Re: Idiots

Many years ago, back when laptops where not the sort of thing many people could buy for themselves and were still comparatively rare in business the team the Mrs used to work for was split between the head office and the London office. It was common that after team meetings in London they'd all pile off down the pub to talk non-work, or at least less-work, bollocks and drink beer celebrating the fact that London meant public transport and so beers after work was OK. So each of a dozen or so people heads off to a well know hostelry and each is now lugging 2->3KG of laptop with a list price of over a couple of grand. Now what do you do with all those heavy bags?

Well you leave them in a stack in the corner of the pub of course

That way you can concentrate of talking bollocks and drinking beer

Once sufficient beers has been consumed you start thinking about where to go for a curry

At which point you head off to the corner of the pub only to discover that the whole pile of laptops has gone AWOL.

The boss can't give you a hard time because the boss's laptop was in the pile along with everyone else's.
