Why? Is it stuffing up Labour's boy:girl ratios?

So two calls last night 6:55 & 9:10, the first one saw a 72hr cease notice, and the 9:10 one saw the music finally stop at 9:45pm and I haven't heard it since.

Working way through a "draft for Discussion' document written by a Government Department. The use of acronyms is so bloody prolific it makes it almost impossible to read, a two page document with 9 different acronyms used multiple times.  I want to go find the person who wrote it and BTFOTHWAS (Beat the fucker over the head with a stick).

Do you actually think there will be an end to this middle-management way of speaking, working etc? Surely there must come a day when someone with enough influence goes "hang on what does these people actually do?"

its crept its way into textbooks or study notes too. Drives me mad reading through material and not understanding the acronyms. Or having to think twice about what they are. 

Makes it hard to actually learn it, for me anyway. Sometimes its handy, by mostly It's just lazy. I suspect in a business context some people use them a lot in an attempt to sound professional (much like the overuse of 'buzzwords') - which is retarded.

It is crazy. In all the "Business Communication" courses I have ever done, admittedly these are numerous years ago, it was spelt out clearly to avoid jargon and acronyms. Having to go back and find the meaning drives you nuts. It took me the best part of an hour to read and sort of understand two pages!

A lot blame I think falls at the feet of Schools and Universities that demand essays of 3000 words. This just results in people padding out with meaningless drivel to meet the word count. Surely if you can say what needs to be said in 500 words, that is all the better.

8:00am Friday Morning - Another call to noise control (After the 9:45pm off, it cam back on at 6:30am), this call resulted in getting the email address of the head of noise control, worded an email to him and got no reply.

9:00am Friday - ANOTHER visit from the noise control group (Not sure why it took an hour), no music since.

More a reference to him playing with the core of the Germany team at Bayern I think LG.

I hate Robben, so much. I hate it even more when he's playing well as he's incredibly effective and quite unlike anyone else. I think the Dutch would have been my favourite of the semifinalists if it wasn't for him.

You know we belong together...

No one doubts he is a very talented individual, but it frustrates the crap out of me that he has to cheat so much and fall over as soon as someone looks at him. He is a fool unto himself. He will always be known as a diver rather than as the talented player he is.

I thought this post was a pisstake - doesn't everyone hate Robben for being a diving cheat? It's just unfortunate that as well as being that he's also a very good footballer.

Plus he looks like a giant veiny penis.

How the Phoenix organisation can make a massive effort and successfully get 2 EPL teams to come and play at Westpac and then employ the Top Twinns to keep us entertained and think it is a great idea. What did we do wrong to deserve this David? We bought the tickets, what more did you want?

A week out from an historical NZ football occasion and I should be feeling all tingly and happy.

Instead I'm just very sad for two fans who I never knew (and of course all the other people on the plane).

Whoever was responsible (of course it's pretty obvious who) - I hope you get cancer and aids and die in pain. You are a blot on humanity. Bellends.
