Missing from the list - not a directive

I'm glad you cleared that up

HCIMHTYFTTAT-Holy Crap It Must Have Taken You Forever To Type All That!!

Andy Pandy,

Very useful post. Cheers.

Anything that speeds up verbal abuse has to be all good.

But no KFPs ??

KYPO on Sunday Colin.

Noony.

Shouldn't the topic have been titled FYI

Hows that?

Pete

PS
Nice one Andy. We'll add it to the new front page ( when we get there )

Good idea. I was never quite sure about FUBAR, but as it happens I pretty well had the gist of it!

You mean you've never seen "Saving Private Ryan" Cedric !!

I spend ages at times trying to work out what some of the above mean.
I dunno, this internet lark is like learning another language.

JFDI - Just ******* do it!

VTEC - Just makes me smile


MTFAAHL - Many thanks for an amazingly handy list

we`ve got this one....


when a hardware component is faulty, we write `FUCT` on it, and when asked we say, `oh its FUCT`. If we are asked to qualify we say, Failed Under Constant Test.

Nice post, all these abbreviations get right on my t*ts sometimes, handy as they are.

NPATAGROMTSHATA.

TANJ - There Ain't No Justice

Love the 'Failed Under Constant Test', better than a 'Wide Area Network Crash'

VBH = Vicki Butler Henderson

Great post, Andy
There's a chap here called Peter Foad !!

Maybe we should start a funny name thread ....

OMG!!

Great idea. Have started one in the O/T section.

I've always thought that ROLFHARRIS has had potential as an acronym, but can't seem to work it out.

Where has Andy_Pandy gone !!

Good Question... And thanks for bringing this list back, I was looking for it the other day.

WFH - working from home
GTCT - going to Cheltenham today

you missed out N.O.R.W.I.C.H

Andy (and Monkey) bought a rather nice RAV 4 to replace the S2000 but I think he frequents the Corner on the U.S. side of the board from time to time.

AnDy PaNdY what a great post it is almost identical to my e-mail acronym dictionary! Whoopee!
