Eh? I think you're in the wrong thread mate. This one's about forming an international drinking task force.
It's definitely better OT. But as a mostly non-drinker (i.e. I get drunk once a year, and most of the time am happy with a glass of wine or a SoCo and Lemonade) I can't really comment.
It does strike me that the Finns, Aussies and Brits are mostly in on this, which is surely strengthening some stereotypes...

if we post on topic the thread gets locked!

No worries. As chairman, my first motion will be to shorten the year, quite considerably, to allow you to enjoy a drink every couple of days. All those in favour?
I'm as confused as anybody. Moreso than most, usually. Sam's moderation style is certainly unique!
Everything about Sam is unique - especially the server he uploads to 
(For all you uninformed, UKCT changed to a different server and spent AGES trying to get some software (was it the STCC manager?) working, with Sam logged into the server via RDC, changing the settings as he asked - after about 2 HOURS of it not working Sam realised he was logged on to the old server :X)

Grr! Thanks Jakq! I do hate it when people move the goalposts! I should start drinking again. Some things just made more sense when I was ratted 
Heheh, we've all done stuff like that in the past
what, like your STCC fuel loads? :P
(To the uninformed - Sam keeps miscalculating fuel loads in the STCC, he's run out of fuel and retired and had to pit in another roung)

Ah I've done that, thinking I'm uploading to our development server when in fact I'm uploading to one of the production servers. Inevitably it's only when I get completely frustrated at not seeing my changes and start inserting mountains of printed foul language that I realise my mistake, by which point a number of our clients' websites are telling their customers to go **** themselves...
As ...what?
You are the secretary or a nurse.
I'm teh president
Hankstar will make coffee and keep our beers cold, TAA will, ehm, and SamH will not take care of our servers. All the rest can come watch telly with me
Haha, classic
OMG! TFFT! I thought I was the only person who ever did that!! OMG I've made some messes in the past, on some fairly prominent websites
I had my first motion of the day a couple of hours ago, so I'm ahead.
What does teh presidents of teh intarnets watch on telly?

LFS onboard videos. Sometimes the 11th thousandth lap at AS3 with FZR onboard get a bit repetitive so we put the chat box temporarily on and watch it as parody
@Kev. You already wrote that down?
I seem to have some some holes in my memory. I don't see any Vodka bottles on the floor but I do not remember starting this thread. 
How does the aussies keep the beer cold?
Do they breath ice cubes? If they do, I want one!
edit.
Deggis you obviously turn in to a crazy cleaning maniac when you get drunk and get rid off the evidence.

Oh I've got a few other tricks up my sleeve. Another favourite of mine is to try to make a copy of an installation for development purposes, but get the args for the copy command in the wrong order and completely nuke everything.
Tsk! The problem with vodka is it doesn't really smell of anything. Hope you get your memory back some day
My favourite in ASP is definitely the absolute file location trick. You can refer to a file by either "C:\website\directory\file.txt" or you can refer to it as the server variable server.MapPath("/directory/file.txt"). One is a relative location, and the other has BIGGGGGG ramifications between the production and development sites on a single box
Bahhh! I was gonna let him keep thinking someone spiked his coffee
We came up with a great cock-up that later became known as "Schrodinger's Code" a while back, following a particularly disastrous upgrade cycle where thanks to fancy caching everything appeared to have worked fine, but the act of opening records for editing would sometimes destroy them, sometimes not.
Sorry, I cant see sober finnish men suffer from a bad memory.
You can still just delete the other thread and make me look like an idiot, too.
Oooh I like that one! Within the UKCT bunch, we have our own Schrodinger. Our friend Adrian has such a propensity for simple goofs that we discovered his own Windows account on his PC was "Adrain" instead of "Adrian". Thus, all screw-ups I make are conveniently referred to as "Adrains".
Fair enough! It's probably bad enough simply to find yourself waking up in this thread
That is a keeper
