Initial gut reaction - a very excellent little puzzle. It's terrific!

Cheers Nagy!
I was greeted to a choir of Offshore managers and Onshore management team singing Happy Birthday to me on the morning call @8am.
Made a nice change!

offshore - on the platform/rig in the water
e.g. "Joe is working as an electrician at a construction site, how can he go about getting a job offshore?"
onshore - on the land, also often referenced by the term 'beach'.
e.g. "Joe was such a useless elephant, I sent him back to the beach."
The shoreline is the divide between the two entities.

Happy Birthday to you!

I have sat on my office desk a box of 24 Ferrero Rocher to munch on throughout the day!

It is the last day in the office for dear Mrs Wife, and she has taken a HUGE box in as she knows all staff will 'pop in' to wish her the seasonals. As she's the boss at the moment, her boss is back in Magyarland until January, she's done a Ferrero Rocher Tower for them to pick from.

Just the normal ones....I do like the coconut ones!
Edit: Just noticed the offensive spelling mistake in the word coconut now fixed...

I like the gold ones, I like the dark ones. The coconut are just nasty...because they promise chocolate and fail to deliver (which is an evil trick)

You're married and yet you seem surprised at getting something other than promised.

Everything that has javascript is buggy, including AJAX and jQuery.
I hate all the web applications that over-use javascript (I have a huge list). They don't work when you have slow or unreliable (mobile) internet connection. The 'improving the user experience' part becomes really frustrating. And the content-heavy mind-blowing stuff they load on your computer, when you see them in fiddler , half of the stuff has nothing to do with the user it's just there to make it look pretty.
It is awful that developers and companies design their web application for 10 Mbps internet connection. What about the rest of the world?
Please allow me to brag about myself... We are working on a major release of our web application, and I am proud to say that even when we are not using fancy coding-patterns and cutting-edge stuff, it works just fine on a 2G connection, with a 10 year old computer. No stupid half rendered pages, No blank popups, No failed requests, No dead logout links, And no more circular loading animations.
The current version of our application has started suffering from performance issues as we have started growing, so we fixed it by implementing a custom server side caching and rewriting some of our code base, and not by doing half of the stuff client side and then rendering partial pages. All I am saying is that, we haven't done anything ground-breaking, it's just that we don't want to use broken stuff for the sake of improving UX. Can't wait to release the new version.
- bragging and ranting over... for now...
