I hadn't heard of it before, but once you mentioned the bit about emailing the Fire Department I knew that it was worth a watch, so thanks for bringing it my attention. Here's a link to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/w/The-IT-Crowd?v=7h8rMGjtve0&search=the IT Crowd" rel="nofollow">a clip from the show</a> for those who haven't seen it - this one isn't all that techie but a good indication of the type of humour that fuels the show. Nice to see you again Trevor - the Flickr trail is a long and windy one. In fact, all three of you are Flickrites - I guess it's a small world for those who spend too much time online.

I'm finding I best express myself through a keyboard and can only just remember how to sign my name on a credit card slip. I used to play Tetris too much and actually hallucinate large moving blocks dropping and rotating... In a new comedy on Channel 4 here in the UK, The IT Crowd, a tech support guy e-mails the fire department to tell them that a fire is blazing in his office, finishing his message with 'look forward to hearing from you'.

I seem to recall asking people to shoot me if I develop the "claw" from holding a mouse for too long. Funny the way the world lines up sometimes.
