Gasp!
One of my colleagues must take the prize for most boring conversationalist of all time. Today he has been "entertaining" me on the topic of 5 1/2" floppy disks for almost 45 minutes. You know, about stuff like how the disks used to come unformatted ("as opposed to today, where media comes pre-formatted"), how many kilobytes the disk had available and how much of that you could actually use etc. What the fuck? No one has used those disk since 1989 or so, and no one cares.
Still, it is infinitely preferable to him talking about bus routes..
"I used to take the 43, which is actually called the 52 now, and then I would change in (insert random Swedish provincial shithole) and walk across the street and take the 26 or 27, can't remember which, although I think it was the 27, either way it is now called the 6B, and that would take me to work quite quickly, unless of course it was snowing badly, in which case I was better off taking the 400 all the way to (insert random Swedish provincial shithole) and then take the 88 for the final journey. 88 did I say? I mean the 88A, of course, silly me, the 88 doesn't stop at the bus stop I use, of course unless I need to go the park, but then I'd probably just take the 52 and then walk, unless I was bringing a picnic basket or something, but in that case I might just drive as well".
Yawn.
