….of the “skip every second line” in performance reviews (below), Arnold Schwarzenegger does it with style

Bob Smith, my assistant programmer, can always be found
hard at work in his cubicle. Bob works independently, without
wasting company time talking to colleagues. Bob never
thinks twice about assisting fellow employees, and he always
finishes given assignments on time. Often Bob takes extended
measures to complete his work, sometimes skipping coffee
breaks. Bob is a dedicated individual who has absolutely no
vanity in spite of his high accomplishments and profound
knowledge in his field. I firmly believe that Bob can be
classed as a high-caliber employee, the type which cannot be
dispensed with. Consequently, I duly recommend that Bob be
promoted to executive management, and a proposal will be

executed as soon as possible.

>The benefits of age

Damian Christie over at Public Address laments about his never having walked the Auckland Harbour Bridge and is going the rather masochistic route of running a HALF MARATHON in order to fulfill his dream.

Silly boy.

I did it on 24 May 1959 and didn’t even break into a sweat.

Oldfartness does have its benefits, then.

Hope you’ll wear a prick-ish looking hat in solidarity, Damian

That’s what Excel would say to this.

Unless, of course, it’s a street sign in South Tyrol, where everything’s in German and Italian.

That could be it…

The routine 3’s appear to be practiced at a different time south of the Alps.

Maybe they get up late.

A touch of inadvertent grossness in Austria with the usual Denglish background

Now, HERE’s a latte machiatto served by a really hot flossy in a cafe in Bolzano.
She appears to have taken a liking to me.
Nice labrador, she had.
And a very stylish white cane…..

Scene/seen at the Bar Senesi in Bolzano.
Dude fronts up, orders an espresso macchiato, drinks it on zero seconds flat, pays his €1 and is gone quicker than a farter out of church…
