  1. WTF?

    Like many of the France Telecom suicides, the man had been asked to change jobs as part of a restructure of the once state-owned company. Earlier this month - after the 23rd suicide - the Labour Minister, Xavier Darcos, summoned the head of France Telecom and demanded a more "humane" approach to the rebuilding of a company in which the state is still the largest share-holder.

    Trade union leaders said that the man who had taken his life in Haute-Savoie was known to have been "under pressure". He had been moved from a job dealing with business clients to a call-centre at Annecy which made "cold calls" to offer services to subscribers.

    So he went from being a "professional" to being a minimum wage-ish shill. Probably not enough reason to leave your two kids fatherless.

  2. A nice little thread for those songs that burned into your consciousness before their creator scurried back off into the ether.

    Songs that hit it super-big years/decades ago, then were promptly forgotten and relegated to the back shelves. Those little treasures that when they accidentally pop-up again on the present day you wonder how you ever forgot about them.

    Here's a nice start:

    Butthole Surfers - Pepper

  3. While Kiwi is way back at 9,991. Which isn't that much more than he had a bit back when I checked.

    I was growing afraid that he was avoiding posting to prevent making it to 10K before me.. so I did what I had to do to help him post more.

  4. Hit me, beat me, kick me, .......make me feel cheap! :lol:

    Reminds me of the guy that went to a doctor because he felt great but he looked and smelled terrible.

    Turns out he was a vagina.
