Hi All,
One of the projects I am on, which has a deadline approaching like a hammer. The thing is certain members of this team I think are making lots of noise with 'Hipchat' and I think that's all. I use 'Hipchat' primarily to talk to the French & Malta offices...the thing is it's used to avoid talking to people and doing anything... I suppose I am of the generation where you either wandered over to someones desk or phoned them. I am starting to feel analogue in a digital world...

No - you're just maintaining control.
I have a (flip) cell-phone. Anyone who knows me know I do not text and will not read texts. The reason is the same: If you have something I should know call. Tell me. Or, leave a message.
Besides the warm fuzzy feeling of human interaction and a better chance of getting what you need to know the first time out, you can do this with one hand (most of the time)!

Oh the terror of the masses, I was forced into using WhatsApp

Still don't get it, it's too easy to ignore requests by HipChat & WhatsApp (and to get weird emoticons) rather than if you go and speak to them ,I am a little big and ugly to not notice also drop a note on HipChat (too give you some bum coverage if it all goes south)

You must work in an "Open Office" plan. Our Slack channels have been rife with studies reporting how those abominations are actually DECREASING collaboration and communication. I find myself doing it, sending a Slack message to someone who is literally 5 feet away.

Can't recall if I have ever seen a documentary with narration in Scottish accent. Sounding so weird.

So you have not seen the historical documents[^]?
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Nope. BTW, I was referring to any wildlife documentary based in Africa with Scottish accent.

I a gree. You have not experienced a wildlife documentary until you have seen it in the original Klingon.

And you have not experience real wildlife until you cling on to your car seat while an adult elephant is chasing you because like an idiot, you separated their calf from the herd. Can't forget that sight.

Try taking a picture of a moose right across a small stream of water in Yellowstone Park. For the moose it was only a small step forward...

Really? I thought that there was a rule that said that David Tennant had to narrate at least 50% of BBC wildlife documentaries these days.

The other half are by that janner girl from Bristol.
|
|
|
|
|
Which Janner from Bristol? I thought a Janner was from Pompy / Devon not Brizzle.
|
|
|
|
|
Pompy?
They are all janners in the west country!
|
|
|
|
|
I thought they were from further south, or general west country (for that you don't need the subtitles for Hot Fuzz) 
|
|
|
|
|
Possibly, but I have heard it used to mean any local in Devon and Cornwall, so I wouldn't be surprised if it applied to Somersetites too.

Had to look "janner" up as I'd never heard it before, seems that it specifically refers to folk from Plymouth but occasionally gets generalised to Devon as a whole.

I think he played a doctor on one of those TV medical dramas or something. Meh.
