The Antarctic wind can never take from the killing ground. In any case I don't know what the senior program manager put through on her log. I was there and I heard every word been spoken about prepending and appending urls through the core stack and although it all made sense, from a technical point of view, I came over all numb. The prepend/append url spiel is like a party trick that the stack engineer produces at every meeting. Here he comes, quick, hide the markers. He's up! Damn, too late, he's already at the whiteboard diagramming. We get the same clues, no matter what the question is.
Let me see. Is it a book? A movie? A computer network. Three letters. First letter, 'W'. OK. Third letter, 'W'. What could be the second letter? “T”. No. “J”. No. Wait. Whoa. WTF? 'W'. Each time it happens, and it happens every time, a piece inside of me dies.

TeeChip bleeps:
First indipindint high pay reviewe in a number of years to look at a whole end of the public service. Politicians are 5% of that overall review. Benchmarking against the private sector and as far as the government (me) is concerned that's it. Keeping the money.
Q: You're getting paid more than George Bush.
T: Oi don't have the Elysse Palace or The White House. There is no comparison and I think people know that. Mumble mutter nutter stutter they don't mind the public. Sure what do I care, oim ourra here in a couple of years for a million five to a big job in Europe.
Q: Your pay rise alone is higher than the average industrial rage?
T: Mumble stumble we're only TDs and we don't think benchmarking against the no-position is nonsensical really blah bludder that's a nice anorak where'd you get an anorak like dat?

Random woman in arbitrary supermarket: Abour 40c on the litre of milk. From 109 to 149 cent. Me shopping bill is gone over 200 euro from 100. Everything is just jumping ten and twenty cent in the past few weeks.

The only thing that has gone up by close to as much as the Taoiseach's salary lately has been the price of bread and the rate of violent crime. Oh, and average summer rainfall.

Do you believe the kids should be banned from driving? Y or N?

38k is a lot of soft furnishings. You could even put up new curtains in the whole Whitehouse. What would Dick Cheney think to do with tiebacks, I ask myself.

And in spite of her implicating herself in the series of communications failures, Ms Kelly who was among the high-ranking civil servants awarded a substantial pay rise yesterday and other senior officials in transport were exonerated by Mr Dempsey last night.

We asked the Gardai to come on and explain but they were unavailable. All of them.

All pretence of humility is evaporated:
The inflation-busting 14% increase raises the Taoiseach's annual salary to 310,000 and makes him one of the highest paid leaders in Europe. Mr Ahern will earn 10 times the average Irish industrial wage and four times that of French president Nicholas Sarkozy.

The end is in sighs.

The Wiffo character only says one thing, which he usually barks out, and then he bites whoever he's talking to: "Look. It's very simple." The Billy character has a moustache/monobrow on his forehead can't stop chattering restlessly until he completely contradicts himself about anything and everything.
