    It goes on like that for hours with a 20 question exam at the end. You can kind of guess how it develops from that first question.....
    It sounds nightmarish.

    Are these people not familiar with the works of Franz Kafka, George Orwell or, for that matter, Joseph Heller?

    Yes. That might be good too. Although the family would probably object

    True. Sometimes families are no fun at all.

    How can you work in a University and not have heard of Bob Marley? Is there not a poster of him on every student's wall?

    In fairness, my dad has never heard of Bob Marley. He thought people were on about Barry Manilow.

    You have to speak to HR about your issues. They interview to establish whether you are a modern day Hitler.

    THe woman who has to interview me knows me quite well and is dreading the meeting. With good reason

    Which reminds me, there is a bloke here who had never heard of Charles Dickens.
