    What! What! What! The EMPIRE was built on tea! We need to swap addresses and I'll send you some fine English tea and you can send me some Finnish tea and we can compare!

    I'm reeling from your comments! Blasphemy!

    RE: $20 cough up

    I say just don't pay her anything and if pushed say why. Chances are there are other people who feel the same as you if she was such a cow to work under. Also, if she was earning much more than you she doesn't need the money. If I were your co-worker, I would have the utmost respect for you standing up to the bullshit like that. Sure, people might bitch for a couple of weeks, but when that crap fades I think in it's place will be a quiet respect for your honesty.

    Don't perpetuate the false feeling that everybody thought she was great, she will come back from maternity leave and be the same old rubbish.

    Haha, reading this back I realise I'm out on a limb here, but I can't stand office bullshit like that and I wouldn't be forced into it. If I couldn't face being a man about it (which I probably couldn't in fairness, so I understand your situation) I would just say I was too poor to handover £20 and dodge the issue in the future.

    I don't mean this post to come across in any other way than if we having a talk down the pub, so definitely no offence intended in anyway.

    Good luck!

    Whoa whoa whoa! There are some serious armchair director opinions going on here!

    The LotR films were brilliant and could have been longer - no Tom Bombadil or Grimald taking over the shire - I would have liked to have seen that too, no matter how long that made the film.

    Take that armchair people.

    You serious?

    I really can't tell.

    It was lots of mostly indie-games bundled in a pay-what-you-want, äh, bundle, with adjustable percentage as to what money goes to the developers, the bundle-people, charity. The last bundle was THQ and totally not indie though.

    Haha yeah I was serious! I'm clueless about stuff like this! If it's not on Steam, I'm never going to know about it, and if it is on Steam there's still a good chance I won't notice :P

    I gave £2 to Wikipedia yesterday - there's my payback.

    Lesson learned - never assume Armchair has any clue about what's going on in the game world - he probably has no idea. That's what I have you guys for!

    Edit: Thanks also to YS.

    I would, I love company of heroes...except I forgot my relic log in and I couldn't get back in - I even bought the games again on Steam but it remembered I didn't know my login and barred me. I'll try messing around with it again and let you know.

    Also, thanks YS for the forthcoming Saints Row key!

    On the SSD discussion, I've had 2 Samsung 64Gb SSD's for getting on for 5 years now and they have worked flawlessly - I have them in a mirror config (RAID 0 I think it is) and they copy themselves onto a hard drive, so if they fail I have a copy of my vital, life saving work. Ahem.
