From Article: The failure resulted in six of the seven toilets on the plane not being able to flush.
The airline said that it was looking into the problems.
That made me laugh...
It was broke, so I fixed it.

I have been given a brief to "Arrange New Year". Our normal MO is to go away and stay in a nice hotel where we don't have to do more than crawl from blow-out meal to detox-unfriendly drinks to the next indulgence; all the while knowing the girls are safe and welcome to be there. Last year was an exception - we went to Paris and partied with friends - but this year I need to think up something winning.
So the requirements are:
- Hotel with CHILD FRIENDLY NEW YEARS PROGRAM. 100% requirement; cannot be ignored.
- UK based. We have to stay here due to being on call.
- Calm ambiance and a bit posh. Examples are Tortworth Court[^] and The Newton[^].
- Plenty of trips to take in the area. We did Snowdonia one year; Scotland was fun.
- Things like a health spa, pool or golf course would not go amiss.
So hive mind, any ideas?

Not sure I understand the extreme reaction. Thought it was a harmless little joke.

First time I've been accused of having any kind of sense at all.

This year why don't you propose an alcohol free party where everyone challenges each other with self improvement ideas for the upcoming year?

As I said above. But twice.

You're like a hero to me.

Bravo, Chris!
My resolution was to put more things off. That was in 1973, and I haven't got around to making any more resolutions.

If you go there please let me know how it was. Many, many years ago some of my ancestors used to own the original castle it has been developed upon.. until a great, great uncle (not so great actually) lost it in a poker game!
[EDIT] Oops! Wrong castle! This is the one I was talking about: [^] Also a great place to try out.

Now that Michael Whinger is no longer likely to be there, this[^] might fit the bill.
And what a staggering Bill it would be!

English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

I keep returning to the same conclusion - can't get it outta my head: why bother?

I'm so un-holidayed this year that I'd settle for a playstation and a couple of crates of beer.

How about here[^]? It's quite nice, family friendly, and has no shortage of adult beverages. It also happens to be U.K. based, if not exactly geographically congruent.

I love this quote: "... seem to have forked up more than $634 million of the federal purse to build the digital equivalent of a rock."
But I read that CGI Federal is the darling Canadian company loved by all. Anyone up north care to comment?

Ummm, As a non US citizen or resident (UK) (hopefully you are) can you explain the fuss that Obama has caused to an outsider, The US seems to in limbo over this. It seems like a good idea but...

Put simply, if you have no money and break the law the government will pay for you to be defended but if you break your leg then you're on your own.
