    apart from reading mind numbing threads about "hot to fix the recession" , "the most boring fact you know" and "most memorable sex scenes"... i've read most threads here and considering taking up different hobbies based on other threads knocking about

    If you can surf boards all day in work as you seem to be doing then thats a start. If you're extra bored then start a topic that will get everyone talking.

    Google Eircom crossword and Indo crossword - print these off... there's half an hour gone right there...Enjoy! And if anyone knows what a fireproof material is with 8 letters I'd appreciate the help:D

    Put your new work colleagues "together" in your mind. If you're in a big office, months can pass!
