BBC News | The Company File | Bank e-mail virus insults investors (#)
„"As the virus was sent from a personal computer which was temporarily used outside the main terminal, it was not related to our main network system in any way." A bank official told the BBC that its computer system had spotted the virus quickly. The company denied that "Dr Mountain Dew" might be an employee aggrieved at the merger plans. It said the virus had come from an outside source, the contract to publicise the deal having been "outsourced" to experts.“

„Downshifting means changing your lifestyle – to a better one, I suppose. If you’ve had enough of the daily grind – pack it in! If you’ve had enough of the boring daily routine – pack it in. If you’ve had enough of a boring dead end nine-to-five job – pack it in, too.“

„As you know, we try to have these away days about once a year. But the purpose of today is to get away from the office environment and the daily grind and to take a step back, so that we can explore what we really do, what our main strengths are, and where improvements could be made in our systems. Right, well, we’ve got a lot to get through today - lots of exercises, role plays, and I think it’ll be a challenging day. But I also hope it’ll be fun, too.“

BBC - History - Elisabeth Dakin (c.1848)
„Once roasted and ground the coffee is ready for brewing. The simplest method in the 19th century was to pour hot water into a pot with coffee grinds. The problem was separating the coffee grinds from the liquid coffee. Elisabeth Dakin took a standard coffeepot and put a perforated cylinder - similar to a sieve - in the middle, into which she put a plunger on a screw thread.“
