I just got a job making plastic Draculas.

There's only two of us on the production line, so I have to make every second count…

Sandi Toksvig related a tale of a holiday job, where she had to stick the eyes onto some plastic toy troll.

She said she counted them to relieve the boredom, and on each hundredth, she stuck only one eye, centrally, like a cyclops…

That escalated quickly.....

The Royal Devon and Exeter hospital has a 'Patient Recruitment Office'. This is true. They have even advertised jobs for Patient Recruitment people!

No clues on the Wikipedia entry - although they did have a good sense of humour.

I am sorry! Please explain why such a midge attack is humorous. If you have experienced a cloud of midges concepts such as ‘a sense of humour’ pale into insignificance. See

It’s not the midge attack per se but the statistics. Why 49 billion, I demand a recount, they usually descend in hoards greater than 50 billion.

 

[SimonT]

Obviously Anoraks if they spend their time counting midges. Their stats are well dodgy if they don't quote the normal range. Outragious.

We used to visit a friend’s Gauge 1 garden railway on Mull at mid-summer each year. The live-steam locos would finish their run with their smoke-box door covered in more-or-less-to-scale dead flies.

That’s what it says. 49 billion above normal.

 

[Osgood]

Why not round it up and say 50 billion above normal, or twice?

I mean, 49 billion is only a smidge below 50 billion.....

 

[SimonT]

a smidge below

Awful, truely awful
