Fun & General

Although we take our work seriously and enjoy doing it we also enjoy the lighter side of life. Like most people these days we get a lot of e-mails that are not strictly work related! Most are dross but some are priceless. By means of this page we’d like to offer a service to our industry by preserving and distributing the best.

What we are looking for are things that are, at least slightly related to our industry and are interesting, funny or better still both. As a first try we have put together a few examples.

(By the way if its particularly funny we are prepared to relax the relatedness filter!)

Video clips have been uploaded to YouTube and can be accessed from the column opposite. Other material and internet links can be accessed below.
