but this seemed like to place to put this item doing rounds - it was a link in relation to that chappy who quit his flight attendant job sliding down the emergency chute beer in hand.

oh really? sorry. I followed it through from a times.com article, and work didn't block it. happy to edit of delete if a problem. didn't occur to me it was a blocked site. basically it's an article about a girl who resigned by sending an email with bunch of pictures on a white board explaining her reasons. kind of amusing but not that great.

A woman walked into a pub and asked the barman for a double entendre. So he gave it to her.

I almost posted the same thing...I imagine the blocking is due to the site, it does have a variety of NSFW stuff on it for sure.

Agree. I thought it was very funny yesterday - too bad it's not true.
