I have just been unfortunate enough to witness someone bad mouthing me quietly to a group of people due to a piece of work that i didn't complete.

In actual fact, the work was handed over to another team due to resources so it was completely unfounded. but I did overhear someone say 'to be honest, I think that the work wan't suited tot he 'kind' of person who it was given to as I don't get the feel that Mimi is very organised'.

Anyone here who actually knows and works with me knows that I am the most organised person with my work that you can imagine. It is always the first tghing that someone says about me as I just do not drop the ball with my work.

I am feeling quite proud of myself, as i went over once peole had dispersed, asked for a quiet word, and without a fuss went to an offiec and told this person that i could hear the conversation, that obviously there had been some miscommunication, that I didn't appreciate the misplaced talk about my work ethic and skills and that if there was an issue i think I am like the majority of people in prefer being spoken to than about. I was perfectly pleasant and I think she crawled up her own bum a bit, but I'm glad I did that, even though i am shaking now i am back at my desk.

Photobox for me all the way. Their colours are true and natural, great paper - I especially favour the matte finish prints.

I tried snapfish once and all the skin tones came out with a greenish hue. It may have been a bad batch, but put me off ever going back.

Well done Mimi. Often people project their own shortcomings on others - most likely they are the disorganised one.

If an automated system responds to a request with an email and the email has a subject, "automated response 12345". Then in the text of the email it says, "Updates to this inquiry can be submitted by replying to this message.

Please do not make any changes to the subject header of this email."

When I reply to the email and it changes the subject to, "RE:automated response 12345". Have I changed the subject or not?

What do I need to do to make it work...? Except set fire to everything and start all over again? My knowledge of setting up shit like this is limited to clicking "Next" when the wizard tells me to.

Grim... you should abuse your powers to send everyone an email address reminding them about this place and saying hi we love you.

"A wedding, in London? That means the day after it can be the Ticket to Ride World Championships. In Greenwich! In a pub!"

26th Jan, people. Organise.

That's a Monday, BTW. Did you mean that day?

If so, I will take the day off

Sacking secretary, the Sunday is 25th. So yeah 25th.

I will sort out a later train home. Will check good beer guide for a pub. I think we will stay at the ibis in Greenwich. Shitpants will be up here so super fun party times and drunk train home!

It's all right. The beer is a bit tasteless, fizzy CO2 beer rather than ale.

Real ale is fucking horrible. The entire time I'm drinking it the only thing going through my head is, "Man, this would be genuinely tasty if only it was colder and fizzier."

I've done my usual and put the last £10 I won on it, back on 5 lines. I expect i'll win another tenner and do the same the next time it gets up to ludicrous levels!

I did my usual last Friday, and put on two lines through their website - one lucky dip, the other numbers selected manually.

You don't get to see your lucky dip numbers until you've actually put the ticket on.

6 of the 7 lucky dip numbers were the same as the numbers I selected manually.

You should climb out of your hipster ass and try some beer that doesn't have a pretentious label.

The term ‘Real Ale’ and its definition no longer mean anything. CAMRA have lost sight of the beer industry and continue to impose 1970’s arbitrary distinctions which no longer apply. According to this part on their website http://www.camra.org.uk/page.aspx?o=180630 keg beer is:

· Chilled, filtered (to remove all yeast) and pasteurized thus ‘killing off’ the product

· Has the natural CO2 removed then is force carbonated

· Served cold to disguise lack of taste

However, with BrewDog, Thornbridge and Lovibonds kegs to name just a few, this simply is not the case. It is also completely untrue for the US craft brewing industry where craft keg is leading the revolution.

Production of craft beer has moved so much since the 1970s. Our beers are fermented under pressure so the CO2 in the final beer occurs naturally from the initial fermentation. The beer is then filtered very lightly (to around 6 Microns which leaves yeast in the beer) and we then package (without any pasteurization) before shipping.

Does this make it real ale? Probably, but who really knows anymore. And who actually cares? The fact is that beer no longer must be either bottle/cask conditioned or filtered & pasteurized. A new way has emerged with the craft brewing wave that transcends these out-dated conventions.

keg beer is:

· filtered (to remove all yeast)

Anyone who brews wheat beer would like a word about this.

Oh, there is no doubting CMARA are up their own asses, but to say that beers like Citra, Hophead and many many others are lacking in flavour is just silly.
