AdminMVP Awards will be finalised this weekadminChris Maunder1-Jan-13 6:12 
We're making a list and checking it twice to put together our annual list of CodeProject's Most Valuable Professionals. The announcement will be on the site this week and in the newsletter next Monday.
 
I'd normally say "good luck" but this isn't about luck - it's about hard work and all those who gain the MVP title have earned it.
 
I'm looking forward to congratulating the top members, but wish I could offer a thousand such awards.
cheers,
Chris Maunder

Herself is watching the BBC Breakfast, and they have some lady on, talking about her "achievements" this year.
 
Among which she includes:
 
"Removing a dead mouse from a vegetarian friend's mousetrap"
"Looking for a lost dog, and not finding it."
 
Is it just me, or are those a bit, well, b*ll*cks?
 
It's OK for vegetarians to kill things, but not to eat or touch them afterwards? Confused | :confused:
Not finding a missing dog is an achievement? D'Oh! | :doh:

It could be worse. It could be an interview by that moron slut called Kay Burley on Sky. I was reading an early manuscript about the Mongolian language and I was amazed to discover that in their language, Ka y Bur ly, translates literally into "the heap of horse manure covered in flies."

I'd never heard of her before, but I can see why you dislike her that much - the first result when searching for her name was the Machynlleth story. Stupid, ratings-seeking cow!

She's even worse than that. I recall something about the bitch when she interviewed the wife (I think it was) of that bloke Steve Wright who murdered those ladies of the night in Ipswich a few years ago. She asked a question on the lines of "Do you think he'd have murdered them if you'd had let him have sex more often?", something on those lines. I'd have been much happier if those five women had lived and he'd have got rid of that slut in their place.

String her up - if we had two of her then she could make her self useful as one of a pair of conkers.

Oh I dunno - I'm pretty good at finding things, provided they haven't been moved when where I last touched 'em. If Herself moves my keys a foot or so, I'll miss 'em completely and have to actually search!

Now, that has a familiar ring to it - but then keys are usually a bit more inconspicuous then a dog - and they don't bark all that often ..

Of course, just like running over a child and calling an ambulance.
It's an achievement because nobody saw it and she could have gotten away with it if she fled.
 
Grand achievement of the year.

Yeah I saw that - though I misheard one of her 'achievements' as "Removing a mouse from a vegetarian mousetrap". I presumed it was one of those trap-the-mouse-alive-so-you-can-be kind-and-let-it-go-again mousetraps that seem completely pointless. Much like many of the lady's achievements in fact... Smile | :)
GeneralRe: Morning TV news magazine programs really are drivelmemberBrady Kelly1-Jan-13 23:00 
Regardless the content, the concept of the 'magazine program' is elephanting repulsive. Give us proper news, true life drama, or go all the way and give us 666 Park Avenue or Walking Dead.

Can't happen, because people with real talent and interesting things to say are kept off the air by the hordes of useless morons whose only dogged objective is to get air time, even if they can't do anything good with it when they get it.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
