Depends.

Is that a ewe-phemism for something?

A drone is also a musical term for a bassline that stays on the same note while the chords change over it, e.g. "Eye of the Tiger", "Substitute" by The Who, or anything written for the bagpipes.

This was an Open University production in association with After Hours.

No good for sheep then , unless they like The Who. They could dance around the meadow.

95% of people are useless, and will never be anything more than drones outside of their family and friends.

Do you mean do I do what i am told to do ALL the time?
Do I slave away just so that others can take advantage of me?
Do I just sit back and take crap handed out/down to me?
Do I Keep my mouth shut when there are local, national and international injustices daily?
Do I stick with an organisation just out of just fear?
Do I not think for myself and not swallow disguised spin and propaganda?
Do I just follow others like dumb sheep?

No.
Hell bloody no.

What I am, is a pain in the arse to drones!

Does this include the status of deceased figures on equine statues, versus signs in court notices and hirsute corpses?

Well, the other 95% do exactly what they are told like good little drones.

I know, self-quoting fail but if this even remotely sounds like you then you are a drone. Luckily some drones can change their lives. Most can not, and will never change.

Maybe you love your job, but this is for the Dublin Office commuters who aren't fulfilled by their work:

This is something that I've been wondering about a lot lately.

When you were growing up, did you ever imagine that you would sell yourself to some company from 9 until 5, 5 days out of 7? For 40 years out of the 50 years of adulthood that nature has given you? That they would effectively own you during those hours. And that its really more than that as well. You have to get up at 7/8 or whatever, and moreso have to go to bed early to be able to get up. So effectively they own you from 11PM to 6/7PM whenever you get home. And you get transport to work with other people in an electric or petrol burning metal transport box. And the same after your work, every single working day.
Did you ever imagine that you would be given a quota of days that you could be sick from work or been told how long you can spend eating your pathetic daily sandwich that someone else (in the same situation) made for you?
Did you ever think that you'd be told by someone (boss) that you're only allowed take 3 weeks out of 52 off work per year. Does this feel like a social prison of sorts to anybody else?
Come 11PM, you're tired from working and go to bed because you have to be up soon and are weary from your day of doing work for somebody else.
You have to wear the same type of clothes for the office every day.
If its raining, you wear a coat and walk through puddles with everybody else rushing from the dart station.
Lunch, and a measly coffee/cigarette break are the main excitements of the day.
Stress is the order of the day, rushing from place to place, trying to get home to your identical concrete living box, sandwiched in between 100s and further out 1000s of other boxes. Perhaps you're lucky enough to have one side of your box not attached to another one, and your house is a mirror of the one next door, not exactly the same! Lucky you...
Perhaps your metal transport box looks nicer or moves you about a little smoother or more comfortably than your neighbour. Lucky you!
Maybe your moving pictures box in your commuter storage box's "living room" is bigger or flatter than anyone you know! wow!

But did you ever think that you don't need to be working like this?
Most people tolerate their jobs, and get on with it because they need to pay the bills and because its the norm. Its the respectable thing to do. Work, earn money, buy food, buy services, buy "stuff" and go home, enjoy the spoils for the 5% of your life that you're not working or thinking about work or preparing or recovering from work.

Is all this work and wasting of lives in industry, sales, office work, etc etc worth it?
We should be out enjoying ourselves all the time, spending just enough time at work to earn money to buy basic food/shelter and pay for entertainment and your kids' same. The rest of our time I believe that we should spend doing whatever we *really* want to do.

ok, this is AH, so i am gonna say this: ireland would be a 1000time better (stronger) country without people like you!:cool:

that is the lame-st, laziest, most in-ambitious, incompetent kind of personality that sadly represent many many people in the country:(

recession will continously hit ireland for the next 100 years if everyone thinks like you.

people want a GOOD life but dont wanna work? change 'ireland' to 'Dream-land'.

I don't think he's saying that at all. What I took from that is that there are only a select few who are passionate about what they do for money. Passion is life as they say and few are so lucky.

I've never been out of a job since I was 17. I do what everyone around me needs me to do but not what I want. Am I going to stop doing what I need to do to follow a dream? Probably not. I'll just stand here with my lad in my hand p1ssing against the wind.

once felt like a drone but broke free thankfully. the majoirty of people don't even realise they are drones, thankfully, we need as many stupid people as possible to keep the wheels turning. as long as they have their xfactor and 42" to fill the few hours they are actually free, then they can sleep again and wake thinking its a new day.

The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat.
