Nazi's Should At Least Be Consistent

With the recent threat of power shortages and all that malarkey, our forest tech guy in the office has started getting on his high horse about our power consumption - as in, when he leaves he turns off the light in other people's offices if they are out, telling people off when they leave something on, etc. I don't have any problem with this - I am a firm believer in environmental awareness (as well as other forms of mental awareness). But what I find most entertaining is this:

When he goes home every night, he refuses to turn off his TWO 22 inch wide screen monitors.

Needless to say, I chuckle quite a bit every night. It's like dude, you are getting annoyed because someone leaves on a 60 watt light bulb, yet you can't turn off the biggest power suckers in your office? Not like turning them means you can't turn them back on in the morning.

And now all I'm thinking about it is the classic Alan Partridge line: "Needles to say... I took drugs"*

I hate it when a funny moment of a TV show completely takes precedent over something to the point where the mention of one word or line will be associated with that funny TV show moment for the rest of your life. What's worse, is how my flatmate can basically twist anything I say into a conversation from Corner Gas. She really needs to get out more.

This from a guy who has based all his love and relationship advice on what he has learnt watching Felicity.

But it works, dammit.
Next time you have relationship troubles, come to Dr. LogLove and test his Felicity theory for yourself. Comes with a 60 day money back guarantee



*for those who don't know, that line is when Alan and another woman are on a talk show discussing their auto-biographies; hers documenting her drug addiction, and his following his complete failure in life. When she comments that all his anecdotes end with "Needless to say, I had the last laugh" he tries to come back with "Your book could have said 'Needles to say... I took drugs'". Not quite as funny as the whole "I forgot - you're not Bono" line, or "Fe-fi-fo-fum, I smell the blood of an ungrateful bunch of bastards!" but still, quality television

You need to write a new post so that I can check your blog without Nazis popping up huge on my screen :)

Not that I'm demanding or anything...

A suggested post: continuing on the blog post you started to write in my comments ;-P
