is (was) he Dr. Love if so he got shifted to Bath office about three years ago. If my name was Love and I had a phd, I would have to phone people with the line 'Doctor Love calling'
Too many Barry White puns....

Yes, Dr Mike Love!
He used to be the main shareholder (he founded the business with one other guy, I believe). Most of the staff seemed to be a bit intimidated by him, but I just treated him like anyone else. I had him roaring with laughter in one meeting over some toilet humour. The other attendee looked like a deer in the headlights!
They didn't have an office in Bath then, but that would be closer to Mike Love's home. He lived south of Bath, near Bradford I think - I went to his house once.
Other names I remember:
Kate - head of HR
Terry Evans
Andy White
Paik Sun Green (not sure of the spelling)
James Ritchie
Liz Molyneux
Colin Timpson
It would be neat to know if any of them are still around. If your friends know any of them, please pass on my regards.

Thanks Glenn, it is. You started me on a web search. It was Chris Timson (not Colin Timpson), my memory is going (creeping senility).
Mike Love is still non-executive Chair. The SciSys website doesn't make it easy to find names or contact information apart from directors. A few names ring bells, but it might be that they are those sort of names.
I'm fairly easy to find on fb and LinkedIn. Feel free to pass the info on.

A colleague of mine was driving to work a couple of weeks ago and whilst waiting for a light to change noticed something on the pavement that looked like a small package. He nipped over, and it was a sealed jiffy bag with no address of anything else written on it.
So obviously he picked it up, hoped it would be stuffed full of used bank notes, got back in his car and went on his way.
The contents, when finally he checked?
A single pair of women's underwear, no tags, no obvious sign of recent soiling.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

A wand is a pointy stick for pointing at things/people do to things. Can't figure out the rest though 
Edit: oops. double posted...

As is customary, I will post the clue at a civilised time - 1230 UTC (although it will still be a very uncivilised time for me).
You guys really need to start solving these before I wake up...

Seems like they want ever more forgettable password every year!
I am trying to change my password to GoDaddy (site that I easily visit once every 3 years!) and they want such an annoying password....
Ho well, I guess this is the purpose of the "I forgot my password" link!...

I use last pass - literally saves me hours sometimes - especially on some sites like that do the visit often but want a secure password.
For the ones I don't care about I set my password to
SomePassword01
Or similar
Though I guess if someone guessed it they would be able to comment on a bunch of sites I don't care about!

Now this looks awesome. I hope the product is as good as their French version of the site is bad.

I try to let the browser save my passwords for such websites. I don't remember anything at all.

yeah... hopefully I will still have that computer and browser next time I log in to GoDaddy!

No advertisement! Use Chrome, it stores your passwords wherever you are or which ever device you're using.

I use this feature in chrome a lot.
EXCEPT, I realize they are storing this on their severs.
Therefore, I do not let it memorize my SECURE Ring of passwords.
All of my other passwords it can have, but nothing that connects to
banking, money accounts, or just the stuff I better be accessing for a reason.
I use a specifically secure password set for those.
But I really do leverage the feature of having it memorize my passwords. I
also use an encryption tool on my desktop to store client/customer passwords I am
not allowed to have memorized. (again, this file is encrypted from the SECURE ring).
Because given enough of your passwords, usually all of them become hackable. Which
is why I hate sites that store my password in plaintext and email it to me "thanks
for seting your password to OhMyGosh123"... Great... That email is everywhere now!
