Canteen
changes sauce from Heinz to YR
Clonskeagh - In a surprising move by the canteen company,
all Heinz sauce has been sold off and replaced by YR. Industry analysts
are surprised at the move and anticipate a sharp fall in stock prices.
"This move makes them look very unprofessional," a leading analyst told
me, "changing from one decent [sauce] to another looks like they don't
know what the underlying [company] problems are."
The Canteen Company had no one available for comment
on the sauce situation, but speculation is mounting that the sauce was
changed on advice from one Russ Manning, and not anything to do with company
problems. Russ has been getting things his way in the canteen for a while
now, but is on holiday at the moment and was unavailable to give a statement
to the Waltzer.net. Russ's being away is a good alibi for the sauce change
over, as it looks like he had nothing to do with it. The mystery continues...

People going through their ring-tones in public Ok, you might like to define your cool little personality
by choosing a ring tone that doesn't sound like a phone ringing, which
is fine if you don't mind replacing your memory of that tune with an awful
electronic beeping version. What you do in the privacy of your own home
is your own business, but please don't inflict your annoying set of ring
tones on the rest of us.
I first encountered this one early evening in a hotel
bar. I couldn't believe that someone could be so ignorant in a public
place where people are trying to relax. A bar member was collecting glasses
and I expected him to ask the young chap to knock it off, but to my surprise,
he said nothing. I've been kicked out of pubs of less.
The next time I saw this infuriating behaviour was on
a bus just yesterday. A twenty-something guy and his girlfriend got on
the bus singing. Pretty soon he was going through all his ring tones.
I was trying to read, but the apparent randomness of each tone, it's length,
and the desire for the guy to stop meant I couldn't read one word. I was
going to ask him if he minded, but with the lack of chemical courage I
resolved to stare at him instead. The guy in front of me joined me in
staring at the perpetrator, who soon put his shiny new phone away and
returned to his singing.
Now that wrecks me buzz. |

Australia - The Juggler seems to be having a good time down under, judging
by the photographs he sent up. The long awaited images portray Viv enjoying
the crack with the Swords massive. Unfortunately no text was sent with
the photos other than "Fuck you Hotmail", in response to hotmail's refusal
to transmit the images on the first attempt.
In 
If
listening to someone's mobile phone ringing isn't bad enough, some people
like to go through all their tones at full volume and in public.
