Here's a thing

Or a few to be more accurate.

The National bullying help line said it had received calls from people working at No. 10 Downing Street about being bullied by the Prime Minister.

Think for a moment .... these help lines are supposed to be confidential so by admitting someone has called you has breached that trust ?

Imagine if your local hospital put up a notice in public that someone in your office had Aids, surely that would make you all point fingers at each other and speculate?
That's the same as the help line saying they have had calls from people who work at Downing Street, surely the reason to ring them is for total confidentiality, they should refuse to comment and refuse to admit who has called them and why - without sounding judgemental would this encourage you to ring them ?

I can imagine them saying to your company "Yes, we've had several calls from people who say they are bullied at your work" - eyes will be looking at each other and fingers pointing.

Anyway, even more interesting is the new Derby inner ring road is going to be called Lara Croft Way ... I'm fine with this but though perhaps a few more gaming influences could be put into some more ?

How about ........


Wii Way
Xenomorph Street
Supply Drop Street
eLiTe SnIpEr StReT
Sonic Street
Super Mario Highway
Warcraft Way
Pro Tennis Court
Red Faction Rise
Xbox Live Lane
Bioshock Bypass
Banjo and Kazooie Road


and the list goes on - personally I'd like to live on Wii Way.
