

 

Which brain the size of a planet came up with GUI, then? Thet's going to
cause a little confusion!

 

To be fair, it's usually called the UI, but it is for submitting jobs
to the Grid.

Anything I find down the back of the sofa probably belongs to Andy.
I don't think it'd have the solution to:
wrong format: ['Traceback (most recent call last):\n',

I may have to learn more python... (AFAICT parseSOAPRPC is defined
in SOAPpy/Parser.py[c])

I was reliably informed that for the UK's input for the first Gulf war
the RAF had a problem getting a full squadron of Tornado aircraft
together. So they selected the aircraft that had the best maintenance
and reliability record to form a combined squadron to support the "UN"
push to get the Iraqis out of Kuwait. Some wit gave it the title of 'The
Combined United Nation Tornado Squadron'. Which was only changed when
the squadron flew out and some one 'up top' realised what the acronym
was.

It could be an RAF tale but it made me laugh when I first heard it.

 

If that story's true, I'm a Certified Unix Network Technician.

 

The similar "City University of Newcastle upon Tyne" story is meant to
be true, but I can't find a reliable source.

 

Ditto for the Cambridge University New Testament Society.

 

Well, I've seen The Flinders University Choral Society, and there
were lots of other clubs there starting with C. I used to have a sign for
cheering Intervarsity sport in Canberra, "Up the ANUs!"

Grrr... A known bug; parseSOAPRFC imports fpconst but in the
distribution that's in its own directory that's not appended to PYTHONPATH.
The traceback was truncated.
