    Subject: LETTER FROM MANAGEMENT
    Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2009 09:15:44 +0000


    Dear Employees,

    Due to the current financial situation caused by the slowdown in the economy, Management has decided to implement a scheme to put workers of 40 years of age and above on early retirement. This scheme will be known as RAPE (Retire Aged People Early).

    Persons selected to be RAPED can apply to management to be considered for the SHAFT scheme (Special Help After Forced Termination). Persons who have been RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed under the SCREW programme (Scheme Covering Retired-Early Workers). A person may be RAPED once, SHAFTED twice and SCREWED as many times as Management deems appropriate. Persons who have been RAPED could get AIDS (Additional Income for Dependents & Spouse) or HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel Early Severance).

    Obviously persons who have AIDS or HERPES will not be SHAFTED or SCREWED any further by Management.

    Persons who are not RAPED and are staying on will receive as much **** (Special High Intensity Training) as possible. Management has always prided itself on the amount of **** it gives employees. Should you feel that you do not receive enough ****, please bring this to the attention of your Supervisor, who has been trained to give you all the **** you can handle.




    Sincerely
    The Management

    Default Toast

    The Veerbeck Collection

    The 'trip' began at a fleamarket in San Francisco a few years ago. I came across my first old toaster, a beautiful chrome pop up monster. A few weeks later in Holland I bought one of the ugliest toasters ever made: The HAGEKA from the German Democratic Republic. Now, a couple of years later, I am proud to present a collection of nearly 600 different pieces.

    some of those toasters are awesome

    we bought a matching toaster and jug set... i wanted a jug that didnt sound like a jet engine and so of course the girl had to get the matching toaster.

    tea and toast is a very important ritual - cant be doin it with shoddy equipment!
    For clarity, nothing I say is advice....

    lol Peat...

    If only it wasn't so real...

    NB, An outside consultancy firm would have written a 200 page report at great cost, justifying the fact Andre had to go...

    Hey wait, i've just described most of the Govt Depts!
