Hmmm….I am blogging and surfing the net at work “instead of getting stuff done!” Found this funny video by Lev which we all can relate to. Enjoy!

The Broke Banks

Sunday, October 26th, 2008

This drawing was in part inspired by a joke I heard on Clive Anderson’s Chat Room – satirical talk show, on BBC Radio Two a fortnight ago.

I remember opening a bank account with Midland Bank (now HSBC) primarily because they offered me a free piggy bank. During my student days banks tried to entice me with beer mugs, Dalek key chains, rail cards, pop corn machines, bar fridges etc.

Later on, after graduation, they tried to lure me with cash offers, interest free overdrafts, higher interest rates and so on.

The current banking crisis has brought the safety of customer deposits into focus and banks have started using ‘trust’ as their selling point. To be honest, I am worried about my savings despite governments guaranteeing every penny. I must confess I even thought about keeping my savings in mattresses and shoe boxes.

Excuses, excuses..

From Left-handed toons

I still drink around 6-7 regular cups of coffee every day. In the evenings I usually drink around three schooners of beer in my local (except when I am on call).

My excuse: Well, it’s not much.

How do you rationalise your habits?

On Human Indifference

Sunday, April 27th, 2008

The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.

Just came across this quote by Albert Einstein. Is indifference worst of all human qualities? What do you think?

Am hurrying, but slowly.

The Book Helpdesk

Sunday, December 30th, 2007

This is hilarious and focuses on well known helpdesk issue. I love the bit where he compares the book to a scorll. Who knows, maybe people were apprehensive about books when they were first introduced.

The video was produced by the Norweigian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) and an official version was uploaded by them on to the Youtube when it topped the most viewed chart. The video is in Norwegian with English subtitles.
