Prudential moves call centres to India

Posted at 4:20am on Monday, September 30th, 2002

Times have to be hard if companies are choosing to even move their call centres abroad. Renowned as the worst/lowest paid/most degrading jobs in Britain there’s still an 80% saving to be made by moving your call centre to India. We’ve got 3 major call centres here in York. They replaced proper jobs like building trains and making chocolate. Are they to close as well? What’ll be left?

Does anyone want to explain to them what a munter is? (Just in case you don’t know either, I’d like to introduce you to munting.co.uk)

The real stars and stripes

Hadn’t been to adbusters for a while. Nice to see that they’re still going, and still producing really nice stuff. Does this count as treason?

Barrymore could have nuclear weapons in months.

Link between Al Quaeeda and Iraq proved by Bush… “They’re both nasty”

Here fishy fishy, here fishy fishy

Feed the fish. Sounds simple, but is deviously addictive (well, kept me entertained for a while anyway, but then again I do have the ‘flu)

Hmmm… This never happened with my space lego

Posted at 4:20am on Wednesday, September 25th, 2002

Maybe I stopped playing with lego too young. I didn’t realise it could be such a help around the home. I’m glad those guys don’t own any of these though. That would be too much.

I really can’t help it, I can’t

I’m sorry, following today’s events I can’t help but show you these two images (bushbook.jpg and bushanddick.jpg [a personal favourite]). They both turned up in my email over the weekend. Nice to see people are thinking of me!

They’ve updated it… Bastards

Posted at 4:20am on Tuesday, September 24th, 2002

The “nice” people at input have updated the Laser game and I’ve forgotten all the level codes, so if I want to try and do the new levels I’m going to have do the entire thing again… As I remember that was about 2 weekends of infuriating nonsense.

Nonetheless…
