Been drinking since 7am at the airport. At the company national awards down south. Picked up a special recognition award. Pure pleased given am usually forgotten. Stole a giant gnome from some other unit and some manager tagging along cleared all the wine and left prizes and cakes into my room. I strawberry floatin love going away 'on business'.

Apparently last year the while team nearly got lifted, so we're doing better than that. I see why we don't strawberry floating win anything. The Glasgow lot are a strawberry floating disgrace.

I need to buy Windows for a laptop for personal use. Which version should I be looking at getting and how much should I be paying?

Home.

Depends how risky you want to be. Microsoft give out the ISO to install for free, you just need a USB stick to put it on. Amazon have OEM keys available for around a tenner, from resellers of course. These keys are generally fine, but with it being OEM you can only use it on one machine (and only once, really) and Microsoft do have priors for just disabling these keys from time to time.

I bought one of these myself for Pro a few months back and no bother, and bought one for Home last weekend and thats fine too. They generally work out so much cheaper that even if its locked out and you have to buy another its still an £80 saving.

Alternatively go to your PC shop of choice, Scan, Overclockers, whatever - and buy a legit key and disk combo, around £80-£120.

Good Day

My name is Rt Hon Philip Hammond. I am the new Chancellor of the Exchequer (HM Treasury) in the United Kingdom. I am writing you with regards to your stalled funds transfer you have been expecting all these years. Please all correspondences should be sent to: I was specially instructed by the Office of the new Prime Minister (Theresa May) to embark on a personal review of all long pending and stalled International Transfer Files of all Banks Operating in the United Kingdom, including those at our Offshore Foreign Correspondent Banks in the last government,with a view of redeeming genuine cases of Transfers, and consigning others as bad debt. The office of the new Prime Minister has mandated me to ensure that all genuine claim and transfers are paid.

The Government of the U.K took this major step in addressing these problems of all stalled transfers as a result of the global financial crisis that has affected banks by establishing the HM Treasury Debt office to take over payment responsibility on behalf of all banks operating in the UK.The creation of the HM Debt office consolidates debt management functions by the new Prime Minister as a result of the global financial melt-down for ensuring proper coordination of all payments emanating for the U.K. The HM Debt office centralizes and coordinates the country's debt recording and management activities, including debt service forecasts; transfers payments; and advising on debt negotiations as well as new borrowings. It also provides for the establishment of a supervisory board that has oversight functions on all banks operating in the UK as well as endorsement of strategic thrusts and policies for the organization,consistent with the broad policy objectives of government.

Your transfer file came to my attention just this morning, and I was compelled to take special interest in your transfer because of its peculiar history of procedural inconsistencies and unauthorized payment approval documents that are contained in your file.

Consequently, I have this morning ordered the heads of all the relevant Government Departments genuinely involved in the foreign transfer protocol and the Bank to suspend all further action on your transfer pending conclusion of my personal investigation into the actual reasons why your transfer has failed to date. Official memos have been issued to the relevant departments. However, preliminary evidence shows clearly that some fraudulent persons have taken advantage your stalled transfer and have been extorting monies from you through concocted excuses and lies, only for them to divert the monies collected from you to their private pockets and return back to demand more monies from you endlessly. Please you should not allow yourself to be deceived and extorted anymore. As Chancellor of the Exchequer (HM Treasury) in the United Kingdom, I want to assure you that your transfer will now be processed through the simple, transparent and authoritative means where you will not be required to pay any unauthorized fees.

Please discontinue any form of contact with all those you have been dealing with before now, no matter the nature of your relationship with any of these crooks, including your local attorney. My intention is to quickly reactivate and sort out your transfer without any distraction. Reply immediately to acknowledge this advice, and I will instruct you further.

Regards,
Rt Hon Philip Hammond MP
Chancellor of the Exchequer

You better answer it. It's the mummy strawberry floating chancellor of the exchequer.

I got a similar one from the UN the other day

[Corazon de Leon]

I'd like to think that the email actually came from Phillip Hammond, and he personally is trying to scam people out of their hard earned cash. Same with the United Nations.

Cheers for this, will look into the cheaper option seems worth the risk

He has to pay for the NHS somehow.

[Victor Mildew]

He's got nothing to do now he's not on top gear.

Spat my coffee out all over myself, ta.

Wasn't he the bald General in Stargate SG-1?

I'm hosting a Q and A session on mental health and stress management on Tuesday morning. For virgin trains employees. It's part of their mental health awareness initiative. Should be interesting. It's only at a local level but never hurts to make some contacts and do a bit of networking whilst raising awareness for my field.

[That]

Good luck Denster, more people should be aware of their mental health, it's great that you're going out and educating people!

[False]

Are you actually an expert on mental health and stress managment? I know you work on a ward, but thats different to lifecoaching or whatever.

[Denster]

No. It’s not a formal lecture and I’m not being paid. It’s more about an introduction to mental health and with particular relevance to their situation so dealing with aggression, stressful situations and managing anxiety and distress. Also staff members mental health awareness and the impact on their working lives and of course the biggie highlighting or recognising behaviours could indicate someone is a risk to themselves or others.

On that I’m an expert. In fact - I’m a strawberry floating Jedi!

But it is just a taster session. It’s not staff training. More like a gentle confidence builder.
