Feel a bit guilty about this one- which is in the current issue of 'The Spectator'.

I am in reality a bit of a fan of Derren Brown- this modern day combination of Catweazle and Paul Daniels- but, y' know- cartoons earn me extra dosh...

life skills

I had to go on a training course at work once- about how to lift boxes.

To prevent injury the 'heavy' box was empty- our instructor made us lift it from point A to B- pretending it was weighed down with typical I.T. Support garbage- you know the sort of thing- old printers leaking ink- faulty desktop computer- pizza crusts, etc.

I got a certificate and everything!

Anyway- if only they taught the real skills you need in The Office.
