    I despair, I really do..

    In the space of 3 e-mails I've been told somebody needs something "as
    very ASAP as possible", they've since expressed their "Extreme thanks"
    and now have ended the most recent e-mail "Take great care".. which
    only sounds acceptable if read with a mafia accent IMHO :eek:)

    I'm begining to wonder if sir.tony started teaching people to write e-
    mails.

    So, what's the most bizarre expression any of you lot has heard today?

    "A weekly reboot to easier servers maintenance is planned to be
    implemented on all the Unix box every Sunday at 6:30 am"

    to be fair, this came from a frog.

    Something like "... thus ensuring voucherization universality".

    To be fair it was at a geeky Java conference in the States.

    I also got "educationalize" from the same conference. A great three
    days for bullshit bingo.

    Well, I could progress forwards and really push the envelope
    in order to comply with your request, Ginge, but I'm
    really not incentivised enough.

    I once saw a packet of frozen fish that had "Grillable, Ovenable and
    Microwaveable" written on it.[1]

    [1] Though to be fair, it didn't claim to be edible.
