OT-For our Irish Cousins
PLEASE NOTE THE TERM 'POLITICALLY INCORRECT' IS NOW CONSIDERED
OFFENSIVE TO POLITICIANS: No more brainstorming is allowed at the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment in Belfast, Ireland. While staffers maybe, just maybe, will be allowed to think in groups, they can't call it "brainstorming" anymore "on the grounds that it may be deemed pejorative," a DETI spokeswoman says. How's that? The word, they figure, might, just perhaps, be somehow offensive to people with various brain disorders. Employees have been ordered to use the term "thought-shower" instead. (London Observer) ...Sounds reasonable, since apparently several managers there have a brain disorder. "Considering the events of recent years, the world has a long way to go to regain its credibility and reputation with the US." unknown |

The term 'brainstorm' is an oxymoron when applied to politicians. Most
don't seem to have any. Recent events in London wouldn't have made the second page if it had happened in Tel Aviv. They endure those things almost every day. That doesn't make the bombing any less horrendous. Bugs |

I just sent one of my glare guards to Belfast. I hope it's safe there. I'll see if the buyer will send photos of it in combat for my website. Surprisingly, they bought basic black instead of the new camo version. - Press HERE to arm. (Release to detonate.) ----------- http://diversify.com Website Application Programming |

Ms Whitebread, the HR dragon at the old puzzlepalace, let us know that the terms "spook project" and "black project" should not be used. Ms Whitebread didn't get past the doors with the dials, so it didn't change anything. |
